He enjoyed the pleasant-sounding patter over his head. And he liked to watch the trickle of the water as it ran off the umbrella and fell upon the leaves beneath him. Now, while Jasper Jay was having a good time, there was one person who was not enjoying the shower at all and that was old Mr. Crow. You remember that he had gone to a crows' meeting.
"Never mind his Chris'en name," said the captain; "Penrewen, for short." "There was another named John Tredgear." "And a pleasant-sounding name, too," said the captain; "John Tredgear's booked." "I can recall no other except old Parvis."
Places served by this District Company had pleasant-sounding suburban names such as Kew Gardens, Richmond, Wimbledon. Reading the names, he felt a sick nostalgic yearning for the wind that blows through fir-trees, for the dust that falls on highroads, for the village street and the friendly nod for home. He ate some food at an eating-house near Blackfriars, and then wandered aimlessly for hours.
In the part of Gray's Inn Road to the north of Clerkenwell Road formerly stood Stafford's Almshouses, founded in 1652. At present Rosebery Avenue, driven through slumland, justifies its pleasant-sounding name, being a wide, sweeping, tree-lined road. Workmen's model dwellings rise on either side. The northern part of Gray's Inn Road falls within the parish of St. Pancras.
What she had called miserliness was really prudence and thrift and other pleasant-sounding virtues. What she had called liberality was wanton waste. Finally her social debts reached such a mass that she decided to give a large dinner to wipe off a great number at once.
"Frank" is a very pretty, pleasant-sounding name, and it is not strange that many persons use it in common conversation all their days when speaking of a friend. Were they really christened by that name, any of these numerous Franks? Perhaps they were, and if so there is nothing to be said. But if not, was the baptismal name Francis or Franklin?
The Rajahs of the western portion of Timor receive their appointment from the Resident at Coepang; and their installation I am told is rather a grand affair. Nearly all the Timorees speak Malay, a soft pleasant-sounding tongue, apparently easy to be acquired; but there were few of the Coepang people that spoke the native language.
The car had to be backed a few yards in the process of turning. Very stealthily, very gently, very mercilessly Victor sent Morlvera flying over his shoulder, so that she fell into the road just behind the retrogressing wheel. With a soft, pleasant-sounding scrunch the car went over the prostrate form, then it moved forward again with another scrunch.
"Do you want me to go away and leave you in peace with that law case or whatever it is?" "I don't like to be alone." "But anyone would do? a dog?" No reply. "You mean, a dog would be better because it doesn't ask questions to which it knows the answer." No reply. "Well, I have a pleasant-sounding voice. As I'm saying nothing, it may be soothing like the sound of the waves.
Autocrat and autocracy were not pleasant-sounding words just then. He snapped his head up, and for the first time looked as if he might be human. "We have to be autocratic in war time," he barked. "Not in everything," I barked back. Then, and not till then, did he soften. We had a little more conversation, and then he said he wanted that night to think over the unprecedented request.
