I knew she had nothing suitable or that had not been the subject of nudges and remarks under the breath, and smiles that could be heard. And I also knew nothing could keep her away, for she dearly loves to go to parties and is not often invited, being of an inconvenient age for entertainments, and I wished something could come to pass that would be to her interest.
"Can't ye imagine what it's like bein' a woman in a place like this? And a woman they think good-lookin'!" "Oh, so it's that!" said he, and was silent again. "Some one's been troubling you?" he ventured after a while. "Sure! Some one's always troublin' us women! Always! Never a day but we hear it. Winks and nudges everywhere ye turn." "Who is it?"
As he passed by the row of busy bookkeepers Dick caught a chuckle from one, while another, under cover of his big open ledger thrust out his hand and seizing on the sleeve of Dick's coat gave it several little nudges as if trying to indicate how thoroughly they enjoyed his independent way of taking the supercilious nabob down a peg, for no one in his employ dared to call his soul his own; if he had, he would never have remained there a single day.
Todd, acting as monitor, would give Silas many pushes and nudges which he modestly resisted, until her efforts were augmented by those of his brother officials, when, yielding at last to their importunities, he would slowly rise and go shyly and lingeringly up to the pulpit desk.
I nudges Vee and we exchanges grins. "The groom always takes on that way," she whispers. "It's the usual thing." I was sorry for the Boss, too. He'd been havin' such a good time before. But now he goes off with his chin down and his brow all wrinkled up. Course we knew he'd go straight to Elsa and tell her his troubles. But I couldn't see where that was goin' to do him any good.
Our people were by this time all at their stations, with sheets and halliards in their hands, ready to sway away at the first word of an order from me; and it was not so dark but that I was able to see, out of the corner of my eye, the nudges and gestures of delight which they interchanged as the great, stately Indiaman swept at length athwart our stern, dark and silent as a phantom.
Then Jovis nudges me; he fears to frighten his happy, quiet passengers, for he knows full well that a storm is pursuing us. At last a man manages to understand us; he answers: "Nord!" We get the same reply from another. Suddenly the lights of a town, which seems to be of considerable size, appear before us. Perhaps it is Lille.
We found his house about dark, and he gave us a good supper and a good drink of apple-jack, which he fished out from under the bed. Alban would not drink any, and tried by winks and sly nudges, to keep me from accepting a second invitation, but I didn't take the hint worth a cent. Mr. After we had taken two or three drinks, he became talkative, and I think my tongue was a little loose.
When they did not have their handy earphones in service Jack and his right bower had arranged a secret alphabet of signals, consisting of all manner of pokes and nudges, by means of which they were enabled to communicate along professional lines at least.
It seems as though I had heard your name aren't you an actor, or an artist? A musician, or something like that? My memory is so miserable." "I'm just a 'something like that, not even an actor," was the answer, as the tiniest of nudges registered Helene's appreciation. "What is your favorite poison?"
