Looloo, who alone seemed the least bit awed by the presence of her dazzling cousin, undertook to explain. "She's Mamie Willis, Cally, I don't believe you know her. Well, you see she's always making the most atrocious puns, and is very proud of them thinks she's quite a wit. So, you see, when anybody makes an awfully bad pun, like Hen's "
We passed through the Straits of Balabac, between Borneo and the long island of Palawan into the Sooloo Sea, said to be infested by pirates, who have little difficulty in escaping pursuit among the numerous islands to the south, forming the Looloo Archipelago. To the east of us were the Philippine islands, owned and misgoverned by the Spaniards.
Miss Wood lingered a moment, then made some steps toward her gate, from which he could still be seen; and then, with something like a toss of the head, she went in and shut her door. Later in the day the Virginian met Mr. McLean, who looked at his hat and innocently quoted. "'My Looloo picked a daisy." "Don't yu', Lin," said the Southerner. "Then I won't," said Lin.
"Brightest thing I've heard to-night," screamed Hen, defiantly, through the curtains. "Aw, Loo!" came her mother's soft voice from the unseen. "Run upstairs and get half a dozen napkins, my child. The wash is in the basket on my bed." "We always pretend like we're repeating it to Miss Mamie, just for fun," concluded Looloo. "Yes'm, mother!" "Oh! I see," said Carlisle.
For instance, good old Looloo heard where he checked his baggage to: Palm Beach, if it's of any interest to you." "I don't believe it is, my dear. He'll be checking it back this way again very soon, I've no doubt. Are we going the right way for Dunbar Street?" Hen shot at her a look of unconscious admiration.
We offered him cigarettes no, he did not wish to smoke. As B. and I went away we heard him moaning to himself "Jawnee no see LooLoo no more." With the exception of ourselves, the inhabitants of La Ferte Mace took Jean's desolation as a great joke. Shouts of Lulu! rent the welkin on all sides. At last Jean took to his couch in utter misery and disgust.
A peal of triumph from the rear room indicated that Major Cooney had reached the king-row in the teeth of bitter opposition. The peal came from Looloo, who should have been reading "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" with a big dictionary instead of hanging over her father's shoulder.
'Not any, thank you, isn't the right reply to 'Please give me the salt." "She's in love," said the Major, a gallant in his day. Cally, handing the salt to Hen, said: "I am, indeed, with Looloo. Don't you notice that she's getting prettier every day?"
She recognized this voice at the first word. And she involuntarily rose in the Cooney parlor, feeling the oddest, suddenest, most unreasoning impulse to go at once into the dining-room, after all, and be with Looloo, and watch them play checkers for a little while.... It was the surprise of it; nothing more. And Carlisle overcame that impulse.
Across the table sat Looloo, the best-looking of all the good-looking Cooneys. She had lucid gray eyes, with the prettiest black lashes; and Cally found herself continually looking at them.... Strange how expressive eyes could be, how revealing, looking things unspoken that influenced one's whole life.
