To his horror, his dismay, it is brought in by the drowned Smallbones, who, with a cadaverous, and, as he supposes, unearthly face and vacant look, drawls out, "It's a-blowed out twice, sir, with the wind." Vanslyperken started up, with his eyes glaring and fixed. There could be no mistake. It was the apparition of the murdered lad, and he fell back in a state of unconsciousness.
He yells and drawls and whines through his nose and wears clothes which would make an American cry. That last scene was supposed to be a reception and he wore an outing suit and no waistcoat. Do they suppose such a fellow would be tolerated in respectable society in the United States?" And now it was Hephzy's turn to be philosophical.
The vast amber wall rises out of the ocean, and passes eastward in a golden band till it merges in the Donegal highlands with their immeasurable blue. Sweeping round a wide bay, the land drawls nearer again, the far-away blue darkening to purple, and then to green and brown.
"We-e-e-ell," he drawls, half chucklin', half sing-songy, "I wisht I could get you to kind of look around for a young fellah in thayah, sort of a well favored, upstandin' young man, straight as a cornstalk, and with his front haiah a little wavy. Would you?" "I might find fifty that would answer to that description," says I. "No, Suh, I reckon not," says he, waggin' his noble old head.
I don't know why my notion is that he was born that way, same as some folks are born lightning calculators but I'll never forget the first time Peter asked him how he done it. "Wall," drawls Beriah, "now to-day looks fine and clear, don't it?
Only, do tell me what the perfume is?" "I was going to ask if you knew." "No. Something very expensive and imported, I suppose. Perhaps whoever gave it to you had it made for herself alone, as some wealthy women do. It is the most clinging, yet delicately refreshing scent I ever met." "Tuberose," suggested Vere. "Drawls, no. How can you? Like an old-fashioned funeral!" she cried.
Yet it is a grievous thing NEVER to distort actuality, NEVER to envelop actuality in the wrappings of one's imagination.... Closing his eyes, and picking his words with difficulty, a tall, fair peasant drawls in thick, gluelike tones: "'Very well, I said: and off we set. On the way I said again: 'Gubin, though you may not like to be told so, you are no better than a thief."
"I'm afraid he'll never pick up." At this moment Bamberger was exclaiming, "Pearl, you are joking with me." "Look at that now," said the director, whispering behind his hand. "My Lord! what can you do with a man who drawls out a sentence like that?" "Do the best you can," said Quincel consolingly.
It's all your fault, Crawford; you would stop to hear that fruit man talk. I told you you mustn't." The "fruit man" was Mr. Gaius Small, and, although he stammered, he loved the sound of his own voice. The demand for a dozen oranges furnished Gaius with subject sufficient for a lengthy monologue "forty drawls and ten stutters to every orange," quoting Captain Shad again.
"Hardin, I've come over to-night to talk a little politics with you," begins Joseph. His eye is glued on the Judge's, who steadily returns the glance. "You need not trouble yourself about my political aspirations, sir," haughtily remarks Hardin, glaring at the stolid visitor, who calmly continues. "I don't allow no trouble, Jedge," Woods drawls.
