Thornly yawned secretly. "Handsome, is she?" "Not only that," said Devant, "I suppose she is wonderfully handsome. She has grace, too, and a figure, I should say, about perfect. But it is her mental make-up that staggers me. She talks in one way and thinks in another. She clings to her g's, too, in spite of local tradition.
The curls of the g's and the tails of the y's how full they are of wile, of low, underhand trickery!" I looked at them as she pointed. "That is true!" I exclaimed. "I see it when you show it. Lines meant for effect. No straightness or directness in them!" Hilda reflected a moment. "Poor Daphne!" she murmured. "I would do anything to help her.... I'll tell what might be a good plan."
Pennington keep the secret she thought it great fun; and I really was a great hand to do little chores and keep the cats in subjection too. I made mistakes in grammar and dropped my g's on purpose it was such fun to see you wince when I did it.
The savage artist has the same difficulty with his rude tools in producing anything like satisfactory curves or spirals. It may be that the artist would have produced perfect circles if he could. His failure is exactly like that of a youthful carver of inscriptions coming to grief over his G's and S's.
For my own part I always spell so, with lots of f's and g's and such like tailey, twirley, loopey things, when my heart is in the tender vein. And I hold that a man who will not do so, now he has been shown how to do it, is, in plain English, neither more nor less than a prig. The advantages of a varied spelling of names are very great.
In talking he dropped his final g's and said "sportin'" and "mountain climbin'" and "shootin'." From June until September he wore those Norfolk things with bow ties, and his shirt patterns were restrained to the point of austerity. A signet ring with a large scrolled monogram on the third finger of his right hand was his only ornament, and he had worn a wrist watch long before the War.
She noticed, it is true, certain unmistakable differences a peculiar, soft cadence in his voice as the words slipped from his lips without their final g's; a certain deference to herself standing until she regained her seat, an attention which she attributed at first to embarrassment over his new surroundings and to his desire to please.
"Now bugler!" said Captain Malet-Marsac, and Moussa Isa's locum tenens blew his only call a series of long loud G's.... The gate blazed, before long it would fall.... A hush fell upon the expectant multitude without, the men of the more-or-less uniformed and disciplined party raised their rifles, a big burly man bawled orders....
"I knew it. She's done with Ash Bol, Bol Car, and all those, and has worked through Cod Dem, and Dem Eve. She's down to Hor Kin now, and she'll go through the whole lot before she's done Kin Mag, Mag Mot, Mot Pal, and all the rest." "The Encyclopaedia?" "Don't you see it? No wonder she didn't know beans about Gibraltar! She hadn't come to the G's by then." "She's reading the Encyclopaedia."
"If this happens again, young fellow, I report you; and then good-by to your V G's." He did not mean to be brutal; but Richard could have stabbed him where he stood. There were times to come when the temptation to commit such an act was to be very strong within him; and when no thought of punishment, far less of right, restrained him, but that of his projected vengeance always did.
