The open forest road, with the murmur of the stream below, was delightfully exhilarating, and as we rose the prospect opened, the lovely valley below, Bald Mountains behind us, and the Butt Mountains rising as we came over the ridge. Nobody on the way, none of the frowzy women or unintelligent men, knew anything of the route, or could give us any information of the country beyond.
He went happily about planning for a bath-room. There would have to be water power. He had seen windmills on other places as he passed. That was perhaps the solution of this problem, but windmills cost money of course. Still, all in good time. There was a tumbled-down barn and chicken house, and a frowzy attempt at a garden.
Now and then there was the cool blue of sunny, wind-swept waters winding hither and thither toward the sea, and sometimes miles of deep forest swamp through which the railroad went by broad, frowzy, treeless clearings flanked with impassable oozy ditches; but shade there was none. Nor was there peace.
She only knew that Maurice seemed to like them which meant that her society "wasn't enough for him "! So she tried to make it enough for him. Dinner over, she was uneasy until she had dragged her eager-eyed young husband up to the desert island of their third-floor front a dingy room, with a black-marble mantelpiece, and a worn and frowzy carpet.
If it is a reptile, and I suppose it is; for it has frowzy hair and blue eyes, and looks like a reptile. It has no hips; it tapers like a carrot; when it stands, it spreads itself apart like a derrick; so I think it is a reptile, though it may be architecture.
The inhabitants of Bethune the shopkeepers, and brave little families of France, and bright-eyed girls, and frowzy women, and heroines, and harlots came out into the streets before the battle of Loos, and watched the British army pouring through battalions of Londoners and Scots, in full fighting-kit, with hot sweat on their faces, and grim eyes, and endless columns of field-guns and limbers, drawn by hard-mouthed mules cursed and thrashed by their drivers, and ambulances, empty now, and wagons, and motor-lorries, hour after hour, day after day.
I passed the open doors and I saw the shabby old tables and chairs and the princesses two fat old women in frowzy wrappers, and their hair in papers, eating that soup of pork and cabbages and raisins the air was thick with the smell! And that is not the worst!" "Take breath, Jean," said Lucy calmly. "The prince himself the Joneses told me, there can be no doubt the prince makes soap for a living!
This idea, proposing it to our aristocracy to take up his other ideas, or reject them on pain of the forfeiture of their caste and headship with the generations to follow, and a total displacing of them in history by certain notorious, frowzy, scrubby pamphleteers and publishers, Lord Ormont thought amazingly comical. English nobles heading the weavers, cobblers, and barbers of England!
All the obscene apparatus of London life was there. And as he raised his eyes to the drawing-room and bedroom stories he found no relief. His eyes could discover nothing that was not mean, ugly, frowzy, and unimaginative. He pictured the heavy, gloomy, lethargic life within. The slatternly servants pottering about the bases of the sooty buildings sickened and saddened him.
You was hitched to a rail, back o' the stand, in a buckboard with a soap-box nailed on the slats, an' a frowzy buff'lo atop, while your man peddled rum fer lemonade to little boys as thought they was actin' manly, till you was both run off the track an' jailed -you intoed, shufflin', sway-backed, wind-suckin' skate, you!" "Don't get het up, Deacon," said Tweezy, quietly.
