"For the convenience of my friends, I was christened Charles," said he. I stared at him in amazement. He was grown a deal stouter, but my eye was caught and held by the blue coat and buff waistcoat he wore. They were frayed and stained and shabby, yet they seemed all of a piece with some new grandeur come upon the man. "Is all the world turning virtuous? Is the millennium arrived?" I cried.
"No, you would look at the same time." "I swear I will not." "Let me bandage your eyes." "Certainly; but I will: bandage yours too." "Yes; we will play, at blindman's buff." Before the bandaging began I took care to make them swallow a good dose of punch, and, then we proceeded to play.
It was a tiny place, not more than six feet in length, and its dirty buff paper hung in shreds, giving it a most miserable aspect; besides which, the ceiling was so low that a tall man would have felt in danger of bumping his head. This sofa, which filled nearly half the room, served Raskolnikoff as a bed.
Little Hannah's fright was quite as great in her secret fear that Old Buff might be the witch-cat. She gasped when she saw her father take his gun from the wall. "We'll put an end to these witch-cats," he declared, and stalked out. Hannah held her breath in fear. She heard no shot, however. At last her father came in and looked over his gun. "It wouldn't work," he muttered.
Not very pleasant hearing! Silence was maintained till they had rounded a corner and the tall buff house was left behind. Then Terry raised a shy, laughing face. "Downcast, Tabs? You look as though you were bearing the sins of all the world." "Not of all the world!" he corrected gravely. "Only of three people." "Then I'm one of them. Who are the other two?" "You know already Mrs.
"Well I'm a kind of plaid at present mixed colours" something very like this he must have noticed in the Report. A constable, asked was his comrade, one Seagrave, Buff, answered, "well, half and half, I believe." In the Report, voters were captured and put to bed at the White Horse; and Sam tells how he "pumped over" a number of voters at the same house. The very waiter, who received Mr.
Somebody or other, of the Royal Coburg Theatre, ‘as he appeared in the character of Tongo the Denounced.’ The consequence is, that there is not a marine-store shop in the neighbourhood, which does not exhibit for sale some faded articles of dramatic finery, such as three or four pairs of soiled buff boots with turn-over red tops, heretofore worn by a ‘fourth robber,’ or ‘fifth mob;’ a pair of rusty broadswords, a few gauntlets, and certain resplendent ornaments, which, if they were yellow instead of white, might be taken for insurance plates of the Sun Fire-office.
"A regular Queensland bird. I've seen it there." "What is it?" said Carey. "The rifle bird; a near relative, I believe, to the birds of paradise." "But it's nearly black," protested Carey. "Birds of paradise are all fluffy buff feathers." "Some of them," said the doctor, "but there are many kinds, some much more ornamental than the kind you mean."
Even the grand quadrangle of the Tuileries seems dismal after it, grand as are its ogre-roofed 'pavilions' and triumphal arch, for it lacks the refreshing verdure. The eye wearies of the everlasting buff color. Not to overstep the subject, we will say just one word about the street plans of our cities. It is really shameful that these are not more studied.
"Have you seen Lady Latimer since the last school committee, Mr. Phipps?" asked Miss Buff, in mischievous allusion to their latest difference of opinion. "No. I always keep as far as possible out of her ladyship's way." "If you had her spirit of charity you would not avow it." "You take the name of charity in vain.
