The jackal I wish to heaven we could keep him out of our talk, but, for cause unknown, he persistently obtrudes himself he invariably does so when I'm hipped and edgy well, you see, he was an unappreciated genius in the way of a dramatist, from which fact I derived first-hand acquaintance with the habits of the species. What I don't know about those animals is not worth knowing.
When a great battle has been lost or a dear friend is dead, when we are hipped or in high spirits, there they are, unweariedly shining overhead. We may stand down here, a whole army of us together, and shout until we break our hearts, and not a whisper reaches them. We may climb the highest mountain, and we are no nearer them.
Whether hypt and hipped have mortally wounded each other or are still fighting in the dark may be open to discussion: hyppish has now a fair field, and if people would know what the word means, it might be restored, like nesh, to useful domestic activity. The example given of the word fast on p. 12 suggests another matter to which attention might be paid.
Both have hipped roofs so low as to be almost flat. A splendid example of the gable roof or pedimental porch more typical of Philadelphia architecture is that at Upsala. Although displaying free use of the orders, it is regarded as one of the best in America.
It is a large square structure, two and a half stories in height, with a hipped roof rising above a handsome cornice with prominent modillions and surmounted by a balustraded belvedere. Two large chimneys, much nearer together than is ordinarily the case, emerge within the inclosed area of the belvedere deck.
"They did the pair of 'em. It goes against a man's stomach, too, being chased by a bird." "To me," said the Lord Proprietor, "it is gratifying evidence that they are recovering their spirits, which were hipped after the long voyage from Cape Town. But here, in the Gulf Stream, my theory is that we can acclimatise almost anything, animal or vegetable.
"No; but he is too weak yet, and is hipped and morbid." "Well, Phil, I would not put it into his head. No doubt you would take very good care of him, but I doubt whether your father would like the Bishop to hear of him under the circumstances going to disport himself at the dragoon mess. Besides, I don't think he will be well enough before Lent, and then of course he could not."
When he reached his fishing-place, he heard a voice singing "Man with the leg tied up, Man with the leg tied up, Broken hip hip Hipped. Man with the leg tied up, Man with the leg tied up, Broken leg leg Legged." He looked round but saw no one, so he suspected the words were sung by his enemies the buffaloes, and hastened home.
"I shall pay you for the price of the wife, of the two wives. There is Bubu. For half a case of tobacco shall I buy her for you. She is broad and square, round-legged, broad- hipped, with generous breasts of richness. There is Nena. Her father sets a stiff price upon her a whole case of tobacco. I will buy her for you as well. Your time is short. We must hurry."
Looking forth with observant eyes, Candace noted how the houses, which at first were of the last-century build, with hipped roofs and dormer windows like those to which she was accustomed in the old hill village that had been her birthplace, gave way to modernized old houses with recent additions, and then to houses which were unmistakably new, and exhibited all manner of queer peaks and pinnacles and projections, shingled, painted in divers colors, and broken by windows of oddly tinted glass.
