Copley" used to paint his old-fashioned merchant-princes in; and a quaint-looking key in his hand. Our conversation was short, but long enough to convince me that the little gentleman did not want my company in his chamber, and did not mean to have it. I have been making a great fuss about what is no mystery at all, a schoolgirl's secrets and a whimsical man's habits.
'Outside or in? 'Out, to be sure. 'Room inside only. 'Well! in then. The door opened, and a singularly quaint-looking personage presented himself. He was very stiff and prim in his appearance; dressed in a blue coat and scarlet waistcoat, with a rich bandanna handkerchief tied very neatly round his neck, and a very new hat, to which his head seemed little habituated.
The unseen laughed again, moved away from his screen, and presently showed himself on the edge of the shelf of rock. And Copplestone found himself staring at a queer figure of a man an under-sized, quaint-looking fellow, clad in dirty velveteens, a once red waistcoat, and leather breeches and gaiters, a sort of compound between a poacher, a game-keeper, and an ostler.

He whirled on me savagely, and his face was paler than I'd ever seen it. "And if I have what the hell is it to you?" he asked unpleasantly, and I stammered out some kind of apology. Far be it from me to pry into a man's past. I straightened Sandy Johnson's tie, turned up his sleeves another inch, and we started out. And I will say we were a quaint-looking outfit.

I certainly thought it impossible that any British troops could cross the Channel till a decisive fleet action had been fought. And, well I don't mind saying to you, Mrs. Otway, I still think it a pity that we have sent our Army abroad." Three days later Rose and her mother each received a quaint-looking postcard from "Somewhere in France." There was neither postmark nor date.
Just then the professor checked his camel and tried to bring it alongside of the pair behind, when a struggle ensued, the quaint-looking creature refusing to obey the rein or to alter its position in the train, whining, groaning, and appealing against force being used to place it where it made up its mind there must be danger.
