I don't like proverbs, they always tell you in an owlishly wise sort o' way what you know only too well, at a time when you'd rather not know it if possible. Now, if we only had an axe ever so small I would be able to fell trees and cut 'em up into big logs, instead of spending hours every day searching for dead branches and breaking them across my knee.
"Cummings," said Dykeman disgustedly, "the man's drunk!" "No, no," owlishly. "'m not 'ntoxicated. Overcome with 'motion." He took a brace. "That woman there 'f I sh'd tell you walk into hotel room, find her with three men! Three of 'em!" "How much of this are these ladies to stand for?" I demanded. "Ladies?" Bowman roared suddenly. "She's m' wife. Where's th' other man?
He nursed his two-year-old Buick even in winter, when it was stored in the stable-garage behind the house. He filled the grease-cups, varnished a fender, removed from beneath the back seat the debris of gloves, copper washers, crumpled maps, dust, and greasy rags. Winter noons he wandered out and stared owlishly at the car. He became excited over a fabulous "trip we might take next summer."
Just the same we take no chances never make our landfall by day, never enter or leave harbour except at night." He paused, contemplating Lanyard owlishly. "Ought not to tell you all this, I presume," he continued, more soberly, though the wild light still flickered ominously in his eyes.
Joe Graddy's breathing proclaimed that he had succumbed at once, but Frank lay for a considerable time winking owlishly at the stars, which returned him the compliment with interest by twinkling at him through the branches of the overhanging trees.
"Where is father, Sally?" asked Nan, as that functionary appeared, blinking owlishly, but utterly repudiating the idea of sleep. "He went down the garding, miss, when the gentlemen cleared, bein' a little flustered by the goin's on. Shall I fetch him in?" asked Sally, as irreverently as if her master were a bag of meal. "No, we will go ourselves."
It was always Higgins who proposed to make a night of it, and now, as usual, his words were greeted with enthusiasm. Having obtained the floor, he gazed owlishly over the flushed faces around the table and said: "I wish to announce that, in our little journey to the underworld, we will visit some places of rare interest and educational value. First we will go to the House of Seven Turnings."
His hair stood up in two tufts above his forehead, one on each side, and he had large, round, grayish eyes and a solemn, pondering expression. To Meddy, staring horror-stricken, he seemed as owlishly wise as he looked while he explained the object of his expedition. "This district have got a poor reputation with the law, Mr. Kettison.
His face was clean-shaven, rosy, and of cherubic fulness; his eyes beamed owlishly through spectacles which nobody had ever seen him take off. But for those spectacles he might have passed for a well-groomed baby in a soap-advertisement. He was supposed to sleep in them. It looked as if Mr. Keith had taken an instantaneous liking to the bishop. "Bampopo? Why, of course. I've been there.
"Time, unlike our watches, never has to go to the jeweler's for repairs," said I owlishly. Max leaned over, took my bull-terrier by the neck and deposited him on his lap. "Good pup, Artie if he's anything like his master. Three years, my boy, since I saw you. And here you are, doing nothing and lallygagging at court with the nobility. I wish I had had an uncle who was a senator.
