The young man relapsed into a seat by Sarah's side and swung an immaculately trousered leg. "But look here, Maurice, my boy, why should they leave off buying, eh?" he enquired. "Because," the other explained, "there is a little more wheat in the world than the B. & I. have money for." "I can give you a further reason," Kendrick intervened, "for leaving B. & I.'s severely alone.
Bentinck-Major thought Miss Ronder "queer" because of the clever things that she said and of the odd fashion in which she always dressed. To say anything clever was, with Mrs. Bentinck-Major, at once to be classed as "queer." "It is hot!" Miss Ronder, thin and piky above her stiff white collar, looked immaculately cool. "A lovely day," she said, sniffing the colour and the warmth, and loving it.
As always, he was immaculately dressed in neat gray clothes, and carried in one corner of his mouth an unlighted cigar. "Joe," said Orde, spinning a chair to Newmark's roll-top desk and speaking in a low tone, "just how do we stand on that upper peninsula stumpage?" "What do you mean? How much of it is there? You know that as well as I do about three hundred million." "No; I mean financially."
She herself, after her long, hard day, was as neat and trim as she had been in the morning. Her severe black suit was worn with grace, and hung perfectly; her crape collar was immaculately fresh; her mourning veil fell in charming folds over her hat brim. "It's a pity some one can't tell her," she mused, as she smiled and hurried on to the doubtful seclusion of her own end of the apartment.
If I knew who had given the prize I'd go straight to him," exclaimed Ginny bravely. Uncle Johnny straightened his immaculately gray-trousered legs and laid his straw hat down on the grass. "If that'll help things any I'm he," he explained with a little embarrassment. "You? You? Really Uncle Johnny?" came in an excited chorus. "Yes, me," with a fine scorn for grammar.
One eye was dull and half closed, the other was of a deep, brilliant blue which, so far from suggesting blindness, created the instant effect of a searching, eagle-like glance. The outstretched hand was large, strong, nervous, full of character, ending in well-shaped and immaculately kept nails.
In the centre there was an oasis of green lawn, surrounded by rusty iron railings the height of a man, dotted with elms of considerable age, and streaked with narrow paths of yellow gravel. The surrounding houses represented an eminently respectable appearance, with their immaculately clean steps, white-curtained windows, and neat boxes of flowers.
A short, strong figure was on its feet, gesticulating fiercely; and the head belonging to it was a large one with too much curly black hair, a flat, swarthy face, shiny and not immaculately shaven; there was an impression of ill-chosen clothes, too much fat red lip, too much tooth, too much eyeball.
The good John had scarcely made his leisurely, distinguished appearance at his desk on the morrow, immaculately white, and breathing his customary air of fathomless repose, when I too entered by one door, and Charlie Webster by the other. "Now for the document," we both exclaimed in a breath. "Here it is," he said, taking up a rather grimy-looking roll of foolscap from in front of him.
Saint-Simon, the court chronicler, mentions that the gardens were so immaculately kept that when the Archbishop and "La Belle" Duchesse de Lesdiguières used to promenade therein they were followed by a gardener who, with a rake, sought to remove the traces of each footprint as soon as made. Later, the Cardinal de Beaumont, the persecutor of the Jansenists, resided here.
