Without the Chinese cooly, the tobacco planter is helpless, and if the proper season is allowed to pass, a whole year may be lost. The Chinaman is too expensive a machine to be employed on felling the forest, and for this purpose, indeed, the Malay is more suitable and the work is accordingly given him to do under contract.
"Is it you, then, who are the lord?" said the Skeleton, thrusting his hideous head into the carriage. At this insolence, Rudolph would have given way to the natural violence of his charcter, had it not been for the presence of his daughter; but he restrained himself, and answered cooly, "What do you want? Why do you stop my carriage?"
"If it be her Majesty the Queen that you fear to name, Mr. Secretary," interrupted the King, "it is but vain to fence. Do your duty, as you have ever done." "With your Majesty's leave, I will name no one, save it be one Mr. Cooly, Secretary to the Lord Jermyn, whom your Majesty, doubtless, graciously recollects.
But the man of course did not move or stand up with his pingo. Seeing this, the elephant again raised the cooly and dashed him against the ground, and then trampled the body to a very jelly. He did the same with all the other pingoes. When this was over the elephant quietly walked away into the jungle, trumpeting all the way as far as I could hear.
This, perhaps the longest and most elaborate eclogue ever written, describes how the Shepherd of the Ocean, that is Raleigh, induced Colin Clout, who as before represents Spenser, to leave his rustic retreat in the cooly shade Of the greene alders by the Mallaes shore, and try his fortune at the court of the great shepherdess Cynthia, and how he ultimately returned to Ireland.
"There is," Inez answered, turning from the window, and facing her aunt. "The servants suspect me." "Inez!" "Their case isn't a bad one as they make it out," pursued Miss Catheron, cooly. "There was ill blood between us. It is of no use denying it. I hated her with my whole heart. I was the last person seen coming out of the room, fifteen minutes before they found her dead.
Then Burns began again, in a very low and quiet tone: "Have you anything against her, Cooly?" The man before him, who was still standing, turned upon him. "How can you ask me such a question?" he said fiercely. "It's a question that has to be asked, just to get it out of the way. Has she anything against you?" "For heaven's sake no! You know us both." "I thought I did.
They're on the look-out. D'ye hear, Grishka?" "What then?" queried Chelkash, cooly measuring him with his eyes. "How 'what then? They're on the look-out, I say. That's all." "Did they ask for me to help them look?" And with an acrid smile Chelkash looked toward the storehouse of the Volunteer Fleet. "You go to the devil!" His companion turned away. "Ha, wait a bit!
In a few yards they were off the causeway; the coach, striking deep water, settled like a boat, and turned over on its side, with the leaders swimming for their lives. As for the wheelers, they were pulled down with the vehicle, and were almost drowning in their harness. Cool as a cucumber, Blake had turned to the girl. "Can you swim?" he said. And she answered him as cooly, "Yes, a little."
"I don't really mean to be, but the only way I can find out the things I need to know is to ask straight questions. I never could stand circumlocution. If you want that, Cooly; if you want what are called 'tactful' methods, you'll have to go to some other man.
