"Zo will amuse you, I'm sure." Zo seconded the invitation by hiding the stick, and laying hold again on her big friend's coattails. He let the child drag him into the room, without noticing her. The silent questioning of his eyes had been again directed to Carmina, at the moment when she smiled.
High over the pines hung a cliff, blackening the water all around with fathomless shadow. A waiter came lounging by, his hands tucked beneath his coattails. "What point is that? The one which overhangs the pines there?" asked Rex. "Gracious sir!" said the waiter, "that is the Schicksalfels." "Why `Schicksal-fels'?" "Has the gracious gentleman never heard the legend of the `Rock of Fate'?"
"That settles it," Hymie cried, jumping to his feet and jamming his hat down with both hands. "Where you going, Hymie?" Abe called after him. "For a policeman," Hymie said. "I want them diamonds and I'm going to have 'em, too." Morris ran to the store door and grabbed Hymie by the coattails. "Wait a minute," he yelled. "Hymie, I'm surprised at you that you should act that way."
I've nothing to say against the other fellow, except that I don't understand his point of view. Mr. Horrocks I do understand. He's out to do himself a bit o'good and it's up to you to help him." A determined tug at Mr. Bundercombe's coattails by one of the men on the platform brought him to his seat amid loud bursts of laughter and more cheers. Eve gripped my arm and we turned slowly away.
And all for nothing but that he found himself at dinner with more cloth in the tail of his coat than there was in the coattails of his neighbors, and that he wore an expensive black cravat while all the rest of the world had on ghostly white linen ties that cost but a dime or two apiece. Of course Millard exaggerated the importance of his mistake.
Furthermore, Mac Tavish, undaunted, promptly dared to exchange growls with "Old Dog Tray," himself. The latter, none else than His Excellency, Lawrence North, Governor of the state, marched toward the wicket, wagging his tail, but the wagging was not a display of amiability. The politicians called North "Old Dog Tray" because his permanent limp caused his coattails to sway when he walked.
And while I am watching the birds, they are watching me. Not a little fop among them, having proposed and been accepted, but perches on a limb, and has the air of putting his hands mannishly under his coattails and crying out at me, "Hello! Adam, what were you made for?" "You attend to your business, and I'll attend to mine," I answer. "You have one May; I have twenty-five!"
I wish you would keep your eye open for a nice, respectable woman who could help me, now that I have so many dinners to serve to the trolley men." "I sho' will an', Miss Judy, I'm wonderin' if you ain't got a little bitser blue cloth what I mought patch my pants with. If my coattails wa'n't so long I wouldn't be fitten ter go 'mongst folks."
If I did, I should hang on to your coattails like fury and keep you in dreamland, whether you wanted to wake up or not." "It's all too good to be true! How dare you be so beautiful?" "John" "It's gospel truth!" Barclay paused for a moment, and then went on more seriously. "You're tired, littlest and most lovely in the world, and troubled about something."
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.
