As he scrutinized the likeness of his callow self, he gave way to laughter, his first spontaneous expression of feeling since he entered the room. "Upon my word, Persis," he cried gaily, using her name for the first time and seemingly unconscious that he had done so. "It's been extremely charitable of you to give this jay house-room for so long."
True, they might offer me house-room I do not say they wouldn't but I do not care for putting myself in the way of being refused." "Then," said I, "I don't think a convent is very much in my way just at present. I will push on for Pollensa too." And so thither we went together, covering the short distance to Alcudia on the afternoon of next day.
They paused there, and rested, while Joseph pointed out the places of sacred renown; then they went down into the valley to the well which was the scene of one of the marvellous exploits of David's strong men. The narrow space was crowded with people and animals. A fear came upon Joseph a fear lest, if the town were so thronged, there might not be house-room for the gentle Mary.
"Made out of fencing, ain't it? Why, I like it first-rate. Maybe I haven't kicked my bare heels on just such a fence many a time!" So had the clerk, but refrained from confession. "Buying it?" asked George. "No; house-room," responded the clerk, with a motion toward Jared. "Yours?" asked the drummer. "Yes, sir; I painted it." "Frame your idea, too?" "Yes." "From the country, I suppose?" "Yes."
"Let us have our talk first," he pleaded. "I don't want anything to eat until I know until I feel that you don't grudge it." "Oh, I don't grudge it," she took him literally. "Not one square meal, at any rate. The only thing I am obliged to grudge is house-room for any length of time to single gentlemen. But that is not a question of hospitality, as you know. Sit down, and tell me all the news."

The good man knows where his comforts are, and whence they come. Why, supposing that you had never gone into his wife's cupboard and stalked out of it again, would he at this day have been snug upon the bench, with house-room at the Villa San Giorgio?" Here was something strange. "At the Villa San Giorgio?" I echoed with astonishment. "Is Donna Giulia then ?" Sir John looked sly.
Though what precise trouble it lay in John Massingbird's power to give him, he did not see, considering that things were now so plain. "You'll accord me house-room for a bit longer, though, won't you?" "I will accord it you as long as you like," replied Lionel, in the warmth of his heart. "You know I would have had you stop on here all along," remarked Mr.
The town office of the Blue Jay was just across the street, and he took her there and begged house-room and a chair for her, making an excuse that he must go and see to the brake-mending. But once outside he promptly stultified himself, letting the repairs take care of themselves while he went in search of one Jud Byers. The deputy sheriff was not hard to find.
And as for those who were dull and listless because of their many torments of the last ten years, they would at least fetch and carry willingly for them of the kindreds; and these last grudged them not meat and raiment and house-room, even if they wrought but little for it, because they called to mind the evil days of their thralldom, and bethought them how few are men's days upon the earth.
