By the time we were ready to start we had a good-sized pack-train on our hands. The proprietor of the hotel found us an arriero, whom he declared to be the most competent and trustworthy guide in all the Andes a long, loose-jointed fellow with an air of complete indifference habitually resting on his yellow, rather sinister-looking face.
"And where are yours, Mr. Hennion, that ye dare speak so to your superior officer?" demanded the lieutenant. There was no mistaking Philemon, changed though he was. He wore a fashionable wig, and his clothes fitted well a figure that, once shambling and loose-jointed, had now all the erectness of the soldier, but the face was unchanged. "I'll not quarrel with you now," swaggered Philemon.
All these young men, handsome and healthy in their flannels and ready to be pleasant, she found dull, while the figure of the loose-jointed Charles, his vague gestures, his unseeing eyes screening the activity of his brain, became heroic in their difference. She never saw him; she did not visit Mrs. Batty; she was afraid of falling tearfully on that homely, sympathetic breast, but Mrs.
Cecil Barker's tall, loose-jointed figure was a familiar one in the main street of Birlstone village; for he was a frequent and welcome visitor at the Manor House. He was the more noticed as being the only friend of the past unknown life of Mr. Douglas who was ever seen in his new English surroundings.
Donal entered in that loose-jointed way which comes of the brains being as yet all in the head, and stood, resisting Gibbie's pull on his arm, his keen hazel eyes looking gently round upon the company, until he caught sight of the face he sought, when, with the stride of a sower of corn, he walked across the room to Ginevra. Mrs. Sclater rose; Mr.
Her shaggy, loose-jointed body, her irregular, sketchy outlines, like those of the landscape the hollows and ridges, the slopes and prominences her tossing horns, her bushy tail, her swinging gait, her tranquil, ruminating habits all tend to make her an object upon which the artist eye loves to dwell. The artists are for ever putting her into pictures too.
His resources, when he is pressed, are inexhaustible; and the address, with which he contrives to gain time, that he may suit his reply to the object of his evidence, is beyond all praise. And yet his appearance when he mounts the table is anything but prepossessing; a sheepish look, and a loose-jointed frame of body, wrapped in a frieze great-coat, do not promise much.
So at the age of nineteen a slim, loose-jointed lad he commenced the study of medicine and Greek, and afterward of theology, in the University of Glasgow, attending lectures in the winter, paying his expenses by working as a cotton-spinner during the summer, without receiving a farthing of aid from any one.
Nevertheless, Dirck was a sterling fellow, as true as steel, as brave as a game-cock, and as honest as noon-day light. Jason was a very different sort of person, in many essentials. In figure, he was also tall, but he was angular, loose-jointed and swinging slouching would be the better word, perhaps.
Into one of these cars a large and loose-jointed man was lifting a large and loose-jointed dog. The dog did not like his treatment, and was struggling pathetically in vain awkwardness to get free. "Bruce!" called the Mistress, fiercely, as she dashed across the street. The puppy heard the familiar voice and howled for release. Dr.
