Pathurst we never discuss the sailors." It was a facer to me, and with quite a pronounced fellow-feeling for Larry I hurriedly added: "It was not merely the discipline that interested me. It was the feat of strength." "Sailors are trouble enough without our hearing about them, Mr. Pathurst," Captain West went on, as evenly and imperturbably as if I had not spoken.
You should not call them dishonest for this any more than a judge should call a barrister dishonest for earning his living by defending one in whose innocence he does not seriously believe; but you should hear the barrister on the other side before you decide upon the case." This was another facer.
Also, I was scared; for it instantly occurred to me that if I had gone up to two hundred and forty-seven in two or three years from two hundred and thirty-five I should keep on going up if my manner of living didn't change and that presently I should weigh three hundred! That two hundred and forty-seven pounds was a facer.
I'm sure not one of them would toss it aside, unheeding where it might fall!" This was perfectly true. None of the four girls could have been so heedless as that! They had carefully handled every gem or curio shown them, and then returned it to Mr. Forbes as a matter of course. Fenn's speech was rather a facer.
Gunton-Cresswell, "hitherto you have acted manfully toward Eva. You have been brave. Have you no regard for Eva?" "None," I said. "Nor for Mr. Cloyster?" "Not a scrap." "But why are you behaving in this appallingly selfish way?" This was a facer. I couldn't quite explain to her how things really were, so I said: "Never you mind. Selfish or not, Mrs. Gunton-Cresswell, I'm out for trouble."
"How came it, my friend, that you were flying upon the coast when you suffered that accident, so terrible, and paralysed that poor brave heart of yours?" Madame asked the question in the most natural, sympathetic way. It was a facer for Rust, who regretted that he had been so communicative at that first meeting "I was lent to the Naval Wing," he explained, and avoided to particularise.
He was less bouyant, less manifest, less elated, but more poised and sure. A change, yes. Then her thoughts reverted to his tremendous undertaking. "How long have you known this?" she inquired. "Since the day before yesterday. Pat Carrigan, my contractor, and I came to the capital at once to discuss the affair with the Board. The news was well, a good deal of a facer." She nodded.
I'd like to attend the convention, anyway," said Brock amiably. "Well, you see, Brock," said Medcroft lamely, "I fear you don't quite appreciate the situation. I want you to pose as Roxbury Medcroft." "You What do you mean?" "I thought you'd find that a facer. That's just it: you are to go to Vienna as Roxbury Medcroft, not as yourself. Ha, ha! Ripping, eh?"
Our own opinion is, that they were both animated with a congenial spirit. Biddy was the very pink of pugnacity, and could throw in a body blow, or plant a facer, with singular energy and science.
"That precious Guards' swell!" he muttered gloatingly, for the hundredth time. "I've paid him out at last! He won't take a 'walk over' again in a hurry. Cuss them swells! They allays die so game; it ain't half a go after all, giving 'em a facer; they just come up to time so cool under it all, and never show they are down, even when their backers throw up the sponge.
