"It is perfect," Noyes said. "I'd be a pretty poor sport if I did not acknowledge that." Then his voice dropped and Cake only caught snatches here and there. "... such genius ... once in a century ... get even with him in a way he least expects ... wipe off the slate entirely ... no comeback to my play ... let him see that for himself. Call Meier." Then he turned to Cake.
We'll forget profits for a year or so, lay off the men, and just keep the engineer force on and the pumping going." "I threw that into Arranzo," Jeremy Braxton's voice boomed. "And what was his comeback? That if we laid off the peons, he'd see to it that the engineers laid off, too, and the mine could flood and be damned to us. No, he didn't say that last.
"All right," I said; "I'll tell him, and then comeback with the men." And away I went back through the heavy sand at racing pace, and delivered my message. The captain listened patiently to my breathless and somewhat disconnected story, and then turned to Mr Purchase, who was standing close at hand, and said
"Nonsense, child," said Lady Margaret, "you do seem tired. Mrs. Dalton and Falkland shall go to the rock, and I will stay here with you." "Nobody will run away with me; and I can very easily amuse myself with picking up shells till you comeback." After along remonstrance, which produced no effect, this plan was at last acceded to.
Comeback and get it. I meant Lady Joan. And I says, `Good Lord, man, you're acting like a fellow in a play. That place doesn't belong to me. It belongs to you. If it was mine, fair and square, Little Willie'd hang on to it. There'd be no noble sacrifice in his. You get a brace on."
Here she became altogether reckless, which she regretted afterwards, for she knew, after all, what was due herself. "He will comeback, I suppose?" Lady Haldwell was no coward, else she had hesitated before speaking in that way before this woman, in whose blood was the wildness of the heroical North. Perhaps she guessed the passion in Lali's breast, perhaps not.
Here are a set of fellows who arm themselves with whips and stand in the public thoroughfare to make any man of real genius run the gauntlet down their ranks till he comes out flayed at the other extremity! What constitutes their right to be there? You won't mind, of course it's bread to him, poor devil! I doubt whether I shall see you when you comeback, so write a jolly lot of letters.
I suppose I became dazzled by it all, the attention, the new scenes, the many men I met. I've no doubt I behaved very silly. But now well, I have realized all my social ambitions. Now I am devoting my life to the memory of my sainted husband, to charity, to our dear church." I gawps curious over at J. Bayard to see what comeback he has to this dose of mush, and finds him starin' foolish at her.
Robert Ellins just told me of what an important day it was in the lives of you two charming young people, so I came right over to congratulate you. And here I discover you all together in your beautiful little home, proud father and all. How fortunate!" As she's beamin' straight at me I has to give her some comeback.
Maynard at the sight of the trouble in Grace's face. "I shall ask to drive with you," she returned. "Mr. Libby, do you know where Corbitant is?" "Oh, yes." "And will you drive me there?" "Why, certainly!" he cried, in polite wonder. "Thank you." She turned half round, and cast a woman's look at the other women. "I shall be ready in half an hour. Will you go away, and comeback then? Not sooner."
