In about an hour he was all secure on this save one lot of two hundred barrels, which he decided to offer in one lump to a famous operator named Genderman with whom his firm did no business. The latter, a big man with curly gray hair, a gnarled and yet pudgy face, and little eyes that peeked out shrewdly through fat eyelids, looked at Cowperwood curiously when he came in.
He thrust a pudgy, freckled hand through the bars of the gate to show that he bore me no ill-will, and also, I suppose, to mollify my disappointment. For although I had come too late to see the great poet himself and had even failed to see the inside of his house, yet I had at least been greeted at the gate by his proxy.
He is assisted by a lieutenant known as Frank, a pudgy, easy chap, swell-dressed, who goes among the tables seeing that dull care does not intrude. Now, what is there about Rooney's to inspire all this pother? It is more respectable by daylight; stout ladies with children and mittens and bundles and unpedigreed dogs drop up of afternoons for a stein and a chat.
I am very sorry this has happened!" Cameron followed him into his office, noting, as he passed, the red patches of rage on Mr. Bates' pudgy face, and catching a look of fierce hate from his small piggy eyes. It flashed through his mind that in Mr. Bates, at any rate, he had found no friend. The result of the interview with Mr. Fleming was an intimation to Mr. Bates that Mr.
Breen, I hope you will have better luck," Isaac said, rising from his chair and holding out his hand. "But you are not going, Isaac," protested Peter. "Yes, this young gentleman, I see, is in a good deal of trouble and I cannot help him much, so I will go away," and with a wave of his pudgy hand he shut the door behind him and trotted downstairs to his shop.
Nevertheless, as he strolled about, he watched for that occasional velvety glance that gave him pleasure, and amused himself with the types seated around him, or crossing his path heavy, swarthy Argentines, looking like Italian laborers grown rich their heavy, swarthy wives, come out to display all the jewels that could be conveniently worn at once pretty, dark-eyed girls, already with a fatal tendency to embonpoint, wearing diamonds in their ears and round their necks as an added glory to costumes fresh from the rue de la Paix grave little boys, in gloves and patent-leather boots, seated without budging by their mammas, sucking the tops of their canes in imitation of their elder brothers, who wandered about in pairs or groups, all of the latest cut, eying the ladies but rarely addressing them tall Englishmen, who looked taller than they were in contrast to the pudgy race around them, as the Germans looked lighter and the French more blond Italian opera singers, Parisian actresses Spanish dancers, music-hall soubrettes diplomats of all nations clerks out for a holiday sailors on shore tourists come to profit by a spectacle that has no equal in the southern world, and little of the kind that is more amusing in the north.
Away they went full of hope, each feeling that he surely could reach the top. But soon a fat, pudgy boy came slowly back, and in his hand he held out to the Chief a leaf of cactus. The Chief smiled and said: "My boy, you did not reach the foot of the mountain; you did not even get across the desert." Later a second boy returned. He carried a twig of sagebrush. "Well," said the Chief.
They invaded the depressing atmosphere of the European-style hotel, where Geoffrey and Asako were trying to enjoy a tasteless lunch their grubby, bare feet pattering on the worn lino. It pleased him to watch them, playing their game of Jonkenpan with much show of pudgy fingers, and with restrained and fitful scamperings. He even made a tentative bid for popularity by throwing copper coins.
I leave you to draw your own conclusions from that. I suppose Whiskers thought he might curry favour with me by praising the creature, little dreaming what my real sentiments towards it were, so he stuck out his pudgy hand and stroked Mr. Hyde's back. 'What a nice cat, he said. The nice cat flew at him and bit him. Then it gave a fearful yowl, and bounded out of the door.
I read "'WIT. 'The pudgy Master Schrein Drank many a glass of wine, But death cut short his thread. "When the sparkling wit of this roguish epigram had been sufficiently admired, I treated them to the following one in addition "'STINGING REPLY.
