I walked slowly back reflecting on this conversation, upon the motives impelling Mr. Jason to become thus confidential; nor was it the most comforting thought in the world that the artist in me had appealed to the artist in him, that he had hailed me as a breather. But for the grace of God I might have been Mr. Jason and he Mr.
A few minutes later Manders came down into the stalls and sat by Barbara. "Just a breather," he explained. "No good nagging your people, particularly when they've been at the job for years and you're a new-comer. . . . Some of my spoiled darlings find that a little Eric goes a long way. You're sure you're not bored, my dear?" "I can't see very well," Barbara answered.
"There, what did I say?" cried Andrew. "You really are about as quarrelsome a fellow as ever lived. No, no; I don't mean that. Come on, Frank, old lad; I do want a breather this morning. I'll do anything you like run races if you wish." "Will Mr George Selby be out there on the look-out for you?" "No," said Andrew, with a gloomy look. "Poor fellow! I wish he would.
He often gave his horse a "breather," as he called it. The animal was so strong and powerful that he chafed at restraint, and, unless ridden regularly and hard, had a very disagreeable, fretful trot. After a good gallop up one of the long Rockbridge hills he would proceed at a quiet walk. The tenderness in my father's heart for children I have already often remarked upon.
Well, sir, I'd a London footman, who was a sharpish fellow, and used to dissipation in general; he heard the carriage drive off, and ran to catch it. I gave him a pretty good breather as I rattled down the avenue. The fellow puffed like a grampus when he got up behind, making no doubt it was all right, and he hadn't been found out.
The crew was divided into "watches," six taking an hour's "breather" while the other six rowed, hour and hour about, alternately rowing and resting. When the wind served they hoisted their big square sail, our hero at the tiller.
But it's impossible to tell exactly, unless you know how lame the fellow was, and how long a call he made," said Frank, who liked to be accurate. "Jack couldn't do it in less, could he?" "He used to run up that hilly road for a breather, and think nothing of it. It would be a long job for him now, poor little chap, for his leg often troubles him, though he hates to own it."
And so it turned out. From the first things went badly. John Westonhaugh's fresh pony was very wild, and he had to take him a breather half over the ground before he could take his place for the charge. When at last the first stroke was made, the ball went low along the ground, spinning and twisting to right and left.
The fact is, it's like this and I hope you're not in a hurry, because the story's rather a breather. Father and mother are away, and when we went down playing in the sand-pits we found a Psammead." "I cry thee mercy! A Sammyadd?" said the knight. "Yes, a sort of of fairy, or enchanter yes, that's it, an enchanter; and he said we could have a wish every day, and we wished first to be beautiful."
When they were safely past that point they took a breather, and Vye glanced aloft again. Now the sky was empty. "We may have arrived, or are about to do so," said Hume. "Where?" Hume shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine. And both of us can be wrong." The steep ascent did not quite reach the top of the cliff around the face of which the ledge curled.
