The Chieftain might not be the rose, but he was at least near the rose, and it would be well to enlist his interest as well as that of his brother. "Doesn't he look splendid?" Mr Elgood started, and for a moment his round face expressed the blankest bewilderment, then his eyes lit upon Ron, and comprehension dawned. "Ah, yes," he returned indifferently, "nice-looking lad!
Allan, who knew nothing whatever of woman's natures, and who told the truth right and left in all mortal emergencies, answered as if he had been under examination in a court of justice. "It's a name in three syllables," he said. Miss Milroy's downcast eyes flashed up at him like lightning. "Three!" she repeated in the blankest astonishment.
"Oh, Bill! . . . Where?" She had run across the roadway. "Oh, Bill take us!" The boy running too yet not so quickly as 'Dolph caught a vision of a face upturned in blankest amazement as tug and barges swept down stream out of reach. But still Tilda hailed, beating back the dog, to silence his barking. "Oh, Bill! Where're yer goin'?" As she had cried it, so in agony she listened for the response.
The Austrians are viewing Friedrich, too, this morning; but in the blankest manner: their outposts fire a cannon-shot or two on his group of adjutants and him, without effect; and the Head people send their cavalry out to forage, so little prophecy have they from signs seen.
The sand-workers were still laboring, though navigation was, of course, at a stand-still. Netty never saw Kosmaroff, however, who had gone as suddenly as he came had gone out of her life as abruptly as he burst into it, leaving only the memory of that high-water mark of emotion to which he had raised her. Leaving also that blankest of all blanks in the feminine heart, an unsatisfied curiosity.
The Lord Proprietor!" echoed the Commandant, laying down his glasses and rising to his feet in blankest amaze. "Yes, sir; shot with his own gun, and, they say, by Eli Tregarthen! The two men have pulled across from Inniscaw for help, and to fetch the constable.... I had the news from Sam Leggo hisself, as he raced off to knock up Mr. Pope." The Commandant sank back in his chair.
When we look at this picture, drawn by hope and fancy, and then turn to the reality, when we see Mexico as she is, the blankest failure of the century, when we run over her forty years of anarchy, with its four constitutions and twenty-seven plans of government, with its bewildering array of presidents and dictators that come and go until the eye is wearied and the memory fails to preserve even their names, when we behold her the helpless victim of any power that chooses to assail her, when, in short, we compare the Mexico that is with the Mexico that was to be, we ask ourselves, What are the causes which have made so many advantages worse than futile? what fate has ordained that so much sacrifice and so much blood should be lavished, and in vain?
"He looked at me mighty solemn cherry-rum solemn. 'Obed, he says, 'you're a good feller. Don't you give me away, now, or I'll lose my berth. The man that owns that yacht's named Davidson, and he's got a summer place right in this town. "'Davidson! says I. 'DAVIDSON? Not young Allie Davidson? "'That's him, says he. 'And he's the blankety blankest meanest low-down cub on earth. There!
For example, when thou thyself, a watery, pulpy, slobbery freshman and new-comer in this Planet, sattest muling and puking in thy nurse's arms; sucking thy coral, and looking forth into the world in the blankest manner, what hadst thou been without thy blankets, and bibs, and other nameless hulls? A terror to thyself and mankind!
Jimmy achieved one of the blankest stares of modern times. He looked at Ann. Then he looked at Bartling again. "I think there's some mistake," he said. "My name is Bayliss." Before his stony eye the immaculate Bartling wilted. It was a perfectly astounding likeness, but it was apparent to him when what he had ever heard and read about doubles came to him. He was confused. He blushed.
