He was entirely covered with black with the exception of his right arm, which was bare to a point a little more than halfway from the elbow to his shoulder. The bare arm glowed with a luminous bluish light. This condition of things was brought about by powdering his arm with pulverized luminous paint.
It'll be just as well to have plenty of petrol." A matter of ten minutes or a quarter of an hour before the motor-car was at the police station. Malley slipped into the driver's seat, and Green coiled up his long body by his side. With a jerk they started, and in a little were out on the broad Portsmouth road, while a thin, penetrating rain was powdering the windscreen.
"What kind of hell has broke loose?" muttered Pulz. The Nigger fell flat on his face, uttering deep lamentations. "Voodoo! Voodoo!" he groaned. A gentle shower of white flakes began, powdering the surface of everything. Far out to sea we could make out the sun on the water. Gradually the roaring died down; the lightning ceased. Comparative peace ensued. We looked again toward the cliff.
And, hark you! the next time you come to me, take care to come with a better story let your father and mother, and six brothers and sisters, be all lying ill of the fever do you understand?" He tore the bill into bits as he spoke, and showered it over the boy's head. Pembroke's companions laughed at this operation, and he facetiously called it "powdering a dun."
The presiding genius of the mystic circle, in our hideous nineteenth- century costume, relieved only by a green scarf, the wind drowning his voice and the dust powdering his whiskers, looked thoroughly wretched; so did the aspirants for bardic honours; and I believe, after about an hour of it, we all of us, as we stood shivering round the sacred stones, began half to wish for the Druid's sacrificial knife to end our sufferings.
The concierge regarded us without cordiality, while by no means ceasing his endeavours to cover our shoes with his sweepings. "Third story back," he said. "Does M. Bernet lodge alone?" "One of him's enough," the old fellow growled, whacking out his dirty broom on the door-post, powdering us with dust.
In one corner Silvani the illustrious Silvani, still wearing the large white apron he assumes when powdering his clients was putting away his powder-puff and turning down his sleeves with a satisfied air. I stood petrified. What was going on at my aunt's? She discovered my astonishment, and without turning round she said in agitated tones: "Ah! is it you, Ernest?"
Sliverstone, with dishevelled hair, powdering away with pen, ink, and paper, at a rate which, if he has any power of sustaining it, would settle the longest sermon in no time. At first he is too much absorbed to be roused by this intrusion; but presently looking up, says faintly, ‘Ah!’ and pointing to his desk with a weary and languid smile, extends his hand, and hopes you’ll forgive him.
The water will be quite white as it leaves it, carrying away with it a fine powder, which you could easily collect if you were to let the water run into a vase, where the powder would soon settle to the bottom. That powder is starch the same starch as washerwomen use for starching linen, and which our grandfathers employed in powdering their wigs.
At half-past four Sir Roger Deane was waiting; in the hall. Presently Dora appeared. "Where are the others?" she asked. "Charlie's having a drink. Your father and Maud aren't coming. They're going to rest." "Oh, well, we might start." "Excuse me, Miss Dora, there's some powder on your nose." "Oh, is there? Thanks." "What have you been powdering for?" "Really, Sir Roger!
