"Everybody else who designs costumes, just draws them; dinky little water-colored plates, and the plates are sent out to a company like The Star Costume Company, and they execute them. But Rose can't draw a bit. She got a manikin not an ordinary dressmaker's form, but a regular painter's manikin with legs, and made her costumes on the thing; or at least cut out a sort of pattern of them in cloth.
The idea of a man's paying thirty thousand dollars for a dinky old corporation seal worth two and a half!" Matt Peasley's face went white with suppressed fury. "Yes," he said quietly. "I seem to remember some such prophecy; also, some conversation to the effect that I'd be a better business man if I purchased my business experience with my own money.
The Sergeant in charge showed him our orders; he glanced through them and said, "Make yourselves comfortable on the platform and don't leave, the train is liable to be along in five minutes or five hours." It came in five hours, a string of eleven match boxes on big, high wheels, drawn by a dinky little engine with the "con."
As he turns into the room on the left I'm only a jump behind, and all that fetches me up is when he does a dive behind an old lady in a big leather chair. She's a wide, heavy old party, with a dinky white cap on her white hair, and kind of a resigned, patient look on her face. Someway, she acts like she was more or less used to surprises like this; for she don't seem much excited.
First it was a mineral claim; then he banked the future on timber, and when he got tired waiting for stumpage to soar, he put up a dinky sawmill to cut his own trees. He was doing well, for him, getting out ties for a new railroad it was down in Oregon when he saw the chance to trade for a proved-up homestead.
She had been head over heels in love with a chum of mine a clean, manly chap but she had married a broken-down, disreputable old debauchee because he was a count in some dinky little European principality that was not even accorded a distinctive color by Rand McNally. Yes, I was mighty proud of Dian.
"She's so small I can't take off my sweater without tipping her over." "Oh, what a whopper!" gasped Helen. "Never mind," grinned her twin. "Let Jennie run to the superlatives if she likes. Anyway, I would not dream of going so far as the Harbor in that dinky little Tocsin. I've got my eye on just the craft, and I can get her over here in an hour by telephoning to the port. It's the Stazy."
"Not big, and not little dinky baby's teeth either," Billy had said, "... just right, and they fit you." Also, he had said that to look at them made him hungry, and that they were good enough to eat. She recollected all the compliments he had ever paid her. Beyond all treasures, these were treasures to her the love phrases, praises, and admirations.
They had exactly two hundred dollars between them deposited in a local bank here last week. That 's their total cash capital. Yesterday one of my people managed to get down in their dinky mine. It was a girl who did the job, but she 's a bright one, and that fellow Brown proved dead easy when she once got her black eyes playing on him. He threw up both hands and caved.
You'll be good fur something else besides holdin' one of them dinky little teacups, and talking about 'trouserings' no matter what people say. Let 'em talk about you sayin' you'll never be anything like the man your pa was you'll show 'em."
