Howells's 'Undiscovered Country, and had adopted the Shakers' paraphrase for love: 'Feeling foolish. 'Feeling pretty foolish to-day, air ye, gentlemen? she inquired, mimicking the dialect of Chalks. 'Well, I guess you just ain't feeling any more foolish than you look. If she would but have taken us seriously! And the worst of it was that we knew she was anything but temperamentally cold.
Once they were in the open road, and well away from The Hollies, Robinson ventured to open his mouth. "He's a clever one is Mr. Grant," he said meaningly. "You handled him a bit of all right, sir, but he didn't tell you everything he knew, not by long chalks." The superintendent walked a few yards in silence. Even when he spoke, his gaze was introspective, and seemed to ignore his companion.
Each of 'em had a bottle of iced wine, he said; and he said they topped off with coffee that only wanted milk to make it a real wonder, and a drink like rock-and-rye, but chalks better, and such seegars as he'd never smoked in his born days. But it wasn't none of Wood's business to stop a director's nephew from blowing if he felt like it, and so he just let him fan away.
A pretty considerable sum I tell you but its no use to give you the CHALKS, if you can't keep the TALLIES. Now we will lay down the schoolmaster's assistant, and take up another book every bit and grain as good as that, although these folks affect to sneer at it I mean human natur.
He was thoroughly pleased with his opening sentence. "It did not occur to me," Burton replied, "that there was any possibility of misunderstanding anything you or Professor Cowper said. Still, it is very kind of you to come and see me." Alfred, who was drawing in colored chalks at the other end of the room, rose up and approached his father.
Then suddenly a thought struck some one I will not say who and that some one said "She ought to let lodgings, like all the other people do in Lymchurch." That was the beginning of it. The end for that day was our getting the top of a cardboard box and printing on it the following lines in as many different coloured chalks as we happened to have with us.
The chief that should be found in the cupboards, round the walls, or scattered about the room, are bricks of all sizes and shapes, skittles, balls and bats or rackets, hoops, reins, spades and other garden tools; pails and patty pans for the sand-heap; pipes for bubbles, shells, fir-cones, buttons, acorns, and any collection of small articles for handling; all kinds of vehicles that can be pushed, such as carts, barrows, prams, engines; drums and other musical instruments; materials for construction and expression, such as chalks, boards, paints and paper.
Our conversation had brought us to a crowd of people, the greater part struggling for a front place from which to see something on the pavement, which proved to be various designs executed in coloured chalks on the pavement stones, lighted by two candles stuck in mud sconces. All these subjects appeared to me to be exquisitely done.
'If he were only an ass, Chalks urged, 'one might feel disposed to spare him. A merciful man is merciful to a beast. But he's such a cad, to boot bandying his wife's name about the Latin Quarter, telling Tom, Dick, and Harry of their conjugal differences, and boasting of his successes with other women! A few of us, however, could not prevent an element of pity from tincturing our amusement.
Since it is the work of infinite knowledge and justice it will have regard to all the facts of our life. God looks not only at the narrow present, but back into the past, and forward into the future. He marks the trend of the life, the bent and bias of the soul. He chalks down no line saying, "Reach this or you are undone for ever."
