This one was constructed of two sixteen-foot poles with a canvas lashed from one bar to the other. The horse was harnessed between the ends of the shafts, the other ends dragging on the ground. Clanton looked at this device distastefully. "I'm no squaw. Whyfor can't I climb on its back an' ride?" "Because you are seeck. It iss of the importance that you do not exert yourself. Voyons!
'Alas! thought Dick Naseby, 'how can any other day come so distastefully to me? He still wanted his experience of the morrow. IT was probably on the stroke of ten, and Dick had been half asleep for some time against the bank, when Esther came up the road carrying a bundle.
Once Tom found him there hunched up in a corner of the window-seat while the chambermaid, viewing his presence distastefully, draped the furniture with bedding and did her best with broom and duster to discourage him from a repetition of the outrage. Between ten and eleven on three days a week Steve put in an hour of study in the room.
Thomas Marvel, with his head on one side regarding them distastefully; "and which is the ugliest pair in the whole blessed universe, I'm darned if I know!" "H'm," said the Voice. "I've worn worse in fact, I've worn none. But none so owdacious ugly if you'll allow the expression. I've been cadging boots in particular for days. Because I was sick of them. They're sound enough, of course.
He turned his brother's letter over and over distastefully. What the deuce did the old chap want now? he wondered. He gave a sigh of resignation, and broke open the flap. He and the Great Horatio had not met for two years. Horatio Ferdinand Challoner, to give him his full name, was a man whose health, or, rather, ill-health, was his hobby.
He looked distastefully at the age-cracked walls, stained with patches of damp that seemed like a material form of disgrace.
Starr had not ridden two miles before his face began to feel the sting of gravel in the sand clouds. His eyes, already aching with a day's hard usage and a night of no sleep, smarted with the impact of the wind. He fumbled at the band of his big, Texas hat and pulled down a pair of motor goggles and put them on distastefully.
Joe, too, saw what they were in for and turned anxiously to Steve. "That's fog, isn't it?" he asked. Steve nodded. "Get the fog-horn ready, will you? We don't want anyone bumping into us. I'm going to slow down to six miles. There's too much water here to drop anchor in." He eyed the advancing fog distastefully and then shrugged his shoulders.
He was smoking very distastefully a pipe because there was plenty of strong shag at the Homestead but no cigarettes. Marcella had been watching him; it had amazed her to see how much more calmly he had taken the cigarette famine than she had guessed possible. "If I can go on like this, dearie," he said at last, "there'll be no more bogeys. I've been busy and very happy this last week.
Joan screwed up her eyes distastefully. "Ain't she queer, Mr. Gael? Poor thing, she's homely!" He clapped to the book. "A matter of educated taste," he said. "You don't know beauty when you see it. If you walked into a drawing-room by the side of that marvelous being, do you think you'd win a look, my dear girl?
