No doubt your servant is bringing it. Can I be of any assistance to you?" The man thoughtfully twirled one end of his moustache. It was an appalling fault in demeanour; but the man was proud of his moustache. "The first human being I've met here!" thought Edward Henry, attracted too by a gleam in the eye of this eternal haunter of corridors. "His servant!"
He knew that a ten-minutes' conversation in the wings with the substance would send the elusive haunter scurrying fearfully away into some other even less accessible mask-figure. She was a blonde, a brunette, tall, petite, svelte, straight-featured, full, curvilinear. Only one quality remained unalterable: her instability of tenure. In Borne's phrase, nothing was permanent in her but change.
In other words he would never have made a yachtsman, a creature shifting from Keil to Cowes and Cowes to Naples according to season, a cup gatherer and club-house haunter. But Exploration gave him the incentive and the Musée Océanographique of Monaco his inspiration, limitless wealth supplied the means.
"The black beetle; the humble but brisk haunter of household crevices," explained Average Jones. "You advertised for ten thousand specimens. I've got a few thousand I'd like to dispose of, if the inducements are sufficient." "I'm in no mood for joking, young man," retorted the other, rising. "You seldom are, I understand," replied Average Jones blandly.
Such, or of a similar kind, is the torment of those who seek to enjoy pictures in an uncongenial mood. Every haunter of picture galleries, we should imagine, must have experienced it, in greater or less degree; Hilda never till now, but now most bitterly.
Fortunately for himself and for the happiness of our homes, the Swallow gulps them all down indiscriminately, together with a host of other insects that perform aerial ballets. What would become of the Lark were his gizzard able to digest only one seed, invariably the same? When the season for this seed was over and the season is always a short one the haunter of the furrows would perish.
It was a sorely agitated young man that stepped off the 'bus and struck up Palace Gardens. Of his Mary. Excursions In The Memory Of A Heroine. AS that cab swung round the corner bearing away the nameless haunter of George's dreams, she to the red wrath beside her turned, and, "Oh, Mrs. Chater," she said, "I hope you are not hurt!" By a mercy Mrs. Chater was not hurt.
Now Grettir came to Deildar-Tongue, and there was a woman without the door; Grettir went up to talk to her, and sang this stave "Say to guard of deep-sea's flame That here worm-land's haunter came; Well-born goddess of red gold, Thus let gamesome rhyme be told. 'Giver forth of Odin's mead Of thy black mare have I need; For to Gilsbank will I ride, Meed of my rash words to bide."
The Blackport Beacon had two London correspondents one a supposed haunter of political circles, the other a votary of questions sketchily classified as literary. They were both expected to be lively, and what was held out to each was that it was honourably open to him to be livelier than the other.
It is a voice of ecstatic song coming down from the upper air and through the mist and the darkness the spirit of the swamp and the marsh climbing heavenward and pouring out its joy in a wild burst of lyric melody; a haunter of the muck and a prober of the mud suddenly transformed into a bird that soars and circles and warbles like a lark hidden or half hidden in the depths of the twilight sky.
