Perhaps you will do us the honour of lunching with us?" "I should be delighted, but unfortunately I am lunching with a friend." "I am sorry we are not to have the pleasure," said Archibald. "But perhaps you would like a copy of my son's book. It is but a small volume, as you see." And Archibald pulled the parchment-bound, deckle-edged booklet from his outer breast pocket.
He regarded the book with intense disfavour, tore it in two, and used a handful of its fine deckle-edged leaves to get the fire going. They burned well, and presently the rest followed. Well for Dickson's peace of soul that he was not a witness of such vandalism. A little warmer but in no way more cheerful, he resumed his watch near the window.
"You always were pretty cock-sure of yourself, Poddy, even back in the days when we both worked on the old Tribune," commented Ferguson with a smirk of amusement. "But this proposition of yours is the deckle-edged limit and no mistake. If you were anybody else I'd have a lot of fun kicking you downstairs!" "Old stuff, Fergey!" grinned Podmore, unperturbed.
They knew that I was the power behind Sancho Benavides. A word from me was more to them than a whole deckle-edged library from East Aurora in sectional bookcases was from anybody else. Looking handsome. Oh, what a mistake! It's the larynx that the beauty doctors ought to work on.
This letter written with distinction and a quill pen upon beautifully embossed deckle-edged paper, which seemed to me to have a subtle perfume about it requested the pleasure of my company at luncheon with the great Sylvanus; the place his favourite club the Court, in Piccadilly. He received me with beautiful urbanity, if a thought languidly.
