She had come off the train tired and gritty, and what seemed the general out-of-jointness of the world was entirely due, she decided, to the fact that she had not had a bath and that her hair was all anyhow. She felt suddenly tranquil. If it was merely her grubby and dishevelled condition that made Gerald seem to her so different, all was well.
'You must let me caddie for you, old man, he said. 'I know your temperament so exactly. I know how little it takes to put you off your stroke. In an ordinary game you might take one of these boys, I know, but on an important occasion like this you must not risk it. A grubby boy, probably with a squint, would almost certainly get on your nerves. He might even make comments on the game, or whistle.
Anyhow, I'm much obliged to you." He held out a grubby paw and shook the now very much embarrassed Derrick by the hand. "Of course, I'm going to raise your screw. We'll say, double it, and no palaver." Derrick expressed his thanks, but Mr. Bloxford waved him away. "As for that pig Jackman, we'll fire him out, of course."
And besides, I expect to build on Grant Avenue myself." "And leave here?" "Oh, it's too grubby, it's in the slums," said Nancy. "But I really owe you a debt of gratitude, Hugh, for the Scherers." "I'm told Adolf's lost his head over you." "It's not only over me, but over everything.
"They seem to spend their silly little lives getting in each other's way," said the eldest boy, "Rights and laws and regulations and rascalities; it's like a game of spellicans.... Well, anyhow, they'll have to live in their grubby, dirty, silly little houses for a bit longer. It's very evident we can't go on with this."
"What is the matter with your clothes?" asked Susanna, casting a maternal eye over him while she pulled him down here and up there, with anxious disapproving glances. "You look so patched, and wrinkled, and grubby." "Aunt Louisa and father make me keep my best to put on for you, if you should come. I clean up and dress every afternoon at train time, only I forgot today and came fishing."
"I hope you'll excuse my not standing up," he said, "I've sprained my ankle." "I'd like to get in and sit beside you if I may," said Miss Rutherford. "Now for the food." "There's some cold tongue," said Frank. "Capital. I love cold tongue." "But I'm afraid " He fished it out from beneath the thwart, " it may be rather grubby." "I don't mind that a bit."
He knew that it was dangerous to have any share in the little box when working or dormant; for unsought Love is a terrible gift. Pack "Grubby" Pack, as we used to call him was, in every way, a nasty little man who must have crawled into the Army by mistake. He was three inches taller than his sword, but not half so strong. And the sword was a fifty-shilling, tailor-made one.
Though I knew Pete Willets as a quiet, gentle shoemaker in whom seemed no guile, I wanted to be alone to think and read and write. Wednesday noon Pete Willets drove up, accompanied by a grubby Woman whom at first glance I did not relish. "Hello, Johnnie, Frank said we could use the shack for a day or two."
Volsky's face, she wanted to see a light dawn in Ella's great eyes, she wanted to whisper a message of of life, almost into Lily's tiny useless ear. And, most of all, she wanted to feel Bennie's warm, grubby little fingers touching her hand! Jim she hoped that Jim would be out when she arrived. She did not want to have Jim throw cold water upon her plans which did not include him.
