We messed together, and pledged mutual friendship in the new land, a pledge not destined to be fulfilled, as I never again saw nor heard of the former after we went ashore, and the last glimpse I had of the older man was as he was being loaded into a cart bound for some interior plantation. God grant they both lived, and became again free men. How those sodden hours and days dragged!
This despicable toady was his lordship's double; he was the living type of Gnatho of Terence; and I never saw him without remembering the passage that ends "Si negat, id quoque nego." Black was white, and white was black with toady, if his lordship pleased; he messed in the cabin, did much mischief in the ship, and only escaped kicking because he was too contemptible to be kicked.
And you tried so hard not to have them crowded and messed with frightful crocheted wool things. She'd want a tidy on every chair and extra ones for Sunday. And you've made things so pretty, Star!" "We think so, don't we!" replied Estelle, kissing her little comforter. "Somebody may yet come who will agree with us. We won't give up hope." Estelle was silent for a moment.
"Sorry?... You haven't cut a dance with him, you know, or kept him waiting while you did your hair.... You've more or less messed up his life. Yes, you have. There isn't any use mincing words. Your motives may have been lofty and noble and all that sort of thing from your point of view. But HIS point of view is what I'm thinking about now.... Sorry!" "Don't scold. I can't bear it.
But it would have been done properly, not messed up like that was: all the woodwork would have been rubbed down with pumice stone and water: all the knots cut out and the holes properly filled up, and the work properly rubbed down with glass-paper between every coat. But nowadays the only place you'd see a bit of pumice stone was in a glass case in a museum, with a label on it.
"What was that all about?" demanded Trask, as the steward, breathing hard and to every appearance terror-stricken, brought the long boat alongside the schooner. "Lordy me!" he gasped, his eyes white and rolling. "They shore messed up things this yer time!"
They don't really do, spend what you will on them. We messed away with a garage all among the wych-elm roots, and last year we enclosed a bit of the meadow and attempted a mockery. Evie got rather keen on Alpine plants. But it didn't do no, it didn't do.
I was not off my base, either, and it would have worked out charmingly if that big duffer, Lander, hadn't dipped in and messed it for us." "I'm still in the dark." "Don't you remember that when I got back I asked you about Eliot's signals to the pitcher?" "Yes."
You've messed my nice alpaca body if you can't help getting dirt all over yourself you shouldn't ought to touch a lady even if she's in a swound." "I'm middling sorry, missus." His voice was quite tranquil it was like oil on the fire of Joanna's wrath. "Maybe you are, and so am I. You shouldn't ought to have cotched hold of me like that.
I can't get it out of my head with shells in her engine-room, and the fires flying out of her furnaces, and the stokers and engineers scalded and dead. Men I've messed with, Smallways men I've talked to close! And they've had their day at last! And it wasn't all luck for them! "Disabled and sinking! I suppose everybody can't have all the luck in a battle. Poor old Schneider!
