Hastily improvising a flag, he responded. Twenty minutes later, Mrs. Thayne, still nervously sewing, heard Mr. Fisher run up the steps and Estelle hurry to the door. A few brief seconds sufficed to give the explanation Roger had so painstakingly signaled. "I didn't stop to rescue him, Mrs. Thayne," explained Mr.
I have discovered that that picture between the windows hangs to one side, and the table-cover is longer at the back than in the front. That bottle casts a shadow just like a man's face and " "Oh, come!" I broke in, "you are improvising as you go along. You would not look so rosy and good-humored if you had been lying awake all that time.
It is like listening to a person who, improvising on the piano, makes unexpected and subtle modulations which you hate to have escape you. He told me he had been in correspondence with an English lady for over thirty years. "Were you in love with her, that you wrote to her all those years?" I inquired. "I was in love with her letters," he replied.
"Improvising my own wireless," he replied, not averse to talking to the young man to whom he seemed to have taken a fancy. "For short distances, you know, it isn't necessary to construct an aerial pole or even to use outside wires to receive messages. All that is needed is to use just a few wires stretched inside a room. The rest is just the apparatus." I was quite as much interested as Waldon.
There was a talk of their going on to Switzerland," continued Hedges, improvising the journey, "and so coming back through Germany; and there was a talk of their making Italy before the heat came on, and stopping there. Any way, sir, I dare say they are already away from Paris." The stranger regarded Hedges attentively, rather to the discomfiture of that functionary, who thought he was doubted.
Kaya quivered a moment: "I am Russian," she said, "I am an exile. Don't ask, Monsieur not here! I am I am afraid." The Kapellmeister went on improvising arpeggios on the piano as if he had not heard. He seemed to be pondering. "That name " he said, "Pou Poussin! Someone called on me the other day of that name. I remember it, because when I came in she was gone. Was it you?" The girl stood silent.
This impossibility of improvising libraries is really an important and curious thing; and since it is apt to be overlooked, owing to the facility of buying books, in quantities generally far beyond the available means of any ordinary buyer, it seems worthy of some special consideration. A man who sets to to form a library will go on swimmingly for a short way.
"Yours is the next place he has promised to take me to supper. And Bud and Eliza have both invited me." "I'll set a day with him this very night," responded Mrs. Judy, all undone with pride. Nothing in the world could have pleased the hospitable country women more than the parties that Doctor Tom had been improvising for the amusement of the singer girl.
But the older styles continued after a fashion, or underwent slight changes, before the novel of purely ordinary life, on a plan midway between Scott and Miss Austen, triumphed in the middle of the century. Some of Hook's political squibs and light verses still retain attraction; and the tradition of his extraordinary faculties in improvising both words, music, and dramatic arrangement remains.
With cool blood and a tranquil mind there is no improvising and poetizing. With me all must be stirring and flaming, every nerve of my being must glow and tremble, the blood must flash like fire through my veins, and the most glowing wishes and ardent longings, be it love or be it hate, must be stirring within me in order to poetize successfully.
