"But yes, I can marry you in the church," said the Vicar, blowing out smoke, and laughing enjoyably across at Graeme, who sat in another garden chair under the big trees in front of the Vicarage. "In spite of the fact that we are aliens?" "Oh, it is not so bad as that. We ab-sorbed you by conquest and so you are really a part of us. We are all one family now."
You'll be quite all right in a day or two, Miss Penny," with a touch of sympathetic commiseration in his voice. "Oh, I'm quite all right now," said Miss Penny enjoyably. "I thought it only right and proper to let you know where you stand. At the present moment you are as likely as not aiding and abetting a breaker of the British laws and her accomplice.
He passed by scattered houses and stores which were mere log huts loopholed for defense, with shutters and doors of hewn plank heavy enough to stop a musket ball. The unpaved lanes wandered between mud holes in which pigs wallowed enjoyably. Negro slaves, half-naked and bearing heavy burdens, jabbered the dialects of the African jungle from which they had been kidnapped a few months before.
The second was Captain L.M. Goldsborough, a man of stalwart height and proportions and a presence that ennobled command; learned and accomplished, yet gruff and overwhelming in speech and brusque and impatient in manner, but possessing, withal, a kindly nature, and a keen sense of humor that took in a joke enjoyably, however practical; and a sympathetic discrimination that often led him to condone moral offences at which some of the straight-laced professors stood aghast.
With all a sailor's ingenuity, he could carve the most wonderful things out of the least promising and worthless materials that could be imagined; while, as for making fun out of nothing, or telling thrilling stories of fairies and pirates and the different folk amongst whom he had mixed in his travels some of them, to be sure, rather queer, as Conny said why, he hadn't an equal, and could make the dreariest afternoon pass enjoyably to young and old alike, even Joe the gardener taking almost as great pleasure in his society as Molly and Mary.
This was a favourite device of theirs when about to meet a new young man; it usually startled him considerably. If he was not a person of sound nerve and abstemious habits, it not infrequently evoked from him some enjoyably regrettable expression of surprise and alarm. I knew all the tricks in their répertoire, and waited interestedly to see the effect of this series.
He was, in short, what is known as an inkyo, or one "dwelling in retirement," a singular state, composed of equal parts of this world and the next; like dying in theory, and then undertaking to live on in practice. For an inkyo is a man who has formally handed in his resignation to the community, and yet continues to exist most enjoyably in the midst of it.
Hoddan could guess that Ghek would have prepared something elaborate in the way of a trousseau for the bride he was to carry screaming from her home. Somehow it was the sort of thing a Darthian would do. Now Fani would enjoyably attire herself in the best of it while "Thal," said Hoddan, "help me get this character into a closet somewhere. He's not to be killed.
We might have taken our own time then, and done it enjoyably made quite a pleasure-trip of it." I drop my hands into my lap. "People's ideas of pleasure differ," I say, with trite snappishness. "Yes," he answers, a little sadly, "no two people look at any thing in quite the same way, do they? not even husband and wife." "I suppose not," say I, still thinking of the steward.
"I remember you said you should know us apart, but when I told Hope, she thought she could deceive you at any time." "Well, she knows better now!" he returned meaningly. "Why? Did she ever try it?" "Yes, once." He laughed enjoyably. "She did. And she never told me!" "Certainly not, for she failed entirely. I thought she would want to keep it to herself, so I never betrayed her."
