Behind a door, in the crumby part of the night when wine-glasses were to be found in unexpected spots, I spoke to Her spoke out to Her. What passed, I cannot as a man of honour reveal. Anybody's long-lost brother will do ill to turn up on a birthday.
"Crumby? It's simply gorgeous! Everyone is mad over it. Most tourists simply read about it, and it is too perfect luck to be invited! Only the English who have been presented at court are invited and there's a girl at the Savoy Hotel I've met Lady Claire Montfort who wasn't presented because she was in mourning for her grandmother last year, and she is simply furious about it.
His teeming brain took in raw suggestions and threw off the completed product in the form of epigrams, phrases, orphics, symbols. To have caught these crumbs of truth that fell from the rich man's table might have placed many a penny-a-liner beyond the reach of mental avarice. One man, indeed, swept up the crumbs into a book that is not half crumby.
You might remember this is Massachusetts, not New York." "Well, this Massachusetts lettuce I'm perfectly convinced that they used it for floor-rags before they went and lost it in the sandwiches and this thick crumby bread oh, it's unspeakable. I do wish you wouldn't poke around in these horrid places, mama, or else leave me in the car when you are moved to go slumming.
The good mother came upstairs carrying Dick, who had been solaced with unaccustomed supper of bread and treacle he was sticky and crumby with it hours afterwards when Paul still lay crying and she gave Paul such a hiding for his heartless wickedness as he had never had in all his days till then.
But the little, clay-bespattered Italians were still sleeping, the slatternly women across the aisle were in open-mouthed oblivion, and even the crumby, crying babies were for the nonce stilled. Paul settled back to struggle with his impatience as best he could. When he arrived at the Jersey City station, he hurried through his breakfast, manifestly ill at ease and keeping a sharp eye about him.
When d'Urberville got back to the tent he sat down astride on a chair, reflecting, with a pleased gleam in his face. Then he broke into a loud laugh. "Well, I'm damned! What a funny thing! Ha-ha-ha! And what a crumby girl!" Tess went down the hill to Trantridge Cross, and inattentively waited to take her seat in the van returning from Chaseborough to Shaston.
Rachel sitting gorgeous on the Chesterfield amid an enormous twilit welter and litter of disarranged chairs and tables; empty teapots, cups, jugs, and glasses; dishes of fragmentary remains of cake and chocolate; plates smeared with roseate ham, sticky teaspoons, loaded ash-trays, and a large general crumby mess Rachel, the downright, the contemner of silly social prejudices and all nonsense, was actually puffed up because she had a servant in a cap and because automobiles had deposited elegant girls at her door and whirled them off again.
Refreshed and very crumby, they were starting out again when Hannah laid a detaining hand on Jan's arm: "Could you speak a minute, Miss Jan?" The children and Meg gone, Hannah led the way into the kitchen with an air of great mystery; but she did not shut the doors, as Anne Chitt was busy upstairs. "What is it, Hannah?"
A monstrous greasy cook peered forth, shoving out a plate of fried eggs and echoing huskily: "Ham and!" "Corn-beef-an'-cabbage!" "One harf-an'-harf!" "Make a sunstroke on the hash!" and other pleasing chants of the noon. "What'll yer have?" A thin and nervous young woman swooped between them and mopped off the sloppy, crumby table with her apron. "What's good?" asked Joe.
