"Not so fast," he insisted, holding the young men back, and a moment later there entered a florid-faced man with authoritative mien, closely followed by two policemen. "Horns of a purple cow!" muttered the Bridgeport art student, who loved eccentric oaths.
There are also several mentions of impish, lovable Jimmy he of the red hair, presumably and of visits, on her afternoons off, to the cheap and somewhat squalid apartment where he lived with his thin, tired, but pitifully optimistic mother, and a stout, florid-faced father, who wore shabby, but very loud-checked, suits and was apparently a highly successful business man of big affairs, but frequently "temporarily out of funds."
Phil found him to be a florid-faced, square jawed man whose expression was as repulsive as it was brutal. Sully wore a red vest and red necktie with a large diamond in it. He gave the Circus Boy a quick sharp look as he passed. "I'll bet he will know me the next time he sees me," muttered Phil. "But whether he does or not I have made some discoveries that Mr.
At this moment the clerk returned followed by Maître Curé, a florid-faced, brisk-moving, bushy-haired man in tight frock coat, who suggested an opera impresario. He seemed amused when told that the prisoner rejected his services, and established himself comfortably in a corner of the room as an interested spectator.
He had reached the boulevard, when a florid-faced youth, remarkably short and stout, rushed toward him with both hands amicably extended, at the same time crying, loud enough to attract the attention of the passers-by: "Is it possible that this is my dear Wilkie?"

I again asked for my coat, but it was clear now that before offering to fight the florid-faced man with the mole over his left eyebrow I must have hung my coat upon the splashboard of his van.
"His loyalty has often been tested, I presume?" persisted the florid-faced fellow. "He's a very thoroughly trustworthy young man, if that's what you mean." Captain Cortland was beginning to feel somewhat annoyed, for, truth to tell, he did not like Draney very well.
A few more entered after they did, and then a florid-faced man arose, and, followed by a short and stout young lady, walked forward to the platform.
To the rowdy tune of the Posthorn Polka the different couples were dashing to and fro all a little drunk with emotion and champagne; and, as if fascinated, Alice's eyes followed the shoulders of a tall, florid-faced man.
