They had been half-soled and heeled and my sister had taken them home, with orders what to bring home for supper. The last handful of peat had been put on the fire. The cobbler's bench had been put aside for the night and we gathered closely around the hearth. The town clock struck eight. "What th' h l's kapin' th' hussy!" Jamie said petulantly.
"By Gosh, I wish I had the curst British rascal who played me this trick, on t'other shore if I wouldn't tuck my knife into his b y gizzard, then is my name not Jeremiah Desborough. What the h l's to be done now?"
Here let it be noted that the age of a MS. can easily be discovered; and that, too, in a variety of ways: by the formation of the characters, such as the roundness of the letters; or their largeness or smallness; the writing of the final l's; the use of the Gothic s's and the Gothic j's; the dotting, or no dotting of the i's; the absence or presence of diphthongs; the length of the lines; the punctuation; the accentuation; the form or size; the parchment or the paper; the ink; or some other mode of detection.
She came here the day the L's were killed and Pasha taken away. She made me understand that she is in a new plot to save the Emperor's family. Her task will be to stay here for a while "and make some preparations" and then go farther on.
His father, Arnold Lenorme, descended from an old Norman family, had given him the Christian name of Raoul, which, although outlandish, tolerably fitted the surname, notwithstanding the contiguous l's, objectionable to the fastidious ear of their owner.
To pass one's self as a Leaguer, the "Four L's" had to be given: with right hand raised to heaven, thumb and third finger touching ends over palm, pronounce "Liberty"; bring the hand down over the shoulder and say "Lincoln"; drop the hand open at the side and say "Loyal"; catch the thumb in the vest or in the waistband and pronounce "League."
"In the first place, sir," he began, never raising his eyes from the page, "I have traced the cab sold on the hire-purchase system to a certain Charles Mallett..." "Ha, ha!" laughed Max breezily "he calls me a hammer! It is not Mallett, Sergeant Sowerby you have got too many l's in that name; it is Malet and is called like one from the Malay States!" "Oh," commented Sowerby, glancing up "indeed.
A dreadful American man once told me that my aunt was a Bluebell and that I was a Harebell with two l's and an e because my hair is so thick. I warn you, so that you may avoid making such a bad pun." "Do I look like a man who makes puns?" I asked, being very conscious of my melancholy face and sad looks. Miss Lammas eyed me critically. "No; you have a mournful temperament.
She was guided by the friendly trail signs those big red R's and L's on fence post and telephone pole, magically telling the way from the Mississippi to the Pacific. Her father's occasional musing talk kept her from loneliness. He was a good touring companion. Motoring is not the best occasion for epigrams, satire, and the Good One You Got Off at the Lambs' Club last night.
Turner made up for his surname by the superfluity of "l's" in his William Mallord, Raphael starts as an R. A., while Michael Angelo, with his predominance in "l's," is rightly king of art. The absence of "l" in Hogarth's name and the strong presence of "r" of course denotes that the satirist was more of a literary man than an artist.
