They saw the dust-stained horse, and dustier rider, and, thinking it would be fine sport to whet their blades on his clumsy sword, bore down upon him.
I thought of that living and growing gold calling to me from all the heaths of the world and then of that dead, dull gold and bronze and brass of my brother's growing dustier and dustier as life went by. Nature and the Carstairs Collection had come to grips at last. "Nature is older than the Carstairs Collection.
Stephen looked around him: at the dusty books on the shelves, and the still dustier books heaped on Mr. Richter's big table; at the cuspidors; at the engravings of Washington and Webster; at the window in the jog which looked out on the court-house square; and finally at another ground-glass door on which was printed: SILAS WHIPPLE
Then ensued an impressive silence while Bill calmly pocketed the fifty dollars. "But it hadn't the same dove!" exclaimed one outlaw, excitedly. "This 'n'is smaller, dustier, not so purple." Bill eyed the speaker loftily. "Wal, you'll have to ketch the other one to prove thet. Sabe, pard? Now I'll bet any gent heah the fifty I won thet I can scare thet dove with one stone."

A horseman galloped toward them. It was Shepard again, dustier than ever, his face pale from weariness. "What is it, Mr. Shepard?" asked Colonel Winchester. "I've just reported to General McClellan that our whole command at Harper's Ferry, thirteen thousand strong, surrendered early this morning and that Jackson with picked men has already started to join Lee!" "My God! My God!" cried the colonel.
Then she went quietly out into the street with the strips of carpet and banged them against the railings of the house; this time it was the street that was dustier than ever; and Pollyooly appeared to have come from the lower Congo.

It was much like my own study, only I think a little dustier. Being on the third floor it was farther from the garden, consequently Walters reached there seldom. The captain turned back and began to read the letter again. This was decidedly embarrassing.
