"I'll warrant!" she sneered; and before Dick could find more to say, she was gone from the room. Esther returned with the tea-things, and sat down. "Now," she said cosily, "tell me all about my father." "He" stammered Dick, "he is a very agreeable companion." "I shall begin to think it is more than you are, Mr. Naseby," she said, with a laugh. "I am his daughter, you forget.
"Yes," said Elsie, settling cosily against her mother's shoulder. "I always know when mammy speaks as my official mother, and when she is talking 'straight talk. I shall be so happy when she believes I am old enough to hear only straight talk." "I've got a surprise for you, Elsie," said Mrs. Valentin, a day and a night eastward of the Sierras.
This latter building was made of corrugated iron, on piles, with windows and a door in the south end looking directly out upon the water only a few feet away, and was fitted cosily enough for the summer, but not intended for anything further except storage purposes.
Here, as a rule, everybody possesses something, and the working watchmakers have, most of them, their suburban gardens, to which they resort on Sundays and holidays. Besancon is very rich in suburban retreats, and nothing can be more enticing than the cottages and villas nestled so cosily along the vine-clad hills that surround it on every side.
Hignett incredulously. Jane Hubbard returned from the drawing-room, where she had been switching off the orchestrion. "Let us talk all that over cosily to-morrow," she said. "The point now is that there are burglars in the house." "Burglars!" cried Mr. Bennett aghast. "I thought it was you playing that infernal instrument, Mortimer."
"Oh," said Flamby breathlessly. "I hope he won't mind me laughing at him." "I am sure he won't. He is a genial soul and generally liked in spite of his spirituous aroma. Now for the Aunt." They walked around two angles of the gallery and entered a large room the windows of which overlooked the front lawn. It was furnished cosily as a library, and a cheerful fire burned in the big open grate.
Julian was growing drowsy in his struggles against the current of fortune. Hadn't he better give in, and let himself be carried down? Almost before he knew it, he was lying on the sofa in his study where the lamp with the red shade was burning so cosily. Likely enough his eye caught a quaint ornament on his study table at the juncture the figure of the Serpent on the Cross.
"Let's have a smoke," he suggested cosily. They lit up. Sam's pipe, however, went out immediately. "I suppose you think I'm crazy," he said deprecatingly. "Oh, I've been young myself," replied Ed. "If you don't mind I want to talk about it," said Sam. "It's driving me crazy!" "Fire away," assented Ed. "Is it a woman?" "Yes," replied Sam. "How did you know?" Ed smiled to himself.
It was a dark, cold, windy, October night, and the two warders sate cosily by the fire, enjoying their gossip and their ale, while the unlucky delinquent placed himself pensively by the window. About midnight the two old men were startled by his flinging open the casement. "Miss Phoebe! look! look!" "What? where?" inquired Daniel.
When he went off she howled like a hungry baby, and had to be switched before she would give any one a night's sleep. When Cecil got over on his Kansas place he fitted up the shack as cosily as he could, and learned how to fry bacon and make soda biscuits. Incidentally, he did farming, and sunk a heap of money, finding out how not to do things.
