"Don't you think we had better go back a little, Charlie?" Harriet now suggested. "I am afraid you have gotten too far ahead of Ruth for her to follow you." "What has Miss Stuart got Hugh Post and Elmer Wilson with her for, if they can't show her the way to town?" argued the impolite host of the automobile parties. "I think Charlie is right, Harriet. I would not worry," interposed Mrs.
Rufe readjusted his head-gear, and ceasing his impolite researches into the mule's age, came up to the other two boys. Tim had paused by the shed, and leaning upon the rifle, began to talk. "I war a-passin' by, an' I thought I'd drap in on ye." "Hev you-uns hearn from Nate since he hev been gone away?" demanded Birt anxiously. "He hev come home," responded Tim. "When did he git home?"
It is bad manners to point at all, but, if it is absolutely necessary to do so, the forefinger is never employed, but the person or object is indicated, in a sort of shamefaced way, with the thumb. It is impolite to bare a weapon in public, and Europeans often show their ignorance of native etiquette by asking a Malay visitor to let them examine the blade of the kris he is wearing.
I'll send my son on a journey to Kioto. I'll deny myself for the sake of my offspring." Flump! splash! sounded the water, as a pair of webby feet disappeared. The "lion's cub" was soon ready, after much paternal advice, and much counsel to beware of being gobbled up by long-legged storks, and trod on by impolite men, and struck at by bad boys.
And as a consequence Clay's music was always of the lighter sort, and was often more than impolite; while Kettle's was, for the most part, devotional, and all of it sober, staid, and thoughtful. They were a strong contrast, these two, but they pulled together with one another wonderfully.
Toad a bit for being indignant because Peter had watched him change his suit. It wasn't a nice thing to do. Old Mr. Toad had looked very funny while he was struggling out of his old suit, and Peter just couldn't help laughing at him. But he realized that he had been very impolite, and he very meekly told Old Mr. Toad so. "You see, it was this way," explained Peter.
I consider it unfortunate. They may ask me to have the two of you hanged, and it would be impolite to refuse." Hoddan said truculently: "I considered it impolite for your neighbors' retainers to march toward me waving large knives and announcing what they intended to do to my inwards with them!" "Yes," agreed Don Loris impatiently. "I concede that point.
Coon turned out of the lane and crawled through the fence, Fatty squeezed between the rails very nimbly, for him. "Here we are!" said his mother. Fatty looked about him. They stood in a field grown high with tall stalks of some sort, which turned to green, ribbon-like leaves half way up from the ground. Fatty grunted. He was very impolite, you see.
Not since that first evening in Locust Street had it taken on such assurance, And yet she could not be impolite to a guest. "Certainly not," she replied, but without looking up. Eliphalet led the way. He came to the summer house, glanced around it with apparent satisfaction, and put his foot on the moss-grown step. Virginia did a surprising thing.
He turned and walked beside her, suiting his steps to hers, for some moments before replying. "I was not here at all," he said at length, apologetically; "I was far away from you. It was impolite. I am sorry." He intended that she should laugh, and she did so softly. "Where were you?" she inquired, glancing at him beneath her golden lashes. Again he paused.
