Since on the same occasion an old lady loudly beseeched her neighbors to "give the general elbow-room," Boston may be said to have taken its mild revenge on him. Theatrical performances, balls, and parties were the amusements of the officers at this period of the siege, and persons of fashion doubtless were pleasantly situated.
Occasionally a fencing-foil lay among these evidences of study, while the small aquaria, the cases of stuffed animals with fancy backgrounds and the numerous bird-cages had been thrust aside to give fair elbow-room. "Perhaps," said Mrs. Trelyon to herself with much satisfaction "perhaps, after all, that good little girl has given him a hint about Parliament, and he is preparing himself."
Cameron came up just as Landram was striving hard to rally his men and to hold a second position in the lower skirt of the wood, to prevent the enemy from coming on across the clearing; but for this, time and numbers and elbow-room were alike wanting. Moreover, every movement of the Confederate troopers must be gaining on the flanks.
The men, the young and the clever ones, find it a house and heaven knows they're right with intellectual elbow-room, with freedom of talk. Most English talk is a quadrille in a sentry-box. You'll tell me we go further in Italy, and I won't deny it, but in Italy we have the common sense not to have little girls in the room. The young men hang about Mrs.
I made my walk short and my task long, my work turning entirely on the History all on speculation. But the post brought me a letter from Dr. Lardner, the manager of the Cyclopædia, agreeing to my terms; so all is right there, and no labour thrown away. The volume is to run to 400 pages; so much the better; I love elbow-room, and will have space to do something to purpose.
The narrow space between the barracks and the barricade was choked with struggling figures. Some twenty convicts, and half as many soldiers, struck and stabbed at each other in the crowd. There was barely elbow-room, and attacked and attackers fought almost without knowing whom they struck.
We all admiring the finicalness of the entertainment, "Mars," said he, "is a lover of justice, and therefore let every one have a table to himself, for having more elbow-room, these nasty stinking boys will be less troublesome to us"; and thereupon large double-eared vessels of glass close plaistered over, were brought up with labels about their necks, upon which was this inscription: OPIMIAN MUSCADINE OF AN HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
It effectually prevented French reinforcements from coming up to the first line. His automatic pistol ready, Dick Prescott found elbow-room on the fire step. Cautiously he looked over the parapet. For a moment he could see nothing, save that German shell-fire had blown the barbed wire defenses to pieces, clearing the way for the German invaders to reach them.
I'll have nine fine young trees this time three years, I reckon. Thank you, suh. How's things over to the Co't House?" "Troops arriving all the while," said the Messenger carelessly. "Comin' in?" "Lots." "Sho! I heard they was sendin' 'em East." "Oh, some. We've got to have elbow-room. Can't pack two army corps into Osage Court House." "Two a'my co'ps, suh?" "More or less."
Lying here at full length, with no elbow-room to manage the rod, you must occasionally even unjoint your tip, and fish with that, using but a dozen inches of line, and not letting so much as your eyebrows show above the bank. Is it a becoming attitude for a middle-aged citizen of the world? That depends upon how the fish are biting.
