And now, to see them lumped and sold to Doan, Rockwell & Haight even that hurt. But most of all did Judith's treatment of him cut, cut deep. "You're a fool, Bud Lee," he told himself softly. "Oh, God, what a fool!" "The buyers will be here the first thing to-morrow," said Hampton. "Judith says we're to have everything ready for them." "I'll not keep her waiting," answered Lee quietly.
There were, moreover, other reasons why the press-gang was to the Navy an indispensable appendage reasons perhaps of little moment singly, but of tremendous weight in the scale of naval necessity when lumped together and taken in the aggregate. Of these the most prominent was that fatal flaw in naval administration which Nelson was in the habit of anathematising as the "Infernal System."
Bryany was innocent of this deception, which had been accomplished by Robert Brindley, but that was a detail which did not trouble Edward Henry, who lumped his grievances together for convenience.
I write "legendary," but thereby I display myself a sceptic. To a very large number of people the People is one of the profoundest realities in life. They believe what exactly do they believe about the people? When they speak of the People they certainly mean something more than the whole mass of individuals in a country lumped together.
I wondered as I turned down the gas again and remounted the stairs what personal message and reproach in it had lumped me in with the others; and by the time I had reached my own door again a phrase had fitted itself in my mind to that quick, ironical turning of Andriaovsky's eyes: "Et tu, Brute!..."
There were Frenchmen, smelling rank of garlic and mutton tallow; Basques with eyes as blue and vacant as the summer skies; young Mormons working on shares, whose whole fortune was wrapped up in the one huddle of sheep which they corralled and counted so carefully; and then the common herders, fighting Chihuahuanos, with big round heads and staring eyes, low-browed Sonorans, slow and brutal in their ways, men of all bloods and no blood, lumped together in that careless, all-embracing Western term "Mexicans."
Mrs. Assingham, it struck him, applied two or three of the finest in their discussion of their young friend so different a figure now from that early playmate of Maggie's as to whom he could almost recall from of old the definite occasions of his having paternally lumped the two children together in the recommendation that they shouldn't make too much noise nor eat too much jam.
And with careful steps the judge got himself out of the room to summon his jury. For a short while the cow-puncher stood looking down upon the woman. She lay lumped in her gaudiness, the ribbons darkly stained by the laudanum; but into the stolid, bold features death had called up the faint-colored ghost of youth, and McLean remembered all his Bear Creek days.
Pinky is my guest, and Gee, sorry I lost my temper, Claire, terrible sorry. See you along the road. Good night. Pink! You take your hat! Git!" Milt followed Pinky out of the door, snarling, "Git in the car, and do it quick. I'll take you clear to Blewett Pass. We drive all night." Pinky was of great silence and tact. Milt lumped into the bug beside him. But he did not start the all-night drive.
The faults and virtues of each were along such different lines that they balanced perfectly when lumped upon the scale of personal estimation. Their unexpected meeting in Paris, was as exhilarating pleasure to both, and for the next week or so they were inseparable.
