Though his eyes were somewhat deeply shaded by the wide sockets fringed with long eyebrows, they were set, like a kite's eyes, in eyelids so broad, and bordered by so dark a circle sharply defined on his cheek, that they seemed rather prominent.
"As yaller as a kite's claw," is a simile one hears in the country, and it is common to both Hampshire and Worcestershire. I never saw the wheatear in Worcestershire, but here I notice several pairs on the moors in summer.
"I meant nothing unpleasant, Olga," was the apologetic rejoinder. "Of course you didn't. Have you had dinner yet?" "Dinner? Oh yes of course, long ago!" "I know what that means." "'Sh! 'Sh! May I come home and talk a little?" Dinner, it might be feared, was no immutable feature of Mr. Kite's day.
Still, if such gifts were given as she believed, if it was merely a question of being Ethan Vere or Roger Locke ? But I had never seriously considered leaving the adventure. "The heart is a small thing, but desireth great matters. It is not sufficient for a kite's dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it."
"By the mass, not I," answered Sir Piercie Shafton, with his usual indifference. "I but judged of him by his birth and breeding; for seldom doth a good hawk come out of a kite's egg." "Thou art thyself a kite, and kestrel to boot," replied Halbert Glendinning, without a moment's hesitation. "This in our presence, and to a man of worship?" said the Abbot, the blood rushing to his face.
And indeed the morning had grown mirky and grey and threatening, and from far away the thunder growled, and the face of the Kite's Nest showed pale and awful against a dark steely cloud; and a few drops of rain pattered into the smooth water before them from a rag of the cloud-flock right over head.
"And who is this?" she asked, turning to me as the servants brought in candles. "Egad, and you might have asked that before you tried to kiss him! You always did have a pretty choice, Mary! I knew it when you took me! That," says he, pointing to me, "that is the kite's tail!" "But for convenience' sake, perhaps the kite's tail may have a name," retorts Madame Radisson.
Sh! what is that!" A moaning voice from one of the bunks came. "Cheal kegur-men, mas ka dheer!" "A native adage," whispered Stuart. "He is dreaming. 'There is always meat in a kite's nest." "Eh bien! very true and I think the kite is at home!" The head of Ah-Fang-Fu vanished. A moment later the curtains opened again slightly and the old woman came out, ushering the brown man.
For by them we may see with what tender affection God of his great goodness longeth to gather us under the protection of his wings, and how often like a loving hen he clucketh home unto him even those chickens of his that wilfully walk abroad into the kite's danger and will not come at his clucking, but ever, the more he clucketh for them, the farther they go from him.
In the midst of my studies Jerry rushed in, flushed with his long drive in the open air, and threw his great arms around my neck, almost smothering me. "Good old Dry-as-dust! Thought I'd surprise you. Glad to see me? Anything to eat? By George! You're as yellow as a kite's foot. Been reading yourself into a mummy, haven't you?" It was good to see him.
