Hoping he would do better with strangers, he had, by personal influence, procured him situations elsewhere, but between the mother's weakness and the young man's confirmed habits of idleness, it always ended by Gus saying to his employers: "I'm going of on a little trip by-by," at which they gave a sigh of relief.
"Somebody is offering to buy them. There was an advertisement in the paper this morning. Cutty?" "Yes." "The first problem in arithmetic is two and two make four. By-by!" Dizzily Cutty hung up the receiver. He had not reckoned on the possibility of Kitty seeing that damfool advertisement. Two and two made four; and four and four made eight; so on indefinitely.
"By-by!" said Westcott to Albert, as he went out, and young Charlton went out another door, and strode off toward Diamond Lake. On the high knoll overlooking the lake he stopped and looked away to the east, where the darkness was slowly gathering over the prairie. Night never looks so strange as when it creeps over a prairie, seeming to rise, like a shadowy Old Man of the Sea, out of the grass.
On the very day of our final rupture she starts a flirtation with another man an absolute stranger." On an impulse he gave her a soft nudge with his shoulder and waved his head suggestively toward the hall, making it clear that he desired her to leave her partner and accompany him. Betty seemed quite willing. "By-by, Bobby," she called laughingly to her partner. "This old camel's got me.
The strong man full of care the sick man full of pain the little maiden sobbing for her faithless lover like children we lay our aching heads on your white bosom, and you gently soothe us off to by-by. Our trouble is sore indeed when you turn away and will not comfort us. How long the dawn seems coming when we cannot sleep!
But the girls were too eager about their own concerns to care much about me, and even on the very last day and at the very last moment, when everything was bustle and joy, and boxes were being carried downstairs, and everybody was kissing everybody else and wishing each other a Happy Christmas, and then flying away like mad things, and I alone was being left, Alma herself, before she stepped into a carriage in which a stout lady wearing furs was waiting to receive her, only said: "By-by, Margaret Mary!
It'll be time for by-by when I get to Kennington. Nancy was undisturbed by the promotion of Mary Woodruff. A short time ago it would have offended her; she would have thought her dignity, her social prospects, imperilled. She was now careless on that score, and felt it a relief to cast off the show of domestic authority. Henceforth her position would be like that of Horace.
"Good as gold, then!" their pilot said. "We'll go to it. By-by, Polly!" She marched into the basement. Bess would never have dared proceed that far had it not been for Nan's presence. A woman with straggling gray hair met them at the door of the long dining-room.
Haughton; "by-by; remember me." "Could a man do otherwise? Pleasant trip; goodbye." And the iron horse is off, leaving the man about town who plays his cards with a winning hand, alone on the platform. "I shall hasten back to the hotel, they may not yet have left;" meaning by 'they, Lady Esmondet and Vaura. "It will look quite natural to see them, and say the others are safely away."
You see I am very comfortably settled in my big by-by and I do not want to have any ink-stains. The fire sparkles on the hearth, the street is silent; let us forget that George will not return till midnight, and turn back to the past. I can not recall the first month of that dear past without laughing and weeping at one and the same time. How foolish we were! How sweet it was!
