"Stole away!" he muttered briefly in disgust, then called: "Ed!" As quietly as a shadow a second man joined him, greeting him with a "Hush!" This gentleman was in far more presentable repair and a more equable frame of mind. There was even a glint of amusement in his hard blue eyes. His countenance had an Irish cast. "Hush?" the other iterated with contempt. "What for? The hound's not here."
Having observed during the melee that strangers had arrived at his fort, he had washed and converted himself into a more presentable personage, and now came forward to the group of trappers, all of whom had assembled at the gate. Addressing them in a tone of affable hospitality he said "Good-day, friends; I'm glad to see you at the Mountain Fort.
"Keep your gloves on, Harold, and do not make them any worse. If you go out to that place to-day, they won't even be as presentable as they are." "I shall wash them." "Wash! As if oceans of Eau-de-Cologne would make them fit for society!" said Eustace, with infinite disgust, only equalled by the "Faugh!" with which Harold heard of the perfume.
When the news was brought to Dom Manuel that his redemption of Poictesme was completed, then Dom Manuel unarmed, and made himself presentable in a tunic of white damask and a girdle adorned with garnets and sapphires. He slipped over his left shoulder a baldric set with diamonds and emeralds, to sustain the unbloodied sword with which he had conquered here as upon Vraidex.
And I think it a presentable motive to a scholar, that, as, in an old community, a well-born proprietor is usually found, after the first heats of youth, to be a careful husband, and to feel an habitual desire that the estate shall suffer no harm by his administration, but shall be delivered down to the next heir in as good condition as he received it, so, a considerate man will reckon himself a subject of that secular melioration by which mankind is mollified, cured, and refined, and will shun every expenditure of his forces on pleasure or gain, which will jeopardize this social and secular accumulation.
Prince Shadursky was just up, when his footman announced to him that a Mr. Valyajnikoff wished to see him. The prince put on his dressing gown and went into the drawing-room, where the tolerably presentable but strangely dressed person of Mr. Escrocevitch presented itself to him.
Her care of me was maternal in its tenderness, but she did not keep me tidy enough for me to be presentable off-hand to company. There was always "company" wherever my mother went gentleman company especially. The gentlemen, in different places, and at different times, were not the same, but they had a common likeness.
But Helen was half way up the stairs. He heard her laugh as she reached the landing. "I am hungry, dear," she called over the banisters, "and so are you, only you don't know it! Crawl out of your long grass, and make yourself presentable before the gong sounds; or I shall send bananas for one, to your study!"
So altogether, I hope we shall be able to put the little church into a fairly presentable condition; that is, in case you decide, Lena, to use your funds for that purpose," he added, with the private resolve that the needy church should not be the loser even if the checks were applied to Gladys Seabrooke's benefit.
Pap ain't much on dressin' me up. Mr. Lapelle he promised me a new dress but say, who air you?" "I am Mrs. Gwyn, Moll." "I might ha' knowed it. You're her ma, huh? Well, I guess you'd better go on away an' let me alone. I ain't axin' no favours off'n " "I am not trying to do you a favour. I am only trying to make you a little more presentable. You are going up to town, Moll."
