For five full minutes the hansom wobbled painfully along and then pulled up in front of a building which Hugh lugubriously recognized as a police station. "We've got to make the best of it, dear. Did you ever hear of such beastly luck? I'll see if they won't let me go in alone and square things. You won't be afraid to sit out here alone for a few minutes, will you?

He was scowling fiercely at a most inoffensive lawn-mower in the grass at the left. "I daresay, sir," said Mr. Hobbs with sprightly decisiveness. "He's very much needed." "I'm going to need him before long as my second." "Your second, sir? Are you going to fight a duel?" "I suppose so," lugubriously. "It's too much to expect him to meet me with bare fists.

Wrath of God's bony face was pointed lugubriously toward the door; Jag Ear was wiggling his fragment of ear. "And Moses on the mountain-top says that you stay!" declared Jasper Ewold. Jack looked at Mary. She had not spoken yet and he waited on her word. "Please do!" she said. "Father wants someone to talk to."

It's a hell of a town but it's got some fine wimmen; yes, and a few straight banks, too. You're no crabber or piker; I can see that. You go to the North Star. Tell Frank that Jakey sent you. They'll treat you white. You be sure and say Jakey sent you. But for Gawd's sake keep out of the Big Tent." "The Big Tent?" I uttered. "Why so?" "They'll sweat you there," he groaned lugubriously.

"Please leave all the details to me, Mr. Browne. It may not be necessary for her to die. There are other alternatives in law. Give the lawyers a chance. We'll see what we can do. Besides, it would be unreasonable to expect his lordship to die also. All you have to do is to plant yourself on that island and stay there until we tell you to get off." "Or the islanders push me off," lugubriously.

He wasn't like most cats who don't care who comes and goes as long as they get plenty to eat. Paddy wouldn't have been contented without me." "Oh, no-o-o, oh, no-o-o," wailed Sara Ray lugubriously. Felix shot a disgusted glance at her.

His mother smiled and continued the broken sentence: " And that ten thousand fail where one succeeds in getting even a foothold to climb, as you want to?" "But how can I climb? That's the point. Why, I shall be twenty-six in five years if I live," he added lugubriously. His mother laughed outright.

If she looked back, I would feel that I was making grand way with her. If she did not look back, I would know myself as a lost man. One can imagine how eagerly I watched her. For a long time it was plain that she had no intention whatever of looking back. I lugubriously arranged my complete downfall.

Outside on the gravel path old Dennis was sitting on a wheelbarrow enjoying a pipe in the sunshine. He made no attempt to rise as "the family" approached, but took the pipe out of his mouth and shook his head lugubriously. "This is the black day for us, for all the sun's shining in the skies.

The full day clothed the earth in a light that turned from silver to gold, and the woman and the children still slept. The five chewed some strips of venison, and looked rather lugubriously at the pieces they were saving for Mary Newton and the children. "We ought to hev more'n that," said Shif'less Sol.
