There had been under Moddle's system no dawdles at shop-windows and no nudges, in Oxford Street, of "I SAY, look at 'ER!" There had been an inexorable treatment of crossings and a serene exemption from the fear that especially at corners, of which she was yet weakly fond haunted the housemaid, the fear of being, as she ominously said, "spoken to."
As early as seven o'clock, a knot of people had gathered in front of the little house on Duke of Gloucester Street, staring curiously at the shut blinds, and telling each other, doubtless, how well they had known the dead man. When young Surface came out of the front door, an awed hush fell upon them; he was aware of their nudges, and their curious but oddly respectful stare.
So I struck out freshly against the smooth water, feeling just a little stiffened by the exertion, and with an occasional chill running up the back of the neck, but with no nips from sharks, no nudges from alligators, and not a symptom of fever-and-ague.
"And tell him, also," added Isagani, paying no attention to his friend's nudges, "that water is very mild and can be drunk, but that it drowns out the wine and beer and puts out the fire, that heated it becomes steam, and that ruffled it is the ocean, that it once destroyed mankind and made the earth tremble to its foundations!" Simoun raised his head.
Sometimes she shared her outlook with an old woman a horrible, greasy go-between, with straggling grey hair and a gin-inflamed face. She chatted with this beldame happily, she cupped her vile old dewlap, or stroked her dishonourable head; sometimes a man in shirt sleeves was with her, treated her familiarly, with rude embraces, with kisses, nudges and leers.
The steers went at a spanking pace; indeed, it was a regular bovine gale; but their driver clung to their side amid the brush and boulders with desperate tenacity, and seemed to manage them by signs and nudges, for he hardly uttered his orders aloud.
Hamnet has a fist, too, and has thrashed the butcher's son down by the Rother Market, though the butcher's son is nine. Here Hamnet nudges Will. What is this he is saying? About Gammer, his very own grandame? "Ben't no witches," mutters Hamnet to Will. "Schoolmaster says so. Says the like of Gammer's talk is naught but women's tales."
It was the stranger who broke the silence: "Two bits I bid two bits," he said, very quietly, whereat the crowd indulged in a faint snicker and a few nudges. The marshal looked at him and then ignored him. "How much, gentlemen?" he asked, facing the crowd again. "Two bits," repeated the stranger, as the crowd remained silent. "Two bits!" yelled the marshal, glaring at him angrily: "Two bits!
But give him a fair chance, and his son's son will turn out to be the first Admiral of the Federal Fleet of Commerce that is to be, a fleet of swift government freighters that shall knit closely together our ports with all the ports of the Seven Seas. Gentlemen, I present to you the ancestor of an Admiral!" Pinckney chuckles and nudges Mr. Hubbard.
If he could have helped it, he would have kept silence till Kinraid spoke first; but he could no longer endure the sailors' nudges, and winks, and jests among themselves. 'Tell Sylvia, said Kinraid 'There's a smart name for a sweetheart, exclaimed one of the men; but Kinraid went straight on, 'What yo've seen; how I've been pressed by this cursed gang. 'Civil words, messmate, if you please.
