There was a moment's pause; then, with a deepening color, she turned to Ben Blair. "Come again soon," she added in a low tone. Summer, tan-colored, musical with note of katydid and cicada, and the constant purr of the south wind, was upon the prairie country. Under the eternal law of necessity, the necessity of sunburnt, stunted grass, the boundaries of the range extended far in every direction.
"Do you have two Master's degrees?" "Yes," she would say, "I collect them." "What will you do with your knowledge?" he would ask. "Be a better person for it and that is all. I'll sit on my butt in the future." "Oh, very good," he would say. "Maybe you can put Fidel Castro on your lap while you sit and get him to purr like a kitten." "Oh, what an excellent idea," she would say.
These tell the tale, and if at dusk we watch closely, we may see the screech owl look out of his door, stretch every limb, purr his shivering song, and silently launch out over the fields, a feathery, shadowy death to all small mice who scamper too far from their snow tunnels.
It'd have the advantage, anyhow, that I'd do it free. Anyone else will charge you three guineas at the least." "I don't think," said Mrs. Hilary, "that relations or connections ought to do one another. No, I'd better go to someone I don't know, if you'll give me the name and address." "I thought you'd probably rather," Rosalind said in her slow, soft, cruel voice, like a cat's purr.
Often the old man took his violin from the corner, and as he played he whistled or sang in a quavering voice, Jan's tail beat time on the floor, Hippity-Hop joined with a song of her own, though it was only a loud purr, while Cheepsie, perched on their loved master's shoulder, sang and trilled as loudly as he could, trying to make more music than the bird that lived in the violin.
He took his place at a table where the overworked waiter found time to cut up his meat and put everything in easy reach of his right hand. "Well," Fulkerson resumed, "they took me round everywhere in Moffitt, and showed me their big wells lit 'em up for a private view, and let me hear them purr with the soft accents of a mass-meeting of locomotives.
Burton's voice it was unquestionably Burton speaking came to Jimmie Dale now distinctly. "No, I didn't! I tell you, I didn't! I I hadn't the nerve." Jimmie Dale slipped his black silk mask over his face; and with extreme caution, on hands and knees, began to climb the stairs. "So!" It was old Isaac now, in a half purr, half sneer. "And I was so sure, my young friend, that you had.
Bennett's sleepy eyes opened, and the soft purr left her voice. "Those pink roses in her red hair are quite too daring for good taste." "Daring," echoed Mrs. Arnold, but half catching Mrs. Bennett's remark. "Daring, did you say? Nancy is downright bold. The idea of that young girl going to parties given by the officers in the camps about here. Such conduct would not have been tolerated in my day."
Then Smoke suddenly woke with a loud sharp purr and sat up. It neither stretched, washed nor turned: it listened. And the doctor, watching it, realized that a certain indefinable change had come about that very moment in the room. A swift readjustment of the forces within the four walls had taken place a new disposition of their personal equations.
"Anne," said Stella severely, "do you own that animal?" "No, I do NOT," protested disgusted Anne. "The creature followed me home from somewhere. I couldn't get rid of him. Ugh, get down. I like decent cats reasonably well; but I don't like beasties of your complexion." Pussy, however, refused to get down. He coolly curled up in Anne's lap and began to purr.
