If more had been needed to show the Beanish lowness, it would have come after the first supper, for Gramper and Grammer sat out on a little vine-covered porch and smoked cob-pipes which they refilled at intervals from a sack of tobacco passed companionably back and forth.
All the time the hearty wind was calling to me companionably from where he swung and bellowed in the tree-tops. "Take me for guide to-day," he seemed to plead. "Other holidays you have tramped it in the track of the stolid, unswerving sun; a belated truant, you have dragged a weary foot homeward with only a pale, expressionless moon for company. To-day why not I, the trickster, the hypocrite?
King Richard, strangely enough, had taken a liking for Amos Blank, who was frequently asked to join the small and somewhat exclusive circle of compatriots that continually surrounded the fallen monarch. The billionaire and the king often leaned elbow to elbow over the rail, and put their heads companionably together while pointing out some object on the sea.
William's suffering eyes were fixed upon remoteness; and his lips moved, now and then, like a martyr's, pronouncing inaudibly a sacred word. "Milady! Oh, Milady!" Thus they had covered some three blocks of their journey the too-democratic Genesis chatting companionably and William burning with mortification when the former broke into loud laughter. "What I tell you?" he cried, pointing ahead.
No; but owing to the great difference in their ages he felt that he could talk to her as he could talk to nobody else. For he was in no intimate relation with any other woman so much older than himself. And to young women somehow one can never talk so freely, so companionably. Even in these modern days sex gets in the way. Craven told himself that as he folded up Lady Sellingworth's letter.
Groups of trades-people shudder companionably over the vague terrors of the Atlantic, and chatter over the probabilities of the adventurers' return with untold wealth. Excited women-bareheaded likely-gaze again upon the strong, controlled face of Columbus, and thank God for this missionary to the Grand Khan-only the dark sea will surely be his destruction before he gets there!
"Well...." he said companionably, and lolled against a pillar. "You've done well at tea in the way of visitors," I remarked. "Six, wasn't it?" "Yes," he said, "and now I've got rid of 'em all, except one." "Where's the one?" "In there." He pointed with his pipe to the empty Mess-Room. "He's the father of a subaltern of mine who was killed." "He's come to talk to you about it?" "Yes."
I should have died on the scaffold but for that angel. I insist on it that he is not a man. He is an angel!" "People say there is no difference between us," he went on, drawing his chair companionably close to mine. "Ah, people are so shallow! Personally, I grant you, we are exactly alike. Nugent is a genius. I should have died if he hadn't taken care of me after the trial. I had nobody but him.
"They say that's quite a girl old Y.D.'s got." "Oh," said Linder, slowly. The occasion of the soreness in that Pete-horse's off front foot was becoming apparent. "You better stick to Pete," Linder continued. "Women is most uncertain critters." "Don't I know it?" chuckled George, poking the foreman's ribs companionably with his elbow.
To Steve Packard, riding to meet the sun and to keep his promise to the lumber boss, the world just now was an exceedingly bright and lovely place; in this hour of a leaping optimism he could even picture Terry Temple in a companionably laughing mood.
