Blake's look for a moment was one of triumphant satisfaction; it was but a glance, however, and repressed the very instant after, as he said, with a well got-up indifference, "Just step with me into the study, and we're sure not to be interrupted." Now, although I have little time or space for such dallying, I cannot help dwelling for a moment upon the aspect of what Mr.
I never take sides in questions of art, and though of course I'm a friend of the Senniers, I'm really praying for you to have a triumph. Surely the sky has room for two stars. What nonsense all this Press got-up rivalry is. Don't believe a word you see in the papers about Henriette and your libretto. She knows nothing whatever about it, of course. Such rubbish!
With a long, screaking crash the branch stooped down to the water, and, so soon as the old element made itself acquainted with those parts that reached it first, the gallant captain, with a sort of sob, redoubled his efforts, and down came the faithless bough, more and more perpendicularly, until his nicely got-up cue and bag, then his powdered head, and finally Captain Cluffe's handsome features, went under the surface.
They had magenta-coloured plush knee-breeches, and magenta-coloured silk stockings. It was in May, and the weather was fine, and these eight excellently got-up London footmen were stationed at different points in the city, each with a silken bag suspended round his shoulder by a silken cord.
"It was a got-up thing and it was too transparent, and so badly acted." "I don't mean that. Do you know that it was all too transparent on purpose, that those... who had to, might understand it. Do you understand that?" "I don't understand." "Tant mieux; passons. I am very irritable to-day." "But why have you been arguing with him, Stepan Trofimovitch?" I asked him reproachfully.
Versifying is the lowest form of poetry; and the last thing a great poet will do in these days is to write verses. I have been trying to read Venus and Adonis and the Rape of Lucrece but cannot get on with them. They teem with fine things, but they are got-up fine things. I do not know whether this is quite what I mean but, come what may, I find the poems bore me.
In short, dear reader, she was a perfectly got-up angel, and wanted only some tulle clouds and an opening heaven to have gone up at once, as similar angels do from the Parisian stage. "You like me, don't you?" she said, as she saw the delight in John's eyes. John was tempted to lay hold of his plaything. "Don't, now, you'll crumple me," she said, fighting him off with a dainty parasol.
"Neither am I sure that she has not," said the major. "The robbery at Carlisle was no robbery," continued Bunfit. "It was a got-up plant, and about the best as I ever knowed. It's my mind that it was a got-up plant between her ladyship and his lordship; and either the one or the other is just keeping the diamonds till it's safe to take 'em into the market." In Hertford Street
'Rasmus was the unmistakable son of his father. "And it ain't no got-up ark, neither!" he yelled at me, in a tone which pierced through the distance and the darkness, and every intervening obstacle. "It's the reg'lar old Ark! It's what Noer, and the elephant, and them fellows come over in!"
The elaborate and craftily got-up attack upon him would never have been concerted would never have had occasion to be concerted but that his enemies regarded him as a most dangerous and formidable opponent. Even in her hurried thoughts of the moment Helena took in all this. But the knowledge made her none the less proud.
