So she took and dusted us both with the hickry, and we was as much as two hours catching another fifteen or sixteen, drat that meddlesome cub, and they warn't the likeliest, nuther, because the first haul was the pick of the flock. I never see a likelier lot of rats than what that first haul was.
A more concentrated, hectic, and volatile essence sent up stalks, blades, and sprays, with that direction and restraint which perfection needs. More than in a likelier and fecund spot, in this valley the ichor showed the ardour and flush of its early vitality. Even now it could shape like this, and give these dyes! Chosen by an earth astringent and tonic, the forms were few and personal.
Morris said in her letter to me that her eyes are black! 'H'm. Mrs. Morris must have made a mistake nothing likelier. 'She didn't. 'They might be either in this photograph, said Owen, looking at the card bearing Mrs. Manston's name. 'Blue eyes would scarcely photograph so deep in tone as that, said Cytherea. 'No, they seem black here, certainly.
In short the self-appointed apostle of uplift, who disregarding individual character would make virtue a matter of statute law and ordain uniformity of conduct by act of conventicle or assembly, is likelier to produce moral chaos than to reach the sublime state he claims to seek. The bare suggestion is full of startling possibilities.
Mrs Rhymer, who, as we have seen, was likelier than anyone to recognize it, would not swear it was the green purse that had been in Mrs Duncomb's black box. There was, however, no doubt at all about the tankard. It had the initials ``C. D. engraved upon it, and was at once identified as Mrs Duncomb's.
'Leave ill alone! said Barndale, pulling solemnly away at his pipe. 'I can't, answered Leland. 'That cove's likelier to murder her than not, if he hasn't got me to murder. Look here, Billy, I'll marry the girl. 'Don't be a fool, said Barndale. 'What do you know about the girl? 'Lots, answered the imperturbable James. 'Highly connected. Lots of tin. Character irreproachable.
Or, as I thought it likelier, was this a waif from the disaster of the foreign brig was this shoe-buckle bought but the other day and worn by a man of my own period in the world's history, hearing the same news from day to day, thinking the same thoughts, praying, perhaps, in the same temple with myself?
It had never had its full complement, as so many who might have gone to swell it were fighting in the ranks before Sebastopol, or in hospital at Balaklava, cholera-stricken perhaps; or, nominally, waiting till resurrection-time in the cemetery there, or by the Alma, for the grass of a new year to cover them in; but maybe actually and likelier too in some strange inconceivable Hades; poor cold ghosts in the dark, marvelling at the crass stupidity of Cain, and even throwing doubts on "glory."
There was no such thing as embarrassment in her manner, no trace of misgiving that she would not move properly in the affair. Knowing Nick as I did, the difficulty of the task appalled me, for no man was likelier than he to fly off at a misplaced word. Her beginning was so bold that I held my breath, knowing full well as I did that she had chosen the very note. "Sit down, Mr. Temple," she said.
"The chemist? Foreman of the jury?" "Yes, sir." "From appearances, he is a likelier candidate than either Elkin or Tomlin. Anybody else?" "I shouldn't be far wrong if I gave you the name of most among the young unmarried men in the parish." "Dear me! I must have a peep at this charmer. But I want those names, Robinson." Winter produced a note-book, so he was evidently taking the matter seriously.
