She was a long, lean, pale person, habited apparently in a dull-colored dressing gown, and she spoke with a kind of mild literalness. Prest, and we stood face to face in the empty pompous hall. "Well then, would you kindly tell me to whom I must address myself? I'm afraid you'll think me odiously intrusive, but you know I MUST have a garden upon my honor I must!"
"Are you sorry Sister's getting well, old man?" asked Boy Comfort. "My name isn't 'old man. It's 'grandfather' or else 'Mr. Brun," said the librarian, laughing and looking at Ellen, who blushed. "Are you sorry Sister's getting well, grandfather?" repeated the boy with a funny, pedantic literalness. "And why should I be sorry for that, you little stupid?" "Because you've got to give money!"
No acceleration from hell well, that was debatable. But no thrust from the hellmaker was not a debatable point. The Cow wasn't likely to be wrong, though her appalling literalness was such that an improperly phrased question might make her seem to be.
Each house in this poor man's purgatory was, indeed, and in awful literalness, a brick box with a slate top to it. Every hole drilled in these boxes, whether door-hole or window-hole, was always overflowing with children. They often mustered by forties and fifties in one street, and were the great pervading feature of the quarter.
Here, as in the Georgics, Cato and Varro live in Virgil, but with far less of narrow literalness, with far more of rich enthusiasm.
"I will talk about it," Edgar answered, though smiling again Leam wished he would not smile so often a little aghast at her literalness, and saying to himself in warning that he must be careful of what he said to Leam Dundas. It was evident that she did not understand either badinage or a joke. But her very earnestness pleased him for all its oddity.
She was almost discordant in her literalness, in her clear olive tints and the kol smudges under her eyes, the string of coins in the mass of her fallen hair, and her unfettered body. Beside her the slave-girls, crouching, looked like painted shells.
He called himself sixty on the books." "Sixty's a good age for some kinds of living. And age is of course purely subjective. How has he used his sixty years?" "Well part of them in educating himself, apparently. He's a scholar humanities, languages, and so forth." "Oh decayed gentleman," Bernald murmured, disappointed. "Decayed? Not much!" cried the doctor with his accustomed literalness.
"But but surely you haven't been walking the roads?" There was genuine horror in his tones. "Where did you come from this morning when you found me?" "From Hess's farm, back up the road a piece," she replied with her usual unemotional literalness. "I been there a week, but I didn't like it, so I came away. The welfare workers got me that place when my time was up." Her time!
It is made probable by what man is, which is the same as saying that there are, from considerations above mentioned, probabilities in its favor. It has been the habit of pious souls to attempt to understand and describe this life, and many are the volumes which proceed upon the literalness of the Bible descriptions.
