Captain Burroughs his rheumatism more troublesome than ever was also present, with his hands full of invoices and bills of lading to which he referred from time to time for information in reply to some question from Mr Marshall; and soon the winches began to creak and the main hatch to disgorge its contents, while a crowd of those curious and idle loafers who, like the poor, are always with us, quickly gathered upon the wharf to gapingly watch the process of unloading the cargo.
I hearkened to it by the hour, gapingly hearkened, and let my cigarette go out. Sometimes the wind would make a sally nearer hand, and send a shrill, whistling crash among the foliage on our side of the glen; and sometimes a back-draught would strike into the elbow where we sat, and cast the gravel and torn leaves into our faces.
Drag him down, and crush him to atoms, that the place which knows him may know him no more! 'Thou art the Man! cried Jabez, after a solemn pause, leaning over his cushion. 'Seventy times seven times didst thou gapingly contort thy visage seventy times seven did I take counsel with my soul Lo, this is human weakness: this also may be absolved! The First of the Seventy-First is come.
That pause followed while the driver in George's brain stood gapingly inactive; and then came laughter to him like a draught of champagne. For the girl put up her firm, round chin and laughed with a clear pipe of glee a laugh to call a laugh as surely as a lark's note will set a hedge in song; and it called the laugh in George. He said: "I am thinking the nicest things of you.
'About two months! Yes, I've a-been away from England a good bit, an' when I left her she hadn't a hair on her head, nor yet a tooth in her mouth. And the two of us did laugh and laugh till we did very nigh bust our bandages." "'Twas the little maid I did mean," explained Dick, as his mother still stared gapingly from one to the other.
Then glancing about the filthy room he added, "and cleanliness is next to godliness." She opened the door proudly his words had taught her a newer dignity. "This air my shanty," she said. "I air sorry I hitted yer Daddy's face, cause cause he air yer Daddy. Scoot now!" For one short moment after the going of Frederick, Tessibel stood, gapingly, looking out into the darkness.
Just at this juncture, lightning flashed through the cracked window and played above the face of the babe until the red of the fire mark from head to shoulder glowed crimson under the blotched skin. The tiny, scrawny arms were bare, the withered mouth opened and shut, gapingly. As the eyes of the boy fell upon it, he went so deadly white that Tess thought he was going to fall.
Had Jenny been there, to fling her gage into the field, Alf might gapingly have followed her, lost again in admiration of her more sparkling tongue and equipments. But in such circumstances the arraigned party is never present. If Jenny had been there the tale could not have been told. Emmy's virtuous and destructive monologue would not merely have been interrupted: it would have been impossible.
The whalerman was gapingly, tearfully tipsy: the courtier walked on air; the king himself was even sportive. Seated in a chair in the Ricks' sitting-room, he bore the brunt of our prayers and menaces unmoved. He was even rated, plied with historic instances, threatened with the men-of-war, ordered to restore the tapu on the spot and nothing in the least affected him.
And he pours into our country every year a fresh supply of gentlemanly cricketing youths, gapingly unprepared unless they have picked up a broad generalisation or so from some surreptitious Socialist pamphlet for the immense issues they must control, and that are altogether uncontrollable if they fail to control them. The universities do scarcely more for our young men.
