When once more in my room, I congratulated myself that now at least no more "false starts" could occur "the eternal Charge d'Affaires, of whom I have been hearing since my arrival, cannot come twice he is here now, and I hope I'm done with him." The supper some greasiness apart was good the wine excellent.
With a little shrill cry like a frightened bird the old man fell upon it, as it had been with claws. "Bite upon it and see if the gold be good," said Sholto, smiling. "Alas," cried the cripple, "I have but one tooth. But I know the coin. It is of the right mintage and greasiness. O lovely gold! Beautiful gentlemen, bide where you are and I will be back with you in a moment."
He was better dressed than his companions, and from this fact, combined with his intonation, I gathered that he belonged to the leisured classes. There was something highly repellent about his smooth yellow face, his greasiness and limp, fat figure. M'Dermott christened him the "Buttered muffin."
Just before getting to the point where the pavement ceased and the houses isolated themselves, he overtook a shambling, stooping, unshaven man, who at first sight appeared like a professional tramp, his shoulders having a perceptible greasiness as they passed under the gaslight. Each pedestrian momentarily turned and regarded the other, and the tramp-like gentleman started back.
She identified them with the writing-up of order-slips on long littered writing-tables, and with hotels that reduced the delicate arts of dining and sleeping to gray greasiness. But Milt knew traveling men.
Through the barnyard smells began to drift...the greasiness of food cooking in the field kitchen. "Ah hope they give us somethin' good to eat," said Chrisfield. "Ah'm hongry as a thrasher." "So am I," said Andrews. "Say, Andy, you kin talk their language a li'l', can't ye?" Andrews nodded his head vaguely. "Well, maybe we kin git some aigs or somethin' out of the lady down there.
She took to breathing with her mouth, and Bohemia noticed that her teeth were small, badly coloured, and uneven. The pimples grew in size and number. The cream and white of her complexion was merging into a general yellow. A certain greasiness of skin was manifesting itself. Babyish ways in connection with a woman who must have weighed about eleven stone struck Bohemia as incongruous.
The company stood at attention, each man looking straight before him at the empty parade ground, where the cinder piles showed purple with evening. On the wind that smelt of barracks and disinfectant there was a faint greasiness of food cooking. At the other side of the wide field long lines of men shuffled slowly into the narrow wooden shanty that was the mess hall.
From the entrance to Wadi Ser we could see Shibahm in the distance, an unpromising looking spot among sandhills. We were all able to find shelter at Hanya under an enormous thorny b'dom tree covered with fruit, and we felt like birds out of a cage, for we never could walk out at Al Koton without a crowd, and the greasiness and spiciness of the food was beginning to pall.
Those animals whose coats furnish a textile fibre more resemble reindeer and goats than sheep; their wool is softer, longer, and less curly, free also from the greasiness of the sheep. It seemed to me that an extreme quaintness characterised the domestic creatures kept for special purposes.
