If you are going to defend him at the Assizes, I don't envy you your job, Mr. Harley." He was blatantly triumphant, so that the fact was evident enough that he had obtained some further piece of evidence which he regarded as conclusive. "I have detained the man Ah Tsong as well," he went on. "He was an accomplice of your innocent friend, Mr. Harley." "Was he really?" murmured Harley.
The worn nerves could not keep their present tension much longer. It was just by the brook, or, as they say in Indiana, the "branch ," that something happened which brought him to a sudden decision. Ralph never afterward could forget that brook. It was a swift-running little stream, that did not babble blatantly over the stones.
Also, if I see aright for it is always twilight in this land of memories he sticks an eyeglass in his eye and stumbles over everything. He has a lordly contempt at this age for the other sex, a blatantly good opinion of himself, and a sociably patronizing manner toward all the elderly male friends of the family. Altogether, it must be confessed, he is somewhat of a nuisance about this time.
And Herr Keller's person was offensive. He exhaled a smell unpleasant if scholastic. Dressed in a soiled, shiny, black garb, and with a bristly mustache and beard which often showed egg of a morning, he talked blatantly of having been in Paris as a soldier in '70. It was his one excursion out of Saxony. Even the German language at such a cost was not very inviting.
Instantly, too, three others spoke, aimed at her flash and she heard the spatter of lead against stone nearby. In the confined space the fusillade bellowed blatantly, and slowly diminishing echoes lingered after the firing itself ceased. Then once more the silence which was more trying than gunnery settled. Slowly an idea dawned in the girl's mind, and strengthened into conviction.
We found that in the long run the men who in public blatantly insisted that labor was never wrong were the very men who in private could not be trusted to stand for labor when it was right. We grew heartily to distrust the reformer who never denounced wickedness unless it was embodied in a rich man. Human nature does not change; and that type of "reformer" is as noxious now as he ever was.
As his limping German did not give him confidence about the up-and-down variety of the Saxon dialect, he did not venture this afternoon to find his way by tram to the house. The blind German script in which his hosts' solicitous and minute instructions were couched, and the funny singsong of the natives talking blatantly about him, made him feel still more helpless.
They emphasize the commonness of much that surrounds them, much that blatantly would obscure them if they were not pronouncedly superior. They would not be discounted to any considerable degree if they were placed among the known masters of landscape painters of all modern time.
Jerkily then, and blatantly unskilfully, with riotous puffs and spinning of wheels, the great car started, faltered, balked a bit, then dragged crushingly across the Senior Surgeon's flattened body, and with a great wanton burst of speed tore down the sloping meadow into the brook rods away.
His chief recommendation is that he writes blatantly concerning commonplaces, regardless of music or rhythm. Here's a bit of him concerning the taming of oxen. He says the tamer lives in a "'Placid pastoral region. "Stop, stop!" cried Lorimer, putting his hands to his ears. "This is a practical joke, Beau! No one would call that jargon poetry!" "Oh! wouldn't they though!" exclaimed Lovelace.
