Geraldine had it on her tongue's end that Alice would be difficult, for want of anything distinctive, but Felix and Edgar were both jotting something down, and Robina was before-hand with either 'Scarlet pimpernel, tortoiseshell butterfly, budgerigar, marmoset. No one answered, for Felix had pushed a slip of paper over to Alice, on which she read "'Forget-me-not, ladybird, linnet, kitten."
If he was himself an author, as an astonishing number of his contemporaries actually were, he might spend the time in preparing a speech, composing some non-committal epic or drama, jotting down memoranda for a history, or concocting an epigram or satire to embody his humorous fancies or to relieve his exasperation.
They are peaked and gable-ended to an extraordinary degree, so that the general aspect of the city is confused and irregular all the more interesting and picturesque on this account. A thought strikes me here, and when a thought strikes one, I think we ought always to pay that thought the compliment of jotting it down.
Dad kept on jotting down figures of men and 50-mm guns and vehicles and auto weapons we had available. He was still doing it when the fire alarm started. The moaner went on for thirty seconds, like a banshee mourning its nearest and dearest. It was everywhere, Main City Level and the four levels below.
She was simply possessed by an indignant feminine impatience to think that Terabon had escaped, and she was angry when she had only that glimpse of him, as with his notebook in hand he raced his pencil across the blank pages, jotting down the details and the hasty, essential impressions as he caught them. She heard the exodus. She heard women sobbing and men gasping as they swore and fled.
One day when the Prince was at the depot "making the train" with his notebook in his hand, jotting down the names of the people who got on or off the cars, the general superintendent saw him, and called the youth to his car. "Well, kid," said the most worshipful one in his teasingest voice, "What's the latest news at the general offices to-day?"
Our greater poet did not take trouble enough to make them individual, his fancy carrying him otherwhere, and leaving him scarce the time to put his jotting down. To Shakspeare the great ideals whom he almost alone has been able to make into flesh and blood; to Scott all the surrounding world, the men as we meet them about the common thoroughfares of life.
"I cannot go to Carlton House," the Duke answered sadly, "though I dare say George would be glad enough to see me. We always had a great deal in common, but all that is of no use. The Fitz does not like me and she is ruling the roost there again." "Well," said Wargrove, quaintly, "I shall be jotting down the provisions of my last will and testament as we are jogging along southward."
Tom pored over the big map, jotting down assignments and stumblingly dictated brief letters which Miss Ellison's readier skill turned out in improved form. He was sorry that it was not Friday so that he might go to troop meeting that night. It was only Tuesday and so there were three long, barren nights ahead of him, and to him they seemed like twenty nights.
It was said that another lady, finding the natives were in the habit of going about without clothes, booked a return passage by the next ship. Here is a jotting at this same landing place of the Prince and Princess going off to the Guard Ship, but I am so sorry it is not reproduced in colour. They were to have gone to the Caves of Elephanta across the bay, but had not time.
