"Who brushed the walls? Who put those flimsies to the windows? Who touched my beloved books? Who was the person? Name the culprit." "There were quite a lot of us, father. We all did it," said Briar. "You all did it? You mean to tell me, little girl, that you did it?" "I dusted a lot of the books, father. I didn't injure one of them, and I put them back again just in the same place.
was ringing in my ears when I squared myself at the railroad desk and attacked the first big bunch of "flimsies," as the tissue copies of the waybills are called. It was almost unbelievable that my luck had turned so soon, and yet the fact seemed undeniable. I had a job to which I had been recommended by the one man in the city who knew my record.
If you find the note, exchange other money for it and bring it to me." "There may be a chance," commented Faust, scratching his fat poll meditatively; "the fellows like to keep these big bills, they're easier in the pocket than a whole bundle of flimsies. The next day was getaway-day, an' they wouldn't be payin' out much. I'll make a play fer it."
Only tell me your trade, and I will join you, leaving the Vine of the Divine to take care of itself." "Come, I say! don't think that I am a printer of flimsies, and a smasher!" replied Jacques, laughing. "Oh, comrade! no such suspicion " "It would be excusable, seeing the rigs I run. But I'll make you easy on that point. I am spending an inheritance."
Paul ably handled the house, there was one thing Saxon insisted on doing namely, washing her own pretty flimsies. "When I 'm no longer able to do that," she told Billy, "you can take a spade to that clump of redwoods beside Wild Water and dig a hole. It will be time to bury me." It was early in the days of Madrono Ranch, at the time of Mrs.
I couldn't help my grandfather if I wanted to." "You have what is left of three hundred pounds," said Lala Roy. "If I said that last night," replied Joe, "I must have been drunker than I thought. You old fool! the flimsies were duffers. Where do you think I could raise three hundred pounds? No, no I'm sorry for the old man, but I can't help him. I'm going to see him again in a day or two.
"Though I wish it were Bruce Anstey, or any of the pick of my young men to lie with me in the great dark and to crumble with me to the dust that is the real death." She gazed at Saxon with eyes heated by alcohol and at the same time cool with the coolness of content. "In the old days the great of earth were buried with their live slaves with them. I but take my flimsies, my dear."
"They all have their worth, little infant-woman with so much to learn. There are times when men may be won with wine. There are times when men may be won with the wine of song, so queer they are. La la, so many ways, so many ways. There are your pretties, my dear, your dainties. They are magic nets. No fisherman upon the sea ever tangled fish more successfully than we women with our flimsies.
Beyond them the coloured fabric of the bay becomes diaphanous, and I can but wonder at the permanence of such a coast in this wind, for in it the delicate cliffs and the frail tinted fields inclined above them seem to tremble, as though they would presently collapse and tear from their places and stream inland as torn flimsies and gossamer. It is the sublimation of earth.
I was the one fast kid that ever rushed flimsies." "What's that?" demanded Nancy, in wonder. "Carried telegrams. But I couldn't stop there. The other kids pounded the life pretty near out of me," he said, with perfect seriousness. "Oh! why were they so mean?" "'Cause I set 'em all a pace that they couldn't keep up with.
