Worcester might have some curiosity to know what Acton's idea was, but he wasn't going to inquire anything about the niggers. "It's awfully brickish of you, Worcester," said Acton, as Grim was heard trotting up the corridor "to stand down." "Not at all; the sacrifice is on your altar." "Then allons. Here's Grim knocking, and I've to see Corker at 9.40. You'll excuse me."
It was as though her bosom had suffered from a prolonged drought at a susceptible period of development, and had never recovered. The one proof that blood ran in her veins was the pimply quality of her ruined complexion, and the pimples of that brickish expanse proved that the blood was thin and bad.
"I don't see anything brickish in saying that; it was the truth. It was you that made me tell, you know; and it wasn't fair for me to be praised for your goodness." "You really are awfully straight, for a girl," said Christopher, with admiration; "you couldn't be straighter if you were a boy." This was high praise, and Elisabeth's pale little face glowed with delight. She loved to be commended.
If punctuality is a test of politeness, Curtis, Morgan, Philpot, and Morrison were that afternoon four of the politest young gentlemen in the land; for they were all inside Cusack's study almost before the bell dismissing third school had ceased to sound. "Jolly brickish of you, old man," said Morrison, complacently regarding the unpacking of the magic hat-box.
"So you're quite safe now, Acton?" said Jack, beaming. "Oh, quite," said Acton, laughing. "Now, Jack, you've been no end brickish, and I'm going to treat you. Ever seen a ballet?" "No." "Well, you shall." A hansom flitted slowly up to them, and Acton hailed it. "In you get, Jack. Kingdom!" said Acton to the cabby.
You did not know where to look, and so you missed all that was important. I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot lace. Now, what did you gather from that woman's appearance? Describe it." "Well, she had a slate-colored, broad-brimmed straw hat, with a feather of a brickish red.
He mused, rubbing his tousled, brickish locks with a nervous hand. "I was getting to kind of like that young pup," he muttered moodily. The saying that no news is good news was surely concocted by some one who never chafed through day after lengthening day for that which does not come. But in the end it did come, in the form of a scrawl from the Weeping Scion himself.
The sun looked in on him pleasantly, he took a sniff of air from a brickish garden, saw the brown walls of the cathedral not far away, and then went back to bed. A sudden and overpowering weakness came upon him which made the bed agreeable. Here he was to receive such friends as would call upon him that day.
"Nothing," said Jack, as pleased as I was; "and he says any time of an evening when he's away we can use the lower room as if it was our own. Isn't it brickish of him?" I agreed heartily in the sentiment, and proceeded to Hawk Street with less weight on my mind than ever. There, as was natural, I found myself an object of a good deal of interest and remark.
"You'll have to promise not to fool," said he, presently, "or there'll be a row." "Oh, rather; we won't touch anything without asking, will we, Pil?" replied Cusack. "Awfully brickish of you, Philpot." Philpot took the compliment very complacently, and the two students settled themselves one on either side of the table and waited for operations to begin.
