"Why !" Colonel Musgrave pulled up short, hardly seeing his way clear through the indignant periods on which he had entered. "I declined," said he, somewhat lamely, "to discuss the matter with her, in her present excited and perfectly unreasonable condition." Mrs. Pendomer's penciled eyebrows rose, and her lips which were quite as red as there was any necessity for their being twitched.
Moreover, many of them powdered their little faces, penciled their eyebrows, and deepened the roses in their cheeks with rose-carmine or rouge; and to Pollyooly, a daughter of Muttle Deeping, these practices were repugnant.
He handed Bud a penciled sketch from the workbench, adding, "Then drill the holes for the mikes and earphones the dimensions are there on the drawing. But watch it so you don't crack the plastic." While Bud complied, Tom began assembling the tiny electronic parts. In two hours the gear was ready for testing. Tom wiped his perspiring forehead and gave Bud a grin of satisfaction.
It was the agreement his father had made with Lang to purchase ten fully-equipped fishing-boats for the fisherman. Gregory studied the penciled notes. His father had reposed untold confidence in Lang's integrity. So much was shown by the loose phraseology of the document and the extreme latitude given the fisherman in compliance with its terms.
"Are you sure of that?" "I am certain of it." "You can refer to persons who have seen you?" "Easily." He turned the sheet of note-paper, and pointed to Geoffrey's penciled letter on the fourth page. "How long had he been in Scotland, when he wrote this? More than three weeks, too?" Anne considered for a moment. "For God's sake, be careful!" said Sir Patrick.
We descend, skirting for some distance the monastery walls, over which patches of ivy hang like green shawls. There are flowers in profusion, scented violets, daisies, dandelions, and crocuses, large and of the richest variety, with orange pistils, and stamens purple and violet, the back of every alternate leaf exquisitely penciled.
Yonder stood the old bronze sun-dial that I knew so well I could have read the inscription, I Mark Only Pleasant Hours; and I knew its penciled shadow pointed to a high and glorious noon.... It seemed to me that Heaven had never made a more perfect place or a more perfect day; nor, that I am sure, was ever in the universe a world more beautiful than this, more fit to swing in union with all the harmony of the spheres.... I had fought so long, I had been so unhappy, had doubted so much, had grown so sad, so misanthropic, that I trust I shall be forgiven at this sudden joy I felt at hearing burst on my ears albeit a chorus of Edouard's mocking-birds hid in the oaks all the music of the spheres, soul-shaking, a thing of joy and reverence.... So I spoke but little.
Vincent smiled at her visitor's question. "I had no occasion to send such a message," she said; "I have never been seriously ill in my life." Robert Audley paused before he asked any further questions, and scrawled a few penciled words in his note-book. "If I ask you a few straightforward questions about Miss Lucy Graham, madam," he said.
"It ain't my health. It's something I didn't want to write on paper," and she tapped her upper lip suggestively. Patricia, noting the downy line that penciled the corners of her firm mouth, hesitated to put an inquiry that could be delicate enough to indicate the faint moustache without hurting Miss Jinny's feelings. "Uppers!" said Miss Jinny, wholly unconscious of Patricia's perturbation.
Saul glanced at the penciled lines and drew in his breath sharply. "What do you make of it, sir?" demanded the judge anxiously. "Well, of course, you'll do as you please, but I'd keep still." "You mean you regard this as an authentic expression, sir, and not as the joke of some irresponsible humorist?" "It's authentic enough," said Mr. Saul impatiently.
