"A corker." "Corker?" "I mean that you're a good-looker that it's no labor at all to gaze right at you. I didn't think they grew them so far from headquarters, but I see I'm wrong. You are certainly all right. Pardon me for saying this to you so soon after we meet, but I have learned that you will never break a woman's heart by telling her that she is a beaut."
Consequently, with nothing to distract him, Gus really did work. His standing in the Fifth sensibly increased. Merishall did not make elaborate jokes on his Latin, and Corker not once let fall the warning eye-glass preparatory to savaging him for his Greek, formerly called so by a courtesy title.
That's a corker," said the man with the rumbling voice; "there's no getting out of that;" then rising from his seat he walked to the door, opened it, and then turning his head, said, "Just come here a minute, mister, and I'll tell you how we might manage it." Barry followed him out into the passage and then upstairs into his bedroom.
They don't understand things." "No. They haven't been brought up on tabasco sauce. What can you expect of them?" They soon arrived at the Alhambra Theater at which the fight was to take place, and found it in progress. A large crowd was collected, consisting of soldiers and natives in equal proportions. The last round was just finishing, and Joe Corker was in the act of knocking his opponent out.
The fellows blankly voted for Bourne, and, as Grim would be sure to say, "the proposition was carried nem. con." That evening Corker confirmed Phil's appointment, and I spent as happy an evening as I can remember. Acton said he should not come back to St.
That fellow Buckbee is a corker. You're too honest, Jepson; you can't act the part, but Buckbee could do it to perfection. You should've been there to see him trim me, when I tried that little flier in Navajoa. Not an unkind word ever passed between us, and yet he busted me down to a dollar. He was a great fellow you ought to know him you could take a few leaves from his book.
"We get two or three of 'em every day, specially about Christmas and New Year's. Rather run down at the heel, this one, and no, come to think of it, I'm wrong she looked different. Been a corker in her time not bad now about thirty, I guess maybe younger you can't always tell. Rather slim had on a black-straw hat and some kind of a cloak."
Miss Field always, in Ward's simple vocabulary, had been a "corker." But now he gave her more than one sidewise glance as they went dipping smoothly up and down through the green lanes, and said to himself, "Gosh when she crinkles those blue eyes of hers, and her mouth sort of twitches as if she wanted to laugh, she is a beauty that's what SHE is!"
She should find them. Well, I was in that top-story summer-resort for ten days. Put there for reflection. I reflected. And on the difference between Miss Katherine and Miss Bray. But the play was a corker; it certainly was. We chose Friday night because Miss Jones always takes tea with her aunt that night, and Miss Bray goes to choir practising. I wish everybody could hear her sing!
It did not seem right to praise one woman's beauty to another. It was like praising one author's work to another, or praising another preacher's sermon to a preacher's face. Still, Jim had to admit that Kedzie was pretty. Suddenly he wanted to torment Charity, and so he exclaimed: "You're right, she is a little corker, a very pleasant dream!"
