I could not take the paper from her, and it was necessary for her to hold it. I examined the word letter by letter. I gave my opinion of each letter, and I asked her opinion. It was a most illegible word. A good many things interfered with my comprehension of it.
Bridgnorth had kept his lawyer-like presence of mind; and long before Job Legh's almost illegible note was poked at him, he had recapitulated the facts on which Will had to give evidence, and the manner in which he had been pursued, after his ship had taken her leave of the land.
Perhaps it might be of no earthly interest to me; on the other hand, it might contain much I would desire to know. Strange things had happened lately, and I was prepared for all sorts of surprises. A number of the slips of paper were missing and the remainder were so crumpled that the pencil marks were nearly illegible.
I am not an imaginative man, but a faint odor from the paper brought like a flash to my mind the brilliant, mutinous face, radiant with color and life, that I had seen last across a sea of white shoulders and black coats at a reception a few weeks before I went to South America. The writing was the hurried, illegible hand of an author.
Dove in the distance. I mustn't think about being frightened now this is the least I could do, and if I'm terrified all over I must go through with it." Then Daisy wrote a tiny note a little note on half a sheet of paper which she tore out of her copy-book. It was blotted with tears and almost illegible. This was what she said:
Duplicate adjectives also are numerous, as 'shady' and 'umbrageous'; 'unreadable' and 'illegible'; 'unfriendly' and 'inimical'; 'almighty' and 'omnipotent'; 'wholesome' and 'salubrious'; 'unshunnable' and 'inevitable. Occasionally our modern English, not adopting the Latin substantive, has admitted duplicate adjectives; thus 'burden' has not merely 'burdensome' but also 'onerous, while yet 'onus' has found no place with us; 'priest' has 'priestly' and 'sacerdotal'; 'king' has 'kingly, 'regal, which is purely Latin, and 'royal, which is Latin distilled through the French.
The rays of the sun fell opposite to him upon a tomb of the purest, whitest, marble quite covered with illegible hieroglyphics. Whilst he was still engaged in looking at the apparently ancient memorial tablet, he heard suddenly behind him the light rustling of a woman's dress, and when he turned round he gazed with pleasurable surprise into Edith Irwin's pale, fair face.
It abruptly becomes hurried, and at length well-nigh illegible. It is best, I think, that you should have this portion as it comes, unpolished, unamended, unarranged hot, so to speak, from my immediate pencil, instead of cold from my subsequent pen. I shall disguise certain names, but that is all. Friday forenoon, May 5. I don't have to gaze at my cat's-eyes to kill time any more.
"Maybe," suggested O'Rook, "if you open some more o' the pages you'll find a name somewheres." Jack searched as well as the condition of the book would admit of and found at last the name of David Ban , the latter part of the surname being illegible. He also discovered a lump in one place, which, on being cut into, proved to be a lock of golden hair, in perfect preservation.
At half-past ten I got a note from Godfrey written in pencil and almost illegible in which he asked me to go down to see him at once. He said that he was in severe pain and for the time confined to bed. "You're sure," he said, "to have heard a garbled account of what happened, before you get this letter. I want to tell you the facts before I take further action."
