"Now why don't you open that window?" Mrs. Klopton succumbed. "Because there are queer goings-on in that house next door," she said. "If you will take the beef tea, Mr. Lawrence, I will tell you." The queer goings-on, however, proved to be slightly disappointing. It seemed that after I left on Friday night, a light was seen flitting fitfully through the empty house next door.
Sometimes I almost feel thankful that Emily is blind; it would grieve her to see the goings-on.
The gypsies sing, ... such goings-on.... And there's a streamer on the tent, and on the streamer, written in large letters: "The Troupe of Poltyev's Gypsies." The streamer coils like a snake, the letters are of gold, attractive for every one to read. A free entertainment whoever likes to come! ... No refusal! I'm making the dust fly in Moscow ... to my glory! ... Eh? will you come?
You'd better have a good frock with you." She had an air of subdued excitement, and after she had established the fact that not only the white frock but slippers and hose also would go in she went to the door and glanced up and down the passage. Then she closed the door. "There was queer goings-on here last night, miss," she said cautiously. "Spies!" "Oh, no!" cried Sara Lee.
I was off to Alton. But what are these goings-on?" said the Colonel, staring at young Mr. Colfax, rigid as one of his own gamecocks. He was standing defiantly over the stooping figure of the assistant manager. "Oh," said Virginia, indifferently, "it's only Clarence. He's so tiresome. He's always wanting to fight with somebody."
It is I that shall feel lonely; but but it is quite time that I should go to my work." "Quite time!" said the severe possessor of the eagle beak. "Baden is a bad place for young men. They make acquaintances here of which very little good can come. They frequent the gambling-tables, and live with the most disreputable French Viscounts. We have heard of your goings-on, sir.
Nothing is so annoying when one's hair is growing gray as being misunderstood especially by a waiter. Affairs overhead now took a serious turn. The clouds evidently disapproving of the hilarious goings-on of the sun poking its head out just as the cloud was raining its prettiest had, in retaliation, stopped up all the holes the sun could peer through, and had started in to rain harder than ever.
The jailer, too, was all civility." * Little wonder that such goings-on are said to have "filled the measure of Jefferson's disgust." The trial itself opened on Monday, the 3d of August. The first business in hand was to get a jury which would answer to the constitutional requirement of impartiality a task which it was soon discovered was likely to prove a difficult one.
Just look at it for yourself. Everything was going smoothly until Elizabeth came. Now it's not. Elizabeth has told you she's had goings-on with Harry Goward. I don't see, Ada, how you can be so blind as not to be willing to look the truth in the face. If it's not Elizabeth's fault, whose is it? I don't suppose you believe Henry Goward's dying for love of Aunt Elizabeth when he can look at Peggy!
One dark, dreary morning, about the Christmas-time, I noted that Lady Catherine and her family had been in my dreams all night their grand house, and gay goings-on in London, mingling strangely with the old story of Master Arthur and the farmer's daughter.
