As the little fellow set off for morning school, with his pile of books upon his arm, the others waylaid him, jostled him to and fro, knocked him into the gutter, scattered his books on the street, and then officiously reported him late for school.
Timar was angry at being detected for the first time in his life in a direct lie. His papers were not kept by Timéa, but in his own room. "No, do not wake my wife; the papers are in my room I only wanted the key." "And you have already found it?" asked Athalie, seriously, who then lighted the candles and officiously conducted Michael to his room. Here she put down the candle and did not go away.
Only one person did I know who had any real interest in my West, a tall, dark-eyed, haughty young lady, to whom I talked of Kansas by the hour. Her mother, who was officiously courteous to me, didn't approve of that subject, but the daughter listened eagerly. When I left Rockport, Rachel that was her name, Rachel Melrose asked me when I was coming back.
"Yes, my Angelina: so end 'The Sorrows of Araminta' Another cup? do I make the tea too sweet?" said Miss Hodges, whilst Nat handed the bread and butter to the ladies officiously. "The man looks like a fool," thought Miss Warwick.
In this exercise I once met an accident, which had like to have cost me my life; for, one of the pages having put my boat into the trough, the governess who attended Glumdalclitch very officiously lifted me up, to place me in the boat: but I happened to slip through her fingers, and should infallibly have fallen down forty feet upon the floor, if, by the luckiest chance in the world, I had not been stopped by a corking-pin that stuck in the good gentlewoman’s stomacher; the head of the pin passing between my shirt and the waistband of my breeches, and thus I was held by the middle in the air, till Glumdalclitch ran to my relief.
Alice," said Everard, with equal firmness and placidity of manner; "and you, Sir Henry, do not think that if I speak firmly, I mean therefore to speak in anger, or officiously.
You leave her, feeling that you have had a very happy visit with one of your best friends. Heidi is not officiously interfered with; she has the best of care. When she cries, every means is taken to find the cause of her trouble; and when the trouble is remedied, she stops. She is a dear little friend, and gives and takes, and grows. Another baby of the same age is Peggy.
"Is a fowl to be had?" "Gharîb-parwar," is the prompt reply. "Is hoecake to be had?" "Dharm-antâr," officiously cuts in Khudâbakhsh's mate, a low-caste Hindoo; and the principal thinks it unnecessary to respond to the question a second time. Now, what is to be done? What do they mean? Have they fowl and hoecake? Have they not fowl and hoecake? Here, to be sure, is a very bivium of perplexities.
A punkah that may once have been white waggled officiously overhead. But for all that the flies were lords of the meal; and enjoyed it far better than those who paid for it. "Thank God for my good dinner!" Desmond muttered with a wry face as he put down his money. "You must supplement it out of Lenox's rations, old lady. Hukm hai . . . sumja?" She laughed and shrugged her shoulders.
Since he had been officiously advised to go to Rome if he desired to defend himself, he had been turning this question over in his mind without being able to discover which of his pages were attacked. To him indeed they all seemed to glow with the purest Christianity.
