"This'll do us well," he said. It was a biggish room, looking out over the school grounds. There were a couple of deal tables, two empty bookcases, and a looking-glass, hung on a nail. "Might have been made for us," said Psmith approvingly. "I suppose it belongs to some rotter." "Not now." "You aren't going to collar it!"
On a particular holiday, it was advertised that a great excursion train would start from the Clatterby station at a certain hour. At the appointed time the long line of carriages was pushed up to the platform by our friend John Marrot, who was appointed that day to drive the train. "Bill," remarked John to his mate, "it'll be a biggish train. There's an uncommon lot o' people on the platform."
So absorbed was she that she failed to notice that her own small skiff was getting rather dangerously hemmed in. To her right lay a biggish sailing vessel, blocking the view on that side, behind her a small fry of miscellaneous craft, packed together like a flotilla of Thames boats on a summer's day awaiting the opening of the lock gates.
Benefit for many if I put down my religious thinks for a second New Testament. What say you, Eylwin Jones? Lots of says very clever I can give you 'is he sticking? A biggish paper was the black pasting about Walham Green Music Hall. What do you mean for that? And the posters for my between season's sale were waiting to go out."
Edward's having gone up to bed made it impossible to hide their booty in any of the boys' bedrooms. "What about your spare bedroom?" said Tommy; "you've got a biggish one, I know." "Miss Carson is sleeping there," said Jack. "But I tell you what, she's not using the dressing-room. I know, because the girls keep some of their swaggerest dresses and things there.
Then, with a raging impatience, he waited while the deposit he had collected from the riffles of the sluice-box was examined under the lamplight. At last Bill raised his eyes, and Kars read there all he wanted to know. "It's mostly color. There's biggish stuff amongst it." "That's how I figgered." Kars' tone was full of contentment. "Well?"
The very fact that Australia incloses a large group of biggish quadrupeds, whose congeners once inhabited Europe and America, suffices in itself to prove beyond question that uninterrupted land communication must once have existed between Australia and those distant continents.
Among them was Pigeon, the bullying fellow. I happened to be awake one night, when, by the pale moonlight which streamed in at the windows, I saw Paddy Adair sit up in his bed and look about him. Pigeon and another biggish fellow did the same. They signed to each other, and slipping on their clothes, crept with their shoes in their hands out of the room.
There we two bent our dark heads over a half-unrolled chart lying on my bed. "There," I said. "It's got to be Koh-ring. I've been looking at it ever since sunrise. It has got two hills and a low point. It must be inhabited. And on the coast opposite there is what looks like the mouth of a biggish river with some towns, no doubt, not far up. It's the best chance for you that I can see." "Anything.
But by and by, as said, this evening after sundown, the wind sitting in the west, biggish swollen clouds to be seen as the night increased and the weatherwise poring up at them and some sheet lightnings at first and after, past ten of the clock, one great stroke with a long thunder and in a brace of shakes all scamper pellmell within door for the smoking shower, the men making shelter for their straws with a clout or kerchief, womenfolk skipping off with kirtles catched up soon as the pour came.
