Poor Sally Patterson unpacked little Content's trunks. She had sent the little girl to school within a few days after her arrival. Lily Jennings and Amelia Wheeler called for her, and aided her down the street between them, arms interlocked. Content, although Sally had done her best with a pretty ready-made dress and a new hat, was undeniably a peculiar-looking child.
"Try," said Denis, smiling, as, passing his left hand under his wrist, he softly raised the injured limb, and the next moment the two lads seemed to seal the beginning of a long friendship in a warm, firm pressure, which had not ended when they became conscious that the door had softly opened and Master Leoni was standing there, a dark, peculiar-looking, living picture in an oaken frame, an inscrutable-looking smile upon his lips and his eyes half closed.
As for Marshall, we're all used to him, but he must strike strangers as right down peculiar-looking. I've known him ever since he was ten he's about fifty now and I like him. Him and me was out cod-fishing today. That's about all I'm good for now catching trout and cod occasional. But 'tweren't always so not by no manner of means. I used to do other things, as you'd admit if you saw my life-book."
"I set my bag of specimens down on a rock while I went to investigate a peculiar-looking formation." "Well?" said Jack. "Well, I heard a soft footstep and the crackling of some twigs. I looked round and my bag of specimens had gone. Now which of you boys played that foolish joke on me?" "I'll give you my word we know nothing about it, professor," declared Tom.
If one stalls, the other can immediately be thrown in and a forced landing obviated. Moreover, if we could get fuel when needed, with this arrangement I am safe in saying we could fly steadily day and night, resting one motor and working its mate, for a week or more." "What is this?" As he spoke the publisher touched a peculiar-looking helmet hanging from a hook near the pilot's seat.
This was quite peculiar-looking enough and in conjunction with a young, silky beard, trimmed into a sharp point with the look of an archaic Greek statue, he presented a type not easily forgotten. The features were regular and his eyes were singularly calm and wise and blue.
The hard-beaten ground is the only flooring of the hut, and the roof is simply of bark. In one of the corners of the cabin was a most peculiar-looking affair, very like a Punch and Judy show. On the proscenium, as it were, large Chinese letters were painted. A small crowd of diminutive Chinamen knelt before him, doing homage.
To her surprise, as she entered the library, she saw a small, most peculiar-looking woman sitting quite straight on the edge of a chair in the middle of the room. It was a cast-iron rule that Lynda must not be disturbed at her morning work. Thomas generally disposed of visitors without mercy. "Good morning!" Lynda said kindly. "Can I do anything for you? I am sorry you had to wait."
"She has brought you one of those horrible durians;" and as the Doctor's wife spoke Minnie caught up a little, bamboo-woven native basket, in which, carefully arranged among freshly gathered fern, was one of the peculiar-looking native fruits, the produce of one of the great trees so carefully planted and cared for in nearly every native village. "Don't!
"Now, Tom Swift, if you're ready, here's the suit." "All set," said the young inventor calmly. He began to remove his outer clothing. "Ned, please bring up my rifle." By the time the young scientist had been helped into the massively armored suit, Ned was back on deck carrying a peculiar-looking gun.
