It was days before some of us could get our hair clean from that filthy coal-oil mixture. One more pony died during the gale, but when the weather moderated early on the 3rd, the remaining seventeen animals bucked up and, when not eating their food, nonchalantly gnawed great gaps in the stout planks forming the head parts of their stalls. At last the sun came out and helped to dry the dogs.
I read the proofs with an admiration strongly tinctured with awe, and found it lacking in one particular only: no mention was made of Roland Barnette's first open-faced suit. Roland had ordered it from a clothing-house in Chicago, and it arrived just in time. I was loitering in Graham's when Roland sauntered nonchalantly in at about a quarter to eight and called for a pack of "Sweets."
The mere telling of his uncanny experience had a soothing effect. He nonchalantly readjusted his watch and chain, and noted the time. "I have gone far beyond my stipulated half hour," he said, forcing a deprecatory smile. "Yes; far beyond, indeed. You carried me back to 1763, but Heaven alone knows when you will end." "Will you take up my case?" "Can you doubt it?
As she was leaving the office, she asked Harry if Dicky were in his studio, saying she had left there something she prized highly and would like to get it. Something in the way she said it made Harry suspicious. Of course, I had told him confidentially of her attempt to drown you, so he remarked nonchalantly that he was also going to the studio.
"Well, I'm going back again," he finished, with great decision, arising to make good his assertion. "Swim or walk?" asked Hopalong nonchalantly. "Huh! Oh, Lord!" "Well, I ain't going to either swim or walk," Hopalong soliloquized. "I'm just going to stay right here in this one-by-nothing cellar an' spoil the health an' good looks of any pirate that comes down that ladder to get me out."
My voice trembled in the upper bars of a feline love-song, quavered, descended, swelling again into an intimation that I brooked no rival, and ended with a magnificent crescendo. "I finished, somewhat abashed, and glanced askance at the professor and his daughter, but the one sat nonchalantly disentangling his coat-tails, and the other was apparently absorbed in the distant landscape.
At the end of the year he felt that he could go alone, and the artist agreed, adding, nonchalantly: "You may get there; God knows; but you need loads of work." Domestically, the life was monotonous. Clayton had abandoned his old habits, finding it difficult to harmonize his present existence with his clubs and his fashionable friends.
"We are looking for a person by the name of Hillars whom we are charged to arrest. Do you know anything about him?" "It is not probable," said I, nonchalantly. I glanced at Gretchen. I could fathom nothing there. "Well," snarled the lieutenant, "I suppose you will not object to my seeing your passports?" "Not in the least," said I. But I felt a shock.
He strolled on at random, swinging his stick nonchalantly, . . . till, all at once, he saw something that brought him, and the heart within him, to a simultaneous standstill: something he had been more or less sub-consciously thinking of the whole time, perhaps? for it brought him to a standstill, as if he saw his thought made flesh.
But it was beneath his dignity to run to fires. When the fire-bell rang, he waited nonchalantly on the corner near the fire-department house, and as the crowds parted to let the horses dash by on the dead run, he would walk calmly to the middle of the street, put his notebook in his pocket, and, as the fire-team plunged by, he would ostentatiously throw out a stiff leg behind him like the tail of a comet, and "flip" onto the end of the fire-waggon.
