"Good: we'll be home in five minutes." "Think you can hold out that long?" "Sure got to; if I keel over before we reach my digs ... chances are it'll get you into trouble ... besides, I want to fight shy of the papers ... no good airing this scandal ..." "None whatever," affirmed P. Sybarite heartily. "But how did you get into it?" "Just by way of being a natural-born ass." "Oh, well!
With Ikey she was especially loath to part. "I'll never get one like him," she wailed, "Ikey is the funniest four-legged clown in America. He's a natural-born comedian. Folks think I learn him those tricks, but it's all his own stuff.
Ryan did so with such enthusiasm that Von Barwig was glad to withdraw his hand. Mr. Schwarz was an Americanised German, far more American than the most dyed-in-the-wool, natural-born citizen of the United States. Had any one called him a German, he would have repudiated the suggestion as an insult. He knew the American Constitution backward, and he determined that others should know it, too.
His associates were staring at him and Colonel Dodd was giving him furious glances. He had spoken with enthusiasm. He broke off suddenly. "I beg your pardon. I don't mean to go quite so far. But I'm a student of history and I've read a lot about natural-born leaders." "You evidently know more about history than you do about politics," growled the colonel.
There would be at Simsbury a momentous stop of No. 4 and another passenger would be in that dining car, disjoined forever from Simsbury, and he with them would stare out the polished windows at the gaping throng, and he would continue to stare with incurious eyes at still other Simsburys along the right of way, while the proud train bore him off to triumphs never dreamed of by natural-born villagers.
I didn't seem to care much about it; but my friend was one of those natural-born match-makers; she talked the young lady up to me in such a shape that I almost fancied myself in love and actually began to feel that I'd be doing her an injustice if I permitted her to go on loving and longing for the rest of her days.
The manager was sorry, very, very sorry, but he explained that some mistake had been made in selling the gentleman a seat already disposed of; he would refund the money, of course, and indeed felt the matter keenly, and so forth, and before he had finished John was gone, walking hurriedly across the square and down the broad streets, and as he passed the park he buttoned his coat and said, "John Jones, you're a natural-born fool."
We are glad that so few of them are ever poor and hungry. Beaumont, Aviator. The late Lincoln Beachy, Aviator. A man of consummate physical courage and coolness. Col. George W. Goethals, Builder of the Panama Canal and Governor of Canal Zone. Of the intellectual but bony and muscular type. Short, stocky, enduring, and resistant. A natural-born executive for construction or mechanical work.
Removing the screws, he soon had the satisfaction of holding in his hand the packet which, he doubted not, would restore the heiress of Bellevue to her home and her estates, if she were still alive; or which would give him a hold upon Jaspar, by means of which he could make his fortune. Dalhousie was not a natural-born villain.
She was a natural-born, unconsciously artistic, highly expert, and finished coquette. She was all this at seventeen, and Mark at twenty-four was by no means a match for her in this field of effort, yet! but sometimes, in getting her victim into the net, the coquette loses her balance and falls in herself.
