And the girls'll be wild about it. And the words!" He began to sing, gratingly off key: Put on your sky clothes, Put on your fly clothes, And take a trip with me. We'll sail so high Up in the sky We'll drop a bomb from Mercury. "Why, that's awfully cute!" exclaimed Terry. Until now her opinion of Mr. Sammett's talents had not been on a level with his.
You need not step softly to-night, Pat, though the baby is sleeping. She will not hear your heavy boots, tramp they never so loudly up the stairs. Never mind the doll you have in your hand for her her eyes will not open to look upon it. Lift the latch quietly, though, for there is grief in the room, and noise comes harshly and gratingly upon a sorrowing ear.
A faint breath of the mysteriously perfumed air stirred the exotic palms over her head and made their fronds rub against each other gratingly, as if some secret signal were being carried on from one to another. Turning to right, to left, or to look behind her, dimly seen mountains soared toward a sky that deepened from asphodel to the dark indigo of a star-powdered zenith.
He fidgeted a moment or two, then he went over to his mother, and, putting his hand on her arm the feel of his mother's round arm under the black silk sleeve made his tears rise he said, more gratingly than ever: 'Ne'er mind, Ma; we'll be all right to you. Then he bent and kissed her. 'Good night, Mother, he said awkwardly, and he went out of the room. Beatrice was crying.
The card-rooms, the faro, stud, and roulette layouts were deserted, save for policemen here and there on guard. Carruthers led the way to a room at the back of the hall, whose door was open and from which issued a hubbub of voices one voice rose above the others, heavy and gratingly complacent. "Clayton's back," observed Carruthers.
The words jerked out gratingly, of themselves. "Perhaps. That is what I want to speak to you about. I have a chance of doing so." "Chance? How chance?" he asked sharply. "That's what I am going to tell you, if you will give me time." Drawing a letter from her pocket, she smoothed the creases out of the envelope, and handed it to him. While he read it, she looked away, looked over the enclosure.
She could not even make out the man's form, it was so dark; but, as he had not moved, she was quite well aware that he was standing with his back to the door, evidently trying to place his surroundings. It was Gypsy Nan, not Rhoda Gray, who spoke. "Who's dere?" she screeched. "D'ye hear, blast youse, who's dere?" Rough Rorke laughed gratingly. "That you, Nan, my dear?"
He was just by the edge of the rock, almost within reach of my landing net, when, with a last desperate effort to escape, he plunged towards the bottom, made a dive under the rock, the line came against its edge, slipped gratingly for a moment, snapped, and the fish was gone. He was a beautiful trout, and beautifully he played.
It's time I killed him." He spoke gratingly, with the dull anger of years. On the bright surface of the opposite hillside a sled bearing a muffled figure appeared silhouetted against the glisten of the crust. Its team, maddened by the village scent, poured down the incline toward the river bank and the guide swung onto the runners behind, while the voice of the people rose to their priest.
But there is another sort of madness that proceeds from Folly, so far from being any way injurious or distasteful that it is thoroughly good and desirable; and this happens when by a harmless mistake in the judgment of things the mind is freed from those cares which would otherwise gratingly afflict it, and smoothed over with a content and satisfaction it could not under other circumstances so happily enjoy.
