Their killing of birds was, indeed, necessary, for purposes of scientific classification; but now that such classifying has, for the most part, been attained, the gun has largely gone out of vogue, and the glass has taken its place. Let your alliterative motto be: With the glass, not the gun. I would advise you not to buy a flashily colored glass, for it will dazzle your eyes on sunshiny days.
When they were all back in the car again, Ted, for the first time, noticed a large man, flashily dressed, who wore a flaming red necktie, and who evidently thought himself irresistible to the ladies. Graham were sitting. "I'll take a fall out of that fellow if he keeps up that sort of thing much longer," said Ted, who was sitting beside Kit. "I was thinking of the same thing," said Kit.
He was on the point of turning back. But he reached the fountain and there was his destiny awaiting him a little woman in widow's black. She lifted her veil and showed a face wrinkled and old, but kindly. She was agitated she really did not expect him and the great man gave a great sigh of relief when he saw that no flashily dressed creature had entrapped him.
There scores upon scores of soil-smeared workmen swarmed over all the landscape with long paper-wrapped rolls of Panamanian silver in their hands, while flashily dressed touts and crooks of both sexes drifted out from Panama with every train to worm their insidious way into wherever the scent of coin promised another month free from labor.
They were not of the flashily dressed sort, but no one would have had to look twice to know that there was money in the crowd. They had had their first round of drinks, and started in to enjoy themselves. They were all intimates, calling each other by their first names.
"He says he used to cook," put in a small, alert, nervous, rather flashily dressed individual named Rowlee, editor of the Bugle. "I did!" stoutly asseverated Webb. "And that he baked a loaf of bread so hard nobody could eat it." "Sounds perfectly reasonable," said Sherwood. "And that nobody could break it," Rowlee went on. "I have no difficulty in believing that," said Sherwood judicially.
Suddenly, seeing Jeremy heeded them no whit, a big, swaggering fellow stepped forward, a flashily dressed herculean figure in tops and cords, his high-collared, brass-buttoned coat moulding a mighty chest and spread of shoulder; which formidable person now advanced upon us flourishing a quart pot and with divers of the riotous company at his heels.
He was a big fellow, flashily dressed, and with a countenance at once coarse and dissipated; and as he made a second forward movement I could distinctly see his hand drop, with a significant gesture, toward his right hip. 'Stop him! cried the almost breathless head-waiter. 'A beat. At the word the woman made a little forward spring, and the man made a movement to follow.
She was a rather flashily dressed girl, but remarkably good looking, in spite of the rouge and powder which had long since spoiled what might otherwise have been a clear and fine complexion. The roots of her hair showed plainly that it had been bleached. Garrick examined the body closely, and more especially the jagged wound in the breast. I bent over also. It seemed utterly inexplicable.
The girl, despite her association with the arena, was a modest, unaffected little thing of about eighteen; the man was a straight-looking, clear-eyed, boyish-faced young fellow of about eight-and-twenty, well, but by no means flashily, dressed, and carrying himself with the air of one who respects himself and demands the respect of others.
