If he is officiously attentive to our comfort, and his countenance is frank and open, look out for him. I hate practical jokes, and on that Sunday I almost hated Jimmie. We drove first into a great yard surrounded by high trees. The horses were immediately taken from our carriage, as if our stay was to be a long one.
Hamilton's manner towards him, that the interesting tales concerning his youth, which I had intended should be poured into his wife's ear, might be disregarded; such from the first had been my intention, but I have felt puzzled in a degree how to set about it." "Nay, you do yourself injury, my dearest Miss Grahame," observed the ex-governess, officiously.
The Princess turned pale. "How canst thou speak so positively?" she asked. "It is a teukra; in the whole world, O Princess, there are but two persons with authority to make use of it." "And who are they?" "The Sultan, and Mahommed, next him in the succession." In the silence which ensued, Lysander officiously proposed to remove the sign. The Dervish interposed.
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 passed 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.
But sometimes take the things that you would know for granted; upon which somebody will, kindly and officiously, set you right: sometimes say that you have heard so and so; and at other times seem to know more than you do, in order to know all that you want; but avoid direct questioning as much as you can.
The next moment I was engaged with the pair who had trotted by my cab, and who had fastened most officiously upon mine. "You touch it again," came sharply, "and I'll let you know." "Leave the box alone," I said, "I don't want your help." "Carry it in, sir. I was fust, sir. Yah! you get out."
As I started off myself towards them I saw, with the corner of my eye, another brother of mine start in a run from the left field, and I wondered why a third, who was scoring, sat perfectly still in his chair, particularly as a well-known, red-headed tough from one of the mines who had been officiously antagonistic ran toward the pitcher's box directly in front of him.
In an economic point of view the women had long since made themselves independent; in the present epoch we even meet with solicitors acting specially for women, who officiously lend their aid to solitary rich ladies in the management of their property and their lawsuits, make an impression on them by their knowledge of business and law, and thereby procure for themselves ampler perquisites and legacies than other loungers on the exchange.
He heard the clown officiously shouting: 'This way, Mr. Policeman, sir! and then a tremendous battering at his door. He lay there shivering under the blankets. 'Perhaps they'll think the door's locked, and go away, he tried to hope, and the battering went on not quite so violently. 'Master Tommy! Master Tommy! It was Sarah's voice. They had got her to come up and tempt him out.
They were summarily told that as YOU had already made him a present, he need not expect a visit from ME. Adhering, I doubt not, to their master's instructions, they officiously constituted themselves our guides till we chose to strike off their path, when, quickly heading our party, they stopped the way, planted their spears, and DARED our advance!
