Even the one touch of swagger about him, the blue silk kerchief knotted loosely around his neck, lent color to his virile competency. He dragged his horse to a standstill and leaped off at the same instant. "Evenin', 'Lissie." She was busy lacing her shoe and did not look up. He guessed that he was being snubbed and into his eyes came a gleam of fun.
This also he made of caribou rawhide, for caribou shrinks when wet, thus tightening the lacing where other materials would stretch. Above and below the cross-pieces he put in a very fine weaving; between them a coarser, that the loose snow might readily sift through. Each strand he tested again and again; each knot he made doubly sure. Nor must it be imagined that he did these things alone.
My indecision as to the purchase was finally banished when the poultryman asserted that the fowls had clear open centres all over, black lacing entirely round the white centres, were free from white edging, and each had a cherry-red eye.
But Eliza was sitting on the floor, lacing up her own stout boots, and an instant later she followed her brother, pursued by a wail of dismay from the adjoining chamber.
"Faiz-Ullah is shirking as usual," said Polaris, with a scornful grunt. "Faiz-Ullah is eating whip," said Corks. They could hear the leather-thonged polo-quirt lacing the little fellow's well-rounded barrel. Then The Rabbit's shrill neigh came across the ground. "I can't do all the work," he cried, desperately.

I got up, and after dressing myself went down. The morning was exceedingly brilliant. Going out I saw the Italian lacing up his high-lows against a step. I saluted him, and asked him if he was about to depart. "Yes, signore; I shall presently start for Denbigh." "After breakfast I shall start for Bangor," said I. "Do you propose to reach Bangor to-night, signore?" "Yes," said I.
Colonel Clark was here interrupted by such roars and stamping that he paused a moment, and during this interval Mr. Wharton leaned over and whispered quietly in my ear: "Ay, where is it?" I stared at Mr. Wharton blankly. He was a man nearing the middle age, with a lacing of red in his cheeks, a pleasant gray eye, and a singularly quiet manner.
Only I know it was abominable, because Miss Rose was so vexed, and you were her dearest friend. 'Well, and about the looking-glass? 'That was at night, Mr. Harrington, when I was undressing of her. Miss Rose has a beautiful figure, and no need of lacing. But I'd better get down now. 'For heaven's sake, stay where you are.
