At the relay station we waited an hour for the moon, after which it was a clear track. We reached the half-way ranch about eleven, and while changing the stage horses I roused Mrs. Klostermeyer, and succeeded in getting enough cold mutton and bread to make two rather decent-looking sandwiches.
They alighted without mishap and Johnny hired a decent-looking Mexican to watch the plane and protect it from curious meddlers while he and Bland went into town and ate their fill, and bought gas and oil to be delivered immediately.
He did not think of going to a hotel that charged more than seventy-five cents for a room. He came at length to quite a decent-looking place, which advertised rooms for fifty cents and upwards. He registered under the clerk's calm misprision, and the brown and wonderfully freckled colored boy showed him to his room.
Another time a pair went by on the way to the railway station: a young man carrying an umbrella under his arm, and a very decent-looking old woman lugging a heavy carpet bag, who left them to the lasting question whether she was the young man's servant in her best clothes, or merely his mother.
"Are those people from Ireland?" said I to a decent-looking man, seemingly a mechanic, who stood near me, and was also looking at them, but with anything but admiration. "I am sorry to say they are, sir;" said the man, who from his accent was evidently an Irishman, "for they are a disgrace to their country." I did not exactly think so.
"And yet," said Holcombe, after the first half-hour had passed, "there must be a few agreeable people here. I am sure I saw some very nice-looking women to-day coming in from the fox-hunt. And very well gotten up, too, in Karki habits. And the men were handsome, decent-looking chaps Englishmen, I think." "Who does he mean? Were you at the meet to-day?" asked Carroll.
He was lying in a tent, and there was a little group of troopers at the door, smoking. They thought he was asleep. He heard Emslie say: "Doane looks like a decent-enough head, doesn't he? Shows you never can tell." "The worst criminals are always a decent-looking sort," said another. "That's why they're dangerous."
Smith was decently dressed in sober tweed and looked like a man of no account, who was mechanically devoted to his employer's interests, pleasures, or whims. The boss was a decent-looking young fellow, with a good face rather solemn and a quiet manner. "Good day, sir," said Steelman. "Good day, sir," said the boss. "Nice weather this." "Yes, it is, but I'm afraid it won't last."
He looks worth a vote. He's nice and thin, and speaks beautifully without shouting and roaring, not like these old beer-swipers who buy their votes with drink." "He is a decent-looking fellow," said Eweword. "Oh, well, he'll go in then; that's all the women will care about," said Uncle Jake in one of his half-audible sneers.
"You're going to put up on the Island?" "Yes; but what business is it o' a decent-looking cove like youse, I'd like to know." "Well, it's this way: we've got to get this man back to New York to-night; it's the boat's last trip and there ain't a chance of getting a cab or hack in this blizzard, and at this time of night, to get him up from the ferry.
