There are plenty of them, and I find they are glad to serve in such a nobby craft as the Sylvania, where they have easy work and the best of grub," I replied. "There comes a boat. I see the Panama hat and light clothes in it," added Washburn, evidently relieved, for he was impatient for the voyage to begin. In a minute more the pilot was on the deck of the steamer.
To test the surface the man-haulers tried to pull a load during the afternoon, and although it proved a tough job they managed to do it by pulling in ski. On foot the men sank to their knees, and an attempt to see what Nobby could do under such circumstances was anything but encouraging.
Nobby 'phones up th' Gyard-room reporthin' th' Iroquois Hotel on fire, an' requestin' th' O.C. for a shquad av men tu help fight ut, an' kape th' crowd back. So down we wint, a bunch av us. It sure was a bad fire all right. No lives was lost, but th' whole shebang was burnt tu th' ground. Kapin' th' crowd back was our hardest job.
But for all that Nobby wud have no thruck wid her, for all she was a widder, well fixed wid a house av her own an' lashuns av money.

"Th' ind av ut was, Nobby reports sick, an' th' reg'minthal docthor, ould 'Knockemorf' Probyn, gives um th' wance over.
I remember once lunching with rare Ben Jonson at the Mermaid Tavern this would be back in Queen Elizabeth's time, when I was beginning to be known in the theatrical world and seeing a young man with a nobby forehead and about three inches of beard doing himself well at a neighboring table at the expense of Burbage the manager. "Ben," I asked my companion, "who is that youth?"
No words can describe the scene, unless we devote a whole page to repeating the word "dismal." Devastation always appears to be more complete of a morning I have observed in my years of experience. A plasterer's scaffolding that looks fairly nobby at sunset is a grim, unsightly skeleton at breakfast-time.
'Yes, she said at once; 'I can. She cast her eyes about her, and, seeing a vacant chair near her interlocutor the one lately vacated by myself she seated herself deliberately, and began: 'He wasn't much to look at; about as big as you, mebbe, and about the same complected as that gentleman, pointing to the sergeant at the desk, 'only his nose was longer, and sort of big and nobby at the end, an' a leetle red.
There is some'n in her eyes and the way she sets and bends her neck an' cocks 'er head that makes me feel like one of the chaps in olden times that knelt on a strip of carpet at a queen's throne. But it ain't just her looks and trim shape and nobby little feet it's the woman herself, by gosh! She looks clean through a feller; what she says goes from her as straight as a gun-shot.
Apparently their highly artificial kind of excellence was a real thing to the people who took part in the show; for the spectators thrilled with excitement, and applauded the popular victors. There was a whole set of conventions which were generally understood there was even a new language. You were told that these "turnouts" were "nobby" and "natty"; they were "swagger" and "smart" and "swell."
Firefly was good, but he knew you were not on his back." Judith looked "nobby" in her riding togs. "And whom do you think we saw out with a stable horse and instructor?" asked Janet Clarke. "The Rebel Shirley Duncan! And you know, Jane, what a price Clayton asks for his horses." Jane was amazed. A riding instructor, horse and hired outfit for Shirley Duncan!
