But folk said it was queer she should keep on Socknersh when he had done her such a lot of harm they made sure there must be something behind it. For the first time Joanna caught a glimpse of his shortcomings as a looker, and in a moment of vision asked herself if it wasn't really true that he ought to have known about that dip.
Eglin and one Looker, a famous gardener, servant to my Lord Salsbury, and among other things the gardener told a strange passage in good earnest . . . . Home to dinner, and then went to my Lord's lodgings to my turret there and took away most of my books, and sent them home by my maid. Thither came Capt. Holland to me who took me to the Half Moon tavern and Mr. Southorne, Blackburne's clerk.
No doubt, I might have laughed at it, had I been a mere looker on herald or spectator; but, unfortunately, being a principal in this deadly duello a real wrestler in the backwoods arena the provocative to mirth was given in vain; and only served to heighten the solemnity of the situation.
We'd have paid handsomely for any one to take him off our hands for keeps. We had to get rid of him, and we couldn't give him away, for that would have been suspicious. But he was such a fine looker that we never had any difficulty in selling him. "Unbroke," we'd say, and they'd pay any old price for him. We sold him as low as twenty-five dollars, and once we got a hundred and fifty for him.
"Do you think he's a pretty good looker, ma'am?" "I think he is handsome!" Again the girl blushed. And again Linton grinned. He cleared his throat before he again spoke: "Well," he drawled; "mebbe I wouldn't go that far. Mostly I don't care for a handsome man, anyway. I wouldn't say he's ugly, an' I won't say he's handsome. I'd light on a spot about halfway between them two extremes.
"Ant!" said Hannibal. John's grin widened. "Boys," he said, "you've got one swell looker in the family, anyway, and you ought to be glad of that." The boys exchanged glances. Hannibal had upon his desk a pen-wiper which consisted of a small sponge heavy with the ink of wiped pens. Hamilton had beneath his desk an odd rubber boot which served him as a scrap-basket.
"I aim to settle down and quit my roamin', John." "And your marrying, too, I hope, you old rascal!" "Yes, this one will be my last, I reckon. I don't mind, though; I've had doin's enough with women in my day." "Is she a good looker, Dad?" "Well, I've seen purtier ones and I've seen uglier ones, John. No, she ain't what you might call stylish, I guess, but she's all right for me.
As the couple paused in whirring past Breckon long enough to let Lottie make her hat fast against the wind, he heard the Englishman shout: "I say, that sister of yours is a fine girl, isn't she?" "She's a pretty good looker," Lottie answered back. "What's the matter with HER sister?"
He rummaged in the big drawer under the bench and soon produced the iron, which he then proceeded to heat over a gas flame. "While that iron's heating, I might as well follow Jimmy's example and rest," said Bob, throwing himself down on the sofa. "I've been thinking we haven't heard much lately of Buck Looker or any of his gang. Has anybody heard what he's up to now?"
"There's plenty of plain ones, if the newspapers ain't lyin'," said Johnson, opening his home paper at the society page and revealing three emaciated damsels, clad in extremely short skirts, and with huge bird cages over their ears. "Not that Miss Polly's like them," he added, generously. "She's a looker and a lady, too. I like her." "That's lucky, Tom," remarked Scott.
