"I was thinking of a man whom we saw at the play last night, the merchant, Adrian Van Zoon." Master Jonathan let his coattails fall from under his arms, and then he deliberately gathered them up again. "A wealthy and powerful merchant. He has ships on many seas." "I have inferred that Mr. Hardy does not like him." "Considering my words carefully, I should say that Mr. Hardy does not like Mr.
The rock had merely scraped the punt while he was listening with politeness to why the old man had "doubled up" his charge and had a church on either side of the river. And if Mr. Abbott had not risen in gentle alarm and begun to teeter around, Kenny in an interval of frantic excitement would not have been forced to fish him out of the stream by his coattails.
Admire that artful turn in the parson's eloquence! -it was worthy of Riccabocca himself. Indeed, Mr. Dale had profited much by his companionship with that Machiavellian intellect. "A marriage, yes; but Frank has only just got into coattails!" "I did not allude to Frank, but to your cousin Jemima!"
What in Halifax do I care for your divine-right-of-authors theory? I'll continue to think you guilty until you are shown to be innocent." Suddenly the full significance of the Celebrity's tactics struck Mr. Cooke, and he reached out and caught hold of Mr. Trevor's coattails. "Hold on, old man," said he; "Allen isn't going to be ass enough to own up to it.
Instead of being on his sleeves they were at the extreme southern exposure of his coattails; I presume an Austrian officer acquires merit by sitting down. This particular officer's saber kept jingling, and so did his spurs, and so did his bracelet. I almost forgot the bracelet.
Flint's coattails. "Leggo!" "Quit ouch e-e-e-e-e! That's right; give it to him! Cora go to it e-e-e-e-e " Lips lifted to belie a sinkage of heart, Miss Schump, left standing, backed finally, sinking down to one of the camp-chairs against the wall. The little glittering mustache had come out again, and, sitting there, her smile so insistently lifted, the pink pearls at her throat rose and fell.
This was apparent in the rise and fall of Breen's heels, as he seesawed back and forth on the hearth-rug in the satin-lined drawing-room, with his coattails spread to the life less grate, and from the way he glanced nervously at the mirror to see that his cravat was properly tied and that his collar did not ride up in the back. The only calm person in the house was the ex-widow.
"It does mine too," admitted Frank, "and if it hadn't been for Russia quitting, we'd be looking now at the coattails of the Kaiser's generals as they scooted back to Berlin. But that's a bit of hard luck that we can't help. Russia's back-down has taken ten million soldiers from the Allies' strength. But America will make that all up in time and then you'll see us doing the chasing."
Never, in the history of Beagle and Company, had there been a floorwalker who threw so much passion and zeal into his task. The very hang of his coattails, even the erect carriage of his back, the rubbery way in which his feet trod the aisles, showed his sense of dignity and glamour. There seemed to be a great tradition which enriched and upheld him. Mr.
He was so overcome with gratitude that it seemed as if his very coattails wagged with his emotion. "Take it quietly," said Master Gridley. "Don't make a fool of yourself. Tell your mother to have some clean shirts and things ready for you, and we will be off day after to-morrow morning."
