"Neither did I when you and I breakfasted together. I got an unexpected offer of a very decent position abroad this morning; a kind of agency, that will be much better than the hand-to-mouth business I've been doing lately." "What kind of agency, and where?" "Well, so far as I can make out at present, it is something in the steam navigation way. My head-quarters will be at Rouen." "Rouen!
I'm glad to hear Doctor Atwater say Miss Worthington has some plans for their future. "As for the boy, your own design is a wise one. Transport him out West, give him a fair start in some Pacific State in a decent business, and then if he goes wrong, after his severe lesson, let him run up against a smart punishment."
Get her a situation. When your husband is strong again and goes to work, then set the girl up with some decent clothes, and we will find her a little place." "She wants a little place," said Mrs. Mitchell; "but there's no place hereabouts. Our clergyman says he has nine thousand people in his parish, all so poor that his own house is the only one where there is a servant kept."
'Stay, stay! said Grace Hickson all the decent family shame which prompted her to conceal the mysterious misfortune of her only son from public knowledge done away with by the sense of the immediate danger to his life. 'Touch him not. He knows not what he is saying. The fit is upon him. I tell you the truth before God. My son, my only son, is mad. They stood aghast at the intelligence.
Decent climate. Passable food. You could pick up a woodcock or two. He was accustomed to solitude anyhow, all his old friends being dead or buried, or scattered about the world. He had tried England for a couple of years and discovered that people there did not like being ordered about as they should be; they seemed to mind it less, at Olevano.
But no child of mine walks the streets of Onabasha looking like a play-actress woman. You wet your hair and comb it down modest and decent and then be off, or you'll have no time to find where you belong." Elnora gave one despairing glance at the white face, framed in a most becoming riot of reddish-brown hair, which she saw in the little kitchen mirror.
I wanted to give him something to show my own personal gratitude for what he and his wife have done for me. Lord! It took a month's salary. I know it's a jay present, but there's nothing decent in these shops." "Look here! I've wanted to say something to you for some time, though it's deuced hard to speak of such things.
"Well, that will be a shilling more than I expect," said I: and Ephraim went off laughing. I asked Miss Newton, as she seemed to know him, who Mr Raymond was. She says he is the lecturer at Saint Helen's, and might have been a decent man if that horrid creature Mr Wesley had not got hold of him. "Oh, do you know anything about Mr Wesley, or Mr Whitefield?" cried I. "Are they in London now?"
If I don't gamble I'm left alone; if I don't flirt I'm isolated. If one stands aloof from everything one's friends go elsewhere. What can I do?" "Make decent friends. I'm going to." He bent forward and struck his knee with his closed fist. "I'm going to," he repeated. "I've waited as long as I can for you to stand by me.
The northeast gale that sprang up next day put a temporary stop to these activities and gave Job an opportunity to get himself some decent clothes and hobnob a while with his friend the Swede. The whole waterfront was agog with the news of the kidnapping, and everywhere the tall New Englander went he was surrounded by a knot of questioning seamen.
