"The cold is extreme," he went on in his copybook English by way of explaining these physical symptoms which he saw I had observed. "Mr. But I was not brought up to the trade and take it otherwise. Indeed I wish I was back at the Cape, yes, even within the whitewashed walls of the Place of Detention." "So do I," I muttered, keeping my right foot on the ground with difficulty.
"The value of a sum lies in the answer," he said, quoting one of those copybook proverbs with which all Syrians love to clinch an argument. "The letter is in its owner's pocket. The accuser should now apologize, and we can spend the rest of the journey pleasantly." Jeremy proceeded to apologize: "So you're not such a thief as you looks." Then he provided entertainment.
23rd. Up by four o'clock, and so to my office; but before I went out, calling, as I have of late done, for my boy's copybook, I found that he had not done his task; so I beat him, and then went up to fetch my rope's end, but before I got down the boy was gone. I searched the cellar with a candle, and from top to bottom could not find him high nor low.
Inside of each of 'em was another envelope, slick and smooth as a mack'rel's back, and inside of THAT was a letter, printed, but looking like the kind of writing that used to be in the copybook at school.
"Or are you resolved to preach copybook moralities at me, such as 'Be good and you will be happy?" Vesey, more ceremoniously known as Sir Francis Vesey, one of the most renowned of London's great leading solicitors, looked at him and laughed. "Talk out, my dear fellow, by all means!" he replied. "Especially if it will do you any good.
Jane Macalister was always spoken to in this correct fashion during school hours. "I say, there's a visitor!" burst from the eager lips of the little boy. He started to his feet as he spoke, upsetting the ink-pot over his own copybook and also over Kitty's white-frilled pinafore. "Boris, you are incorrigible!" exclaimed Jane.
Strictly considered, the house was not very much to brag about, perhaps; for it slanted this way and that like the first pothooks in a child's copybook; but Garth, fired by Natalie's enthusiastic praises, could not have been prouder if he had completed the Taj Mahal. One end had been partitioned off for Natalie's room; and in finishing this part Garth had spent all his pains.
This is the fatal condition of his love: apparently a characteristic of amorous dukes. We read them in the signs extended to us. The minds of these august and solitary men have not yet been sounded; they are too distant. Standing upon their lofty pinnacles, they are as legible to the rabble below as a line of cuneiform writing in a page of old copybook roundhand.
How did it agree with what he had said at Markelov's? He thrust the copybook into the table drawer and went back to bed. But he did not fall asleep until dawn, when the larks had already begun to twitter and the sky was turning paler.
Amid the uproar of the Assembly he affected to write at considerable length in a copybook, to dry the ink by sprinkling powder upon it, and with great deliberation to pour the powder back into the powder-box, thus finding means to increase the tumult with his calmness. When M. Barthelemy Saint Hilaire descended from the tribune, Cavaignac had only been attacked.
