"He's only wanting one of those cases you've just dumped out. Likes to fancy his time's precious. I know him." The conductor waved his hand, the big bell clanged, and the train had just rolled with a rattle over a trestle ahead, when Mattawa Tom, grimed with thick red dust, flung himself down beside the agent's office.
That face was pale now, the brown hair, "a little longer than other people wore it," tossed helplessly in Stoddard's eyes, because he scarcely could raise his shackled hands to put it right; his russet-brown clothing was torn and grimed, as though with more than one struggle, though it may have been nothing worse than such mishap as his recent fall.
They tumbled out and redded up the place in a hurry, folding away the rugs and linen which Bill, with his grimed fingers, did not dare to touch and stowing them as he directed. A damp fog permeated the cabin. "Single-'anded too, as you may say. 'E's a world's wonder, that man." The children too thought it marvellous when they reached the deck and gazed about them.
"Is that a portrait of the editor?" asked Howard, pointing to a grimed oil-painting, the only relief to the stretch of cracked and streaked white wall except a few ragged maps. "That oh, that is old man Stone the 'great condenser. He's there for a double purpose, as an example of what a journalist should be and as a warning of what a journalist comes to.
A pile of suits, writhed with the wear of men, soiled, crumpled with traffic of streets, with bending of bodies in toil, in eating, in loving perhaps. Grimed living suits. Meyer takes an iron and it steams and it presses hard, it sucks up the grime. It sucks out the life from the suit. The suit is stiff and dead, now, ready to go once more over the body of a man and suck to itself his life.
In deferential silence he saluted the battle grimed newcomer. Battered, panting, bleeding, Harry lunged at the man, gripped him. "Quick where is she? You'll die like a spiked rat. Where?" he roared. The two other Chinamen were kneeling before the Joss. There was a moment's silence, then a strange sound like a cry heard afar off. Harry strode to the little pedestal where the suit of armor stood.
Her tender years forbade hair-splitting and subtle distinctions; the term "accumulated dirt" or "old dirt" had no significance for her. She could not have told why she rejected the Murphy child's thoroughly grimed picture- book, yet herself rolled happily about in a thin coating of mud and dust, but she did both instinctively.
And with such pretty nonsense the two stood together, Dennet in her white cap, short crimson kirtle, little stiff collar, and white bib and apron, holding her bird upside down in one hand, and with the other trying to keep his angry beak from pecking Stephen, who, in his leathern coat and apron, grimed, as well as his crisp black hair, with soot, stood towering above her, stooping to hold out the lustrous wing with one hand while he used his smallest pair of shears with the other to clip the pen-feathers.
It's nearly time to eat. How you have slept." "But I haven't anything to put on," said Andrews, laughing, and waved a bare arm above the bedclothes. "Wait, I'll find something of the old man's. Say, do all Americans have skin so white as that? Look." She put her brown hand, with its grimed and broken nails, on Andrews's arm, that was white with a few silky yellow hairs.
Grimed with blood and dirt the troops reached Washington at five o'clock in the afternoon, the first armed rescuers of the Capital. They were quartered in the magnificent Senate Chamber on the Capitol Hill. The President was immediately confronted by the gravest crisis. The first blood had stained the soil of the only Slave State, which lay between Washington and the loyal North.
