"Gee!" he cried, "ther' ain't none. They're sure both 'bug." A great laugh greeted the retort, but Joe shook his head. "That sure ain't the answer, but it's real bright," he admitted reluctantly, while Van preened himself. "Guess they're both that wise they don't know if they're comin' down or goin' up," he went on, seeking to add to the score he felt he had made.
The little Georgiev made no protest, submitted to the inevitable like a gentleman and a soldier, went out of her life, indeed, as unobtrusively as he had entered it. The carrier pigeon preened itself comfortably on the edge of the washstand. Harmony ceased her hysterical crying at last and pondered what was best to do. Monia was still breakfasting so incredibly brief are great moments.
But there came a time when it was evident that, in spite of the gorgeous appearance he presented, he was not altogether happy. While he polished his beak and preened his feathers more assiduously than ever, there was a note of pleading in his cooing that puzzled the children, and caused Andrea to remark: "I wonder what can be the matter with Chico!"
All the woman in her preened and plumed herself in the consciousness of the power of her beauty. Let the Battle of the Street clamour never so loudly now, let the suction of the Pit be never so strong, Eve triumphed. Venus toute entiere s'attachait a sa proie.
The college had opened this year with an increased enrollment of twenty-five; and though West privately felt certain that his successor was only reaping where he himself had sown, you could not be certain that the low world would so see it. As for the Post, it was a mere stop-gap, a momentary halting-place where he preened for a far higher flight.
"And now," she gloated, "that faded Elsa will cease to lord it over me and to think that another Karl Armstadt has brought me this why that stingy fellow would never have bought me a blue-stone ring, if he had been made the Emperor's Minister." Katrina now rose and preened before her mirror. "Won't you place it round my neck?" she asked, holding out the necklace.
He could not raise his head or stir a finger for the trance that held him, and Peroo was smiling vacantly at the lightning. The Bull paused by the shrine, his head lowered to the damp earth. A green Parrot in the branches preened his wet wings and screamed against the thunder as the circle under the tree filled with the shifting shadows of beasts.
Some men lazily raked new-cut grass and a peacock preened itself by the sundial. The glass conservatory showed signs of activity. The florists were at work for the coming event. Then he looked at his daughter, who waited with polite restraint until his reverie was ended.
"And we'll never call you a coward again." "You have given us a hostage," said the professor. "You have done well." Wash strutted and preened himself over this praise until another bullet sang over his head. Then he dropped down flat on the ground and groaned: "Golly! dat bullet said jes' as plain as day 'Whar is dat coon? D' youse 'speck dat it meant me?"
On he went again, faster and faster. He had now gone half the distance, and was getting tired. A little pool of water by the roadside caught his eye. Into it he plunged, bathed, drank, preened his plumage for a few moments, and then started homeward again. He knew his home was on the upper side of the road, for he kept his eye bent in that direction, scanning the fields.
