The long-nosed lad, with weak eyes and sloping shoulders, who sat on the other side of the table on Mr. Swindles' left, was everybody's laughing-stock, especially Mr. Swindles', who did not cease to poke fun at him. Mr. Swindles was now telling poor Jim's misadventures with the Gaffer. "But why do you call him Mr. Leopold when his name is Mr. Randal?" Esther ventured to inquire of the Demon.
When I looked again at the other table, the long-nosed man was gone. It was as if he had simply melted away. "Who was the man sitting there?" I asked the woman of the cabaret. "I don't know, Monsieur. He arrived here this morning. I never saw him before to-day." In the evening I went back to Montoire, no nearer the solution of my problem than before.
I thought of climbing it, to see over the wall. But just as I had formed my resolution, I happened to glance over the fields and see a man strolling idly along near the edge of the moat. As he came nearer, I recognized him as the long-nosed gentleman in the brown doublet and hose. He saw me, and gazed, in his absent way, with a momentary curiosity.
How delightful Mionoseki now seems, drowsing far off there under its blue tiles at the feet of the holy hills! immemorial Mionoseki, with its lamps and lions of stone, and its god who hates eggs! pretty fantastic Mionoseki, where all things, save the schools, are medieval still: the high-pooped junks, and the long-nosed boats, and the plaintive chants of oarsmen!
He could worm with a smile quite his own the humour out of men possessing any; and even under rigorous law, and it could not be disputed that there was rigour in the beneficent laws imposed upon him by his wife, his genius for humour and passion for sly independence came up and curled away like the smoke of the illicit still, wherein the fanciful discern fine sprites indulging in luxurious grimaces at a government long-nosed to no purpose.
Were you doing that shooting?" demanded Charley's father, as they approached. "What did you see?" "A big bear," wheezed Charley. "But we found the mine the Golden West. And the long-nosed man took it away from us." "There are three of 'em," joined in Billy. "They pointed guns at us and made us get out." "Where?" "Up there on top of the ridge.
Would the disciple rend his master? Have I not told you that Capella will bring that knowledge with him from Naples? I have hopes even of your long-nosed friend, Holden, giving us all the details we need." "What did the murderer steal from Sir Alan's writing-desk, from the drawer broken open before the blow was struck?" Smith entered, bearing a chicken. "The motive, Winter!
Honoré but that excellent spy of Sully's, Monsieur de Pepicot? I begged him to come into a tavern. "There is something you owe me," said I, when we were seated; "an account of how you got out of the Chateau de Lavardin that night without leaving any trace." "It was nothing," said the long-nosed man meekly.
And here were he and his partners, stranded at the very beginning of their journey across to the Pacific! That had been a mean trick by the long-nosed man. Charley grew hot with anger. "I should think Maria and Francisco would have waked up," he complained. "They're awake by this time, and considerably surprised, too," answered Mr. Grigsby.
The Teljuga is the boundary stream between Tirhoot and Bhaugulpore, and its sluggish muddy waters teem with alligators the regular square-nosed mugger, the terrible man-eater. The nakar or long-nosed species may be seen in countless numbers in any of the large streams, stretched out on the banks basking in the noonday sun.
