Leaner, browner, a little too stern, perhaps, about the mouth and eyes, a gypsy of greater energy and resource than when he had struck recklessly into the Glades with the music-machine he had since exchanged for an Indian wagon, Philip camped and smoked and hunted with the skill and gravity of an Indian.
But this would be too harsh; and, besides, Lord Byron's morals have been improving while his outward man has swollen to such unconscionable circumference. Would that he were leaner; for, though he did me the honor to present his hand, yet it was so puffed out with alien substance that I could not feel as if I had touched the hand that wrote Childe Harold.
My unlucky companions having lost their reason, felt neither anxiety nor fear, and ate greedily all that was offered them. So they were soon fat and there was an end of them, but I grew leaner day by day, for I ate but little, and even that little did me no good by reason of my fear of what lay before me.
His ivory leg had been snapped off, leaving but one short sharp splinter. "Aye, aye, Starbuck, 'tis sweet to lean sometimes, be the leaner who he will; and would old Ahab had leaned oftener than he has." "The ferrule has not stood, sir," said the carpenter, now coming up; I put good work into that leg." "But no bones broken, sir, I hope," said Stubb with true concern.
But I ain't a damn' bit afraid to say I could lick a half dozen of these here hicks that used to have a reputation in these parts. Fairy tales; that's wot they are!" He swigged his drink and sucked in his breath with vast self-satisfaction. The other man, of a leaner, quieter, but just as villainous a type, grinned at him. "Oh, I don't know," he said.
"Will you give it to me?" "Yes." "It is well; and now I will tell you something that you don't know yet. Our father, Kauaitshe, is fasting." "He is right," Shotaye remarked; "it will make him leaner." Both laughed, but Hayoue said with greater earnestness, "Tyame is doing penance also." "Then he is with his woman from Shyuamo," flippantly observed Shotaye; "it will make Turquoises cheaper."
And they were going to school, and school-books cost money. And somehow, the faster he worked, the faster climbed the prices of things. Even the rent went up, though the house had fallen from bad to worse disrepair. He had grown taller; but with his increased height he seemed leaner than ever. Also, he was more nervous. With the nervousness increased his peevishness and irritability.
The Kuzaks looked leaner and tougher, now, and there were plenty of present difficulties to worry them. Joe Kuzak hurried out to argue with the miners at the raw metal receiving bins and at the store bubbs. Art stayed to explain the present situation. "Three big loads of supplies were shipped through to us from the Moon," he growled. "We did fine, trading for metal.
We peep in, the Colonel, a lean Don Quixote on a leaner Rosinante, dashes up to us with a weak attempt at a canter; he courteously invites us to come in and see all that is to be seen, and, lo! our friend the Major, quite gallant in his sword and scarlet jacket, is detailed for our service.
No shots between wind and water, eh? You have not been hulled, nor raked, nor laid aboard of? 'None of these things, said I, laughing. 'Faith! you are leaner than of old, and have aged ten years in two months.
