"He is, sir," said Wade. "He asked me to wait here until you arrived and then to go upstairs for a little while, sir. I fancy he has something to say to you in private." Which was a naïve way of explaining that Mr. Thorpe did not want him to have his ear cocked in the hall during the conversation that was to be resumed after an advisable interval.
Wide his nose, narrowly-slit his eyes, and with little teeth he smiles at us through a beard of bright russet a beard soft as the russet coat of a squirrel, and sprouting in several tiers according to the several chins that ascend behind it from his chest. Nude he is but for a few dark twists of drapery. One dimpled foot is tucked under him, the other cocked before him.
I see, faintly, down the dim vista of the Past, an agreeable figure, like myself, with a cocked hat under its arm, black tights on its lightly tripping legs, a rosette in its buttonhole, and an engaging smile on its face, walking from end to end of the room, in the character of Master of the Ceremonies.
"All I want is a story of your flight across country. You're mistaken if you think I'm guilty of " "Oh, well, if that's all you want. But I'm just about off reporters for life. You'll have to do some apologizing, believe me!" Johnny was sprawled on the nice, white bed, with his boot heels cocked up on the expensive mahogany footboard.
The pigeon stopped, hesitated, cocked a ruby eye on the two humans on the wooden seat, and fluttered back into the sunny garden. "Why, you mind!" Elizabeth said, aghast. "Oh, it's nothing to me," David managed to say; "course, I don't care. Only I didn't know you liked Blair so much; so it was a a surprise," he said miserably. Elizabeth's consternation was beyond words.
He paused as if he had been shot and cocked his rifle, looking toward the point from whence came the noise. "Aisy there, now," he said in a solemn voice. "I won't stand any of your thricks. I'm savage, and when I'm that way I'm dangerous, so if yees are there spake out, or else come out like a man, and tell me your name, be the token of which mine is Mickey O'Rooney from Ireland."
I had Cambronne clutching his cocked hat and uttering the immortal la Garde meurt et ne se rend pas. I had the "Vengeur" going down, and all the crew hurraying like madmen. What man who has been before the public at all has not heard similar wonderful anecdotes regarding himself and his own history? In these humble essaykins I have taken leave to egotize.
When not gazing on the horizon, expecting yet fearing the appearance of a sail, he passed much of his time in reading. On the evening of which we write he had beguiled some time with Carteret, when a slight sound was heard outside the cavern. Starting up with the nervous susceptibility induced by a guilty conscience, he seized his musket and cocked it.
T. A. Buck advanced to where she stood and cocked his head too, judicially, and in the opposite direction to which Emma McChesney's head was cocked. So that the two heads were very close together. "It's a poor piece of glass," he announced at last. A simple enough remark.
He was sitting on a chair of brocade with silver legs in great magnificence, and across his knees he held a loaded rifle at full cock. It was a Snider, so that I could be quite sure it was cocked." Violet stared at him, not understanding. "But why?" she asked. "Well, he knew quite well that I was brought back to Kohara in order to replace him, if he didn't mend his ways and spend less money.
