"There aren't near so many hunchy places in mine." "Well, I don't care; my mother's the best-looking, if her book-mark isn't!" in triumph. "Her hair curls, and she doesn't have to wear glasses." Margaret's wrath had flamed up hotly. Mother's eyes were so shiny and tender behind the glasses, and her smooth brown hair was so soft! The love in Margaret's soul arose and took up arms for Mother.
I'm a little hunchy villain and a monster, am I, Mrs Jiniwin? Oh! The pleasure of this discovery called up the old doglike smile in full force. When he had quite done with it, he shook himself in a very doglike manner, and rejoined the ladies.
"Look at poor little Bing puffin' about," said his neighbour, pointing to a weazened, hunchy waiter. "His asthma's awf'ly bad; you can hear him wheezin' from the street." He seemed amused. "There 's no such thing as moral asthma, I suppose?" said Shelton. His neighbour dropped his eyeglass. "Here, take this away; it's overdone;" said he. "Bring me some lamb." Shelton pushed his table back.
What perfection of grace she seemed after the waddling, hunchy Muskrat and the quick but lumbering Mink. There is nothing more supple and elegant than a fine Cat, and men of science the world over have taken the Cat as the standard of perfection in animal make-up. Pussy glanced about for danger. She had brought no bird or Mouse, for the Kittens were yet too young for such training.
Then Molly tried to make him a new pair out of a sack of her own; but she cut both sides for the same leg, so one was wrong side out. Fondly hoping no one would observe it, she sewed bright buttons wherever they could be put, and sent confiding Boo away in a pair of blue trousers, which were absurdly hunchy behind and buttony before.
When I'd got that I asks the time of the next uptown boat, and makes a deal with one of them ferry hawks to back his chariot up near the express office door and be ready to make a swift move for the gangplank. Then me and Hunchy fakes up this little billy ducks to Mr. Hinkey Tolliver, tellin' him to chase to the nearest 'phone and call up the gent that Mr. Robert had put me wise to.
She saw the handwriting and recognised it, but yet she finished cutting the bread. "Lucy, do give me that hunchy bit," said Nina. "Hunchy is not in the dictionary," said Cecilia. "I want it in my plate, and not in the dictionary," said Nina. Lucy did as she was asked, but her hand trembled as she gave the hunch, and Lady Fawn saw that her face was crimson.
Fer shore they've been told thet." "No. Wiggate can do the telling. All I want is to find Lucy and send her back home, then buy our outfit and rustle." "Sounds pretty. But I begin to feel hunchy myself. Let's have a drink, Pan." "We're not drinking, cowboy," retorted Pan. "Ain't we? Excuse me. Shore I figgered a good stiff drink would help some. I tell you I've begun to get hunches." "What kind?"
It's riding at his heels I'll be, henceforth and forevermore." Turning, Weldon looked long into the jovial Irish face, and at the hunchy figure that joggled to and fro in the saddle, with no heed to the rhythm of his horse's pace. "Who taught you to ride, Paddy?" he asked at length. For an instant, a lump in Paddy's left cheek betrayed the whereabouts of his tongue.
