I live at Bezsonovo, and so you can take proceedings against me, when you think fit and against the Jew too, while you're about it! 'Why take proceedings? said a grey-bearded, decent-looking peasant, bowing low, the very picture of an ancient patriarch. 'We know your honour, Panteley Eremyitch, well; we thank your honour humbly for teaching us better!
"Was not that fine comedy in an old grey-bearded Capuchin dog?" cried the frate, leaping about and cracking his fingers. "Could you have bettered it? Could any man living have bettered it? Confess me an old rogue-in-grain, or I break every bone in your body."
"Because my senses of hearing and feeling are sharper and more developed than those of other folk perhaps," replied the grey-bearded old gentleman, as he turned his sharp-cut, grey, but expressionless countenance to the tall, sweet-faced girl standing beside his chair. No second glance was needed to realise the pitiful truth.
Spragg came in silently, setting his high hat down on the centre-table, and laying his overcoat across one of the gilt chairs. He was tallish, grey-bearded and somewhat stooping, with the slack figure of the sedentary man who would be stout if he were not dyspeptic; and his cautious grey eyes with pouch-like underlids had straight black brows like his daughter's.
Háj Mohammed Et-Tájir, a grey-bearded worthy, who looks like a prince when he walks abroad, and dwells in a magnificent house, sits during business hours on a diminutive tick and wool mattress, on the floor of a cob-webbed room on one side of an ill-paved, uncovered, dirty court-yard.
Tethering his horse to a tree near by he advanced towards it, and the moon now risen faintly touched it with light. Two figures moved from it as he came up. The first was Penchrysa, the second an old, grey-bearded man. 'Welcome, O Roman! said she gravely, then with more emotion, 'thy looks and actions tell me thou lovest me.
"It is on the cards that Nebbi Khiddr has suggested something of the kind," he said. They were led into the great parade-ground before the mosque, and thence into the Khalifa's house, where another white man sat in attendance upon the threshold. Within the Khalifa was seated upon an angareb, and a grey-bearded Greek stood beside him.
The grey-bearded Frenchman, who had always been a great favourite with Gabrielle, sighed slightly, and gave his shoulders a shrug of regret. "Why do you ask that?" inquired Sir Henry, "when she herself admitted that she had been at the safe?" "Because " and the other hesitated. "Well, for several reasons. The story of your quarrel with mademoiselle has leaked out."
He was tall and grey-bearded, sitting the almost mad beast as a piece of her, and scientifically lashing his victim between plunges. The old man's face lit with pride. 'My child! said he briefly, and strove to rein the pony's neck to a fitting arch. 'Am I to be beaten before the police? cried the carter. 'Justice! I will have Justice
For the form of the Grecian Phryne had, by the mere force of its perfect and triumphant beauty, swept away the reason of all that circle of grey-bearded hostile judges called upon to condemn it, had carved for itself a place in history for ever. There should in its presentment be something peculiarly arresting and enchanting, or the artistic idea, the spirit of the picture, would be lost.
