I should recommend the blue with the red domino pattern, sir." Then he streamed imperceptibly toward the door and flowed silently out. I've often heard that chappies, after some great shock or loss, have a habit, after they've been on the floor for a while wondering what hit them, of picking themselves up and piecing themselves together, and sort of taking a whirl at beginning a new life.
You take my tip, old soul, and pop back on the next boat." "Which line?" "How do you mean, which line? Oh, I see, you mean which line? Well . . . well . . . I've never been on any of them, so it's rather hard to say. But I hear the Cunard well spoken of, and then again some chappies swear by the White Star. But I should imagine you can't go far wrong, whichever you pick.
He's the Ward McAllister of Kay-See, the model of the chappies, and traces his haughty lineage back in an unbroken line to the primordial anthropoid swinging by his prehensile tail to a limb of the Ash tree Ygdrasyl and playfully scratching the back of the hungry behemoth with the jawbone of an erstwhile ichthyosaurian.
I always used to think that publishers had to be devilish intelligent fellows, loaded down with the grey matter; but I've got their number now. All a publisher has to do is to write cheques at intervals, while a lot of deserving and industrious chappies rally round and do the real work. I know, because I've been one myself.
Freddie was eyeing him admiringly. "You know," he said, "I've always wanted to meet a detective. What beats me is how you chappies find out things." "We have our methods." "I believe you. You're a blooming marvel! What first put you on my track?" "That," said Ashe, "would take too long to explain.
Chappies would rot him about it to the most fearful extent. Old Brewster's name would come into it, and he could not disguise it from himself that his father-in-law, who liked his name in the papers as little as possible, would be sorer than a sunburned neck. "No, I say, you know! I mean, I mean to say!" "Pinched!" repeated the rather larger policeman.
By the way, Stanninghame, you're the sort a fellow can tell anything to; you don't start a lot of cheap blatant chaff as some chappies do when you want them to talk sound sense." There was a great deal underlying the remark, also the tone.
"So far as you are concerned the matter is simple enough; you are a doctor, and when once these chappies have had an example of your skill in that line I expect they'll find you plenty to do. But what can I do? Absolutely nothing useful! I can ride, shoot, sail a yacht passably " "Stop!" cried Dick impulsively. "Ask these ancients whether they know what sails are.
"I'm inspecting them narrowly," replied Archie. "If you don't let those chappies find me, I shouldn't be surprised if I bought one." "One?" said the proprietor, with a touch of austerity. "Two," said Archie, quickly. "Or possibly three or six." The proprietor's cordiality returned. "You can't have too many nice suits," he said, approvingly, "not a young feller like you that wants to look nice.
A fellow who's subject to cramps and chills has no business in the water, but if you start to go in swimming, go in all over. Don't be one of those chappies who prance along the beach, shivering and showing their skinny shapes, and then dabble their feet in the surf, pour a little sand in their hair, and think they've had a bath.
