And I'm less troubled about him than I am about the man Jaggs. Father, you will be glad to learn that I am almost afraid of that freakish old man." "Neither of them are here " he began. "Exactly," said Jean, "neither are here Lydia had a telegram from him just before dinner asking if he could come to see her next week." At this moment Lydia returned and Jean Briggerland eyed her critically.
Then I just happened to think to say, "Did you hear all he shouted out on the lake? Because," I said, "he's kind of kind of freakish, sometimes." "He's a little wonder, that's what he is," he said. When we got to the tepee, Mr. Ellsworth jumped up and shook hands with him and said, "Glad to see you, sit down. Sit down too, Roy."
The colonel shook his head. "I shouldn't think it was that," he said. "It was not like Jack o' Judgment to do freakish things. He has an object in everything he does." "Perhaps it was to get you out of the room for the morning and make a search for your papers," suggested Pinto. Again the colonel shook his head. "He knows me better than that.
The Government nominees included, as was only natural, the most personally distinguished group. First of them should be named the Provost of Trinity, Dr. Mahaffy, under whose aegis we assembled a great scholar and a great Irishman. He brought with him an element of independent unregimented political thought often freakish in expression, but based on a vast knowledge of men and countries.
Never before, I imagine, did a company of water-drinkers remain so entirely uncontaminated by the bad example around them; nor could I help wondering that it had not occurred to any freakish inebriate to empty a glass of liquor into their lakelet. What a delightful idea! Who would not be a fish, if he could inhale jollity with the essential element of his existence!
Then, freakish firefly, there, it was off again, the prey of the nickum gusts, before ever a hand could touch it the black parachute rotating like a whirligig. Never oh, never was such a chase for such a prize since mountain was mountain and man was man!
Vittoria had ever a freakish humor for slipping into man's apparel, which some of her friends found diverting and others not, as the mood took them.
And yet I had no fear, but drifted along utterly indifferent to the termination of the freakish escapade in which I had become involved. Nature mercifully sets a limit to human capacity for suffering; and I felt I had reached that limit. Nothing worse could happen than had happened, at least, so I told myself, and I awaited with cynical curiosity what might take place inside the Hudson's Bay fort.
Once, this freakish, elvish cast came into the child's eyes, while Hester was looking at her own image in them, as mothers are fond of doing; and, suddenly,—for women in solitude, and with troubled hearts, are pestered with unaccountable delusions,—she fancied that she beheld, not her own miniature portrait, but another face, in the small black mirror of Pearl's eye.
But by some freakish chance or the other, there was nothing left in that quart bottle by the time Mary cleared the table for dessert. And to tell the honest truth, I don't think the health of either my hostess or myself was a penny the worse. Let no man despise generous wine. Treated with due reverence it is a great loosener of human sympathy.
