In another place the ground was strewn with rugs, broken provisions, empty and half-empty bottles, saddles galore. "'Av a 'oss, guv'nor, 'av a 'oss?" said a dirty-faced, sweaty, but generous Tommy to me, as he led a black Boer steed by the bridle. Not liking to take his capture from him, I went off to where he told me several were standing, and picked out a likely-looking grey.
"The last time was several hundred years ago, it seems," he told himself; "but there's no saying that Satan mightn't come by, for all that. Here's Venus persecuting as lively as ever, and I never heard the devil was dead. I've a good mind to take the tram to the Archway, and walk out till I find a likely-looking place." But, on reflection, he gave this up.
"I'll be 'it' any time you say." "Once is enough," asserted Winnie, entirely unruffled. "Your face is scratchy. Come on, you folks; I'm going to buy you a dinner." And, leading the way into the first likely-looking place, she ordered a comprehensive meal which started with pickles and finished with pie. Her party was a huge success, for it laughed its way from one end of Coney to the other.
All this because Agnes was out in the foyer with a very likely-looking young man. She did not return until the end of that act, and found Bobby ready to go, pleading early morning business. "Is it important?" she asked. "Who's the chap with the silky mustache?" he suddenly demanded, unable to forbear any longer. "He's a new one." The eyes of Agnes gleamed mischievously.
Spin your net so that it shall fall perfectly round, and advance very quietly to the edge, so that your shadow shall not disturb the fish." "Bismillah!" ejaculated Howarti, and he crept cautiously forward to a very likely-looking hole. "Bismillah!" and with a dexterous throw, the net described an exact circle as it fell evenly upon the water.
And so out came Neal Ward, a likely-looking young man of twenty-one or maybe twenty-two a good six feet in height, with a straight leg, a square shoulder, and firm jaw, set like his father's, and clean brown eyes that did not blink.
This was discouraging and we could not account for it. So we moved. About half a mile down the beach I thought I caught a glimpse of a bonefish. It was a likely-looking contrast to the white marl all around. Here I made a long cast and sat down to wait. My brother lagged behind. Presently I spied two bonefish nosing along not ten feet from the shore.
Then we filled our potato pail and went on. But we didn't feel much like walking and decided to lay up in the first likely-looking place that we came to. The whole country is beautifully wooded, so it was not long before we came to a nice bluff. It looked nice and quiet, and we settled ourselves for the day.
On arriving at the market-place, I found them to be a recruiting party of the Royal Artillery, who had already enlisted several likely-looking fellows. The pretty little well-dressed fifer was the principal object of my notice.
Ronleigh having won the toss and elected to go in first, the Wraxby men strolled out of the pavilion to take the field. They were a likely-looking lot of fellows the faded flannel caps and careless way in which they sauntered towards the pitch proclaiming the fact that each one was a veteran player.
