"The police never get anybody," said Farwell, pessimistically; for the change of topic bored him. "No, I suppose they don't," answered Mr. Shorter, cheerfully finishing his chartreuse, and fixing his eye on one of the coloured lithographs of lean horses on Cecil Grainger's wall. "I'd talk to Hugh, if I wasn't as much afraid of him as of Jim Jeffries. I don't want to see him ruin her career."
His hair and skin were as brown as each other, which was saying a good deal; his eyes were gray; his teeth white and strong; and he had the healthy look of a man who lives in the open, bathes a good deal and does not overeat. "Late as usual," remarked Mrs. Van Zandt, pessimistically, as she set the coffee down beside him.
"We'll be lucky if he doesn't slam the door in our faces," said Amy pessimistically. It was Mollie who knocked this time and it was no timid little rap either, but a good, hearty rat-at-tat, that brought the occupant of the cabin to the door in a hurry. He had the frying pan still clutched in his hand and on his long narrow face was such a look of dread that the girls felt sorry for him.
I'm going to motor him out to look at a place in the country. Afternoon, Bibbs!" When she had gone, Bibbs mooned pessimistically from shelf to shelf, his eye wandering among the titles of the books.
"At the beginning," said Grace sarcastically, and reached for her candy box, grimacing to find it empty. "Thank you," said Allen courteously. "Well, as you know, we four husky braves meandered from the island one bright morning in the early part of the week to seek our fortune, as it were, in the city of promise." "Yes, that's all it does do," Roy put in pessimistically. "Promise!"
We passed a place where a white man was pessimistically picking away at a vein of coal in the river bluff. "Yes, we been here all winter," he said, "working on the blamed ledge. I always knowed it was goin' to pinch out, and now it's begun to pinch. My partner's gone to Candle for more grub, but I told him it weren't no use. It's pinchin' out right now.
Then the others burst into a noisy expression of their gladness. "Happy Tom" regarded them all pessimistically. "I feel bound to warn you," he said at length, "that marriage is an awful gamble. It ain't what it seems." "It is!" Natalie declared. "It's better, and you know it." "It turned out all right for me," Tom acknowledged, "because I got the best woman in the world.
"Which hoss?" asked Billy, though he felt pessimistically that he knew without being told. The Pilgrim's answer confirmed his pessimism. Of course, it was the only gentle horse they had. "Say, Billy, I forgot your tobacco," drawled the Pilgrim, after a very short silence which Billy used for much rapid thinking.
Now he's just the sort of man whom I should have expected would have been here at least an hour before it was necessary." "It is just his sort that fail on these occasions," put in Mrs. Ganthorn pessimistically. "He's just too full of business for my fancy. What is the time now, Mr. Danvers?" "On the stroke of the half-hour," replied the parson, with a gloomy look.
Marston wistfully, 'when she's been here a long while, and we're used to her, and she's part of the house perhaps it'll be as nice and pleasant as before? 'When the yeast's in, said Martha pessimistically, 'the dough's leavened! As Edward and Hazel drew near the show-ground they passed people walking and were overtaken by traps. A man passed at full gallop, and Hazel was reminded of Reddin.
