'You are to point me out all the distinguished people. Is it true, that your brother has left the army? 'Dartrey no longer wears the red. Here comes Colonel Corfe, who does. England has her army still! 'His wife persuaded him? 'You see he is wearing the black. 'For her? How very very sad! Tell me what a funnily dressed woman meeting that gentleman! 'Hush a friend of the warrior.
Isn't it queer that all the gulls have eyes just alike black and shiny and round, just like little shoe-buttons? How funnily they swim! They sit right down on the water as if it wasn't wet. Don't you wish you could do that? Look how they tuck up their pinky feet under them when they fly, and how they turn their heads from side to side, looking for something good to eat.
Away in the corner where there was a little copse with a pond in the middle was a crowd of people, some men from the village and her mother and Robert and some others. Whatever was it? While she peered, Harold came running out of the group towards the house. His coat was off, and his waistcoat; and his shirt and trousers looked funny and he ran funnily.
They have put up a dreadful caricature of B. in Newcome: and my brother says he did it, but I hope not. It is very droll, though: he used to make them very funnily. I am glad he has spirits for it. Good-bye again. "He says he did it!" cries Mr. Pendennis, laying the letter down. "Barnes Newcome would scarcely caricature himself, my dear?" "'He' often means means Clive I think," says Mrs.
A man in a grey top hat, grey-bearded, with thin brown, folded cheeks, and a certain elegance of posture, sat there with a woman in a lawn-coloured frock, whose dark eyes were fixed on himself. Soames looked quickly at his feet. How funnily feet moved, one after the other like that! Winifred's voice said in his ear: "Jolyon looks very ill; but he always had style.
"I thought," he gasped, "it was old Ally Sloper." I managed to escape from him and to stand up. Hubert, however, did not say anything, but began to brush my coat with his hand. "Who is Ally Sloper?" I asked, for I began to think that the Professor, who was looking ashamed of himself, was a lunatic. "He's Mr. King, the man who helps me at Oxford, he dresses rather funnily," Hubert explained.
And she perceived after a time a new spirit in her old home, the metropolitan spirit, which was funnily self-conscious and proud of itself. "We too," every one seemed to be saying, "are natives of no mean city." Milly heartily approved of this spirit. She liked to think and to say that after all, in spite of her husband's errancy, Chicago was also her city.
To the proud, reserved girl, her present life was intolerable. 'Oh don't, Stella! Fancy, if you were like me, really! We should get into all sorts of muddles; besides, people would not be so kind to us! she added shrewdly. Stella refrained from asking her what she meant; for she knew too, and, funnily enough, resented the attention which her beauty brought her.
Through all this Mr. Miller sat quiet. He was a slip of an oldish gentleman, ruddy and twinkling; he spoke in a smooth rich voice, with an infinite effect of pawkiness, dealing out each word the way an actor does, to give the most expression possible; and even now, when he was silent, and sat there with his wig laid aside, his glass in both hands, his mouth funnily pursed, and his chin out, he seemed the mere picture of a merry slyness.
Then the gentleman, who was sitting between Rosa and the old peasant, began to wink knowingly at the ducks whose heads were sticking out of the basket, and when he felt that he had fixed the attention of his public, he began to tickle them under the bills and spoke funnily to them to make the company smile.
