Rise early, fare simply, and travel far enough to appreciate whatever offers for a camping-ground, though it be no more than the grudging shadow of a wall at mid-day, or a n'zala not overclean, when from north, south, east, and west the shepherd boys and girls are herding their flocks along the homeward way.
He sat as he had sat for years, bent and doubled up, for some kind of paralysis had overtaken him. He had a fine head and a pointed beard, his thin and weak neck seemed hardly able to bear its heavy burden. He was not overclean, and his clothes were, to say the least, shabby. But there he sat, his wife at work to maintain him. We stood, for there was no sitting room for us.
Jan Tingloff, not wishing to get too far away from the dry dock, turned up a side street near the water-front, and there, in a basement window of a narrow four-story brick building, he saw the sign "Furnished Room to Rent." A second look showed Jan that the basement also afforded an entrance to a not too well lit pool-room and that a not overclean alley ran up one side of the building.
From the way in which he spoke, I imagined, in my innocence, that his room was at my elbow; but no such thing we had to ascend a long, and not overclean staircase, to the fourth floor, before we were shown into a miserable little double bedded room. So soon as we had entered, the lieutenant shut the door.
Then the street gradually becomes deserted, and for a few hours silence reigns in Broadway. Leaving the City Hall, and passing through Chatham street, one suddenly emerges from the dark, narrow lane, into a broad square, with streets leading from it to all parts of the city. It is not overclean, and has an air of sharpness and repulsiveness that at once attract attention.
Whereupon the commandant, springing from his hammock, put his arms round my neck and his head on my shoulders, patted me on the back, and kissed me on both cheeks, a salute which I thought it expedient to return, though his face was not overclean and he smelled abominably of garlic and stale tobacco. "So you have come to see South America only to see it!" he said.
"Thank God for that!" After a moment of silence Byrne took up his whistling again. It was the "Humoresque." Stewart's apartment was on the third floor. Admission at that hour was to be gained only by ringing, and Boyer touched the bell. The lights were still on, however, in the hallways, revealing not overclean stairs and, for a wonder, an electric elevator.
We found a not overclean room over a shop there was nothing better we had already experienced worse: so we ordered supper, and went off to the telegraph station, to make sure that we arrived as "Royalty" at the next stop. A man suddenly burst into the office, crying, "Sirdar! Sirdar!" Jo and Jan made their way through the darkness to the inn, squeezed between sweating horses to the door.
He felt the touch on his sleeves of hard brown, not overclean hands, infinitely tender and caressing; and over there, as though she had never gone, was Sara Lee, slightly flushed and very radiant. And as though he also had never gone away, Henri pushed into the salle
The Chancellor eyed grimly from under his shaggy brows the disreputable figure of his sovereign. Then he went toward him, and put his hand on his head. "He was very eager for this rest, Otto,", he said. Then he knelt, and very solemnly and with infinite tenderness, he kissed the small, not overclean, hand. One by one the Council did the same thing.
