I would give something to see that fellow climbing up the ladder of a steamer from a boat on a blowy day." "Or dancing to the bagpipe," said Paul. The sky was cloudy, and the captain seemed irresolute, whether to advise me to make the ascent or proceed to Banya.
Morrison's visit, she had been wretched enough, spending most of it walking very fast, as driven spirits do, with Fritzing for miles across the bleak and blowy moor, by turns contrite and rebellious, one moment ready to admit she was a miserable sinner, the next indignantly repudiating Mrs.
I suppose when I get into the great school I shall never see it. We ran down shouting and yelling after the boats. I thought I should never be happy again if Cambridge didn't win. It was such a disgustingly sleety, blowy, snowy, windy, raspy, muddy day, as you never saw. And such crowds of fellows cheering and screeching out to the crews. Such a rout!
On a blowy Sunday afternoon in February the chief clerk received a wire calling him to the office of the general manager. He found his chief pacing the floor. As the secretary entered, the general manager turned, faced him, and then, waving a hand over the big flat-topped desk that stood in the centre of his private office, said: "Take this all away, John.
The blue tea-gown with the pink roses, and the lace cap, and the bad cold were not for nothing. Thursday night, November 24th. "Now that you have embarked upon this " Lady Ver said, when I ventured into her sitting-room, hearing no voices, about six o'clock. I won't be in when Charlie arrives from Paris. A blowy day like to-day his temper is sure to be impossible." "Very well," I said.
His light was one to burn beneath an extinguisher. At the luncheon table of the Duvidney ladies, it was a pain to Dorothea and Virginia to witness how poor the appetite their Nesta brought in from the briny blowy walk. They prophesied against her chances of a good sleep at night, if she did not eat heartily. Virginia timidly remarked on her paleness.
I think I already know who she'll be; if I'm right, I shall be so very glad. I feel so humble so apologetic. It's such a different ending from the one we dreamt when I saw you off on the troop-train with my hair all blowy down my back. There's nothing gained by recalling that. I meant so well by you; you've always been so much to me, my dearest, loyal Tabs.
If it were necessary to account for the difference of three leagues in a reckoning, where so much is given on conjecture, it would readily occur to a seaman, that an allowance of two leagues for drift, during a long night of blowy weather, is but a small one.
It came on very dark and blowy; and as it was too late to make a harbour, we gave the shore a wide berth, and ran on. The next forenoon, when we made the land, we found that we were to the southward of Kailua. As we stood in, Mr Callard told us that on the shore of Karakakooa Bay, which was before us, Captain Cook met his death, and that he would show us the very spot where that event happened.
Sometimes I feel as if I did not really earn my salary, and Mrs. Barrington is so kind." "And now I begin to feel quite at home with some of the young ladies. I am proud of being a good scholar, but I study with all my might and main," laughing. "And next year I may earn a little money." Sunday was bright but rather blowy.
