When they parted a half-hour later, he said to her: "Will you give me my commission to go to Greyhope?" "Oh no, I cannot," she said very gravely; "but come to Greyhope-when I go back." "And when will that be?" he said, smiling, yet a little ruefully too. "Please ask Mrs. Townley," she replied; "she is coming also." Marion, knew what that commission to go to Greyhope meant.
He pictured the successful Stocks welcomed by her, and words of praise for which he would have given his immortal soul, meted out lavishly to that owl-like being. It was a dismal business, and ruefully, but half-humorously, he caught at the paradox of his fate. Through the swiftly failing darkness the inn of Etterick rose before him, a place a little apart from the village street.
"Oh, I don't theorize on subjects I am ignorant of." "You give me very cold comfort." "I didn't know," said Margaret, with a laugh that was too genuine to be consoling, "that you were traveling for comfort; I thought it was for information." "And I am getting a great deal," said Mr. Lyon, rather ruefully. "I'm trying to find out where. I ought to have been born."
The disinterestedness of your attitude, the persistence of your effort, the piety, the beauty, in short the edification, of the whole spectacle." Nick laughed a little ruefully. "How near to having had enough of me you must be when you speak of me as edifying!" Nash changed colour slightly at this; it was the first time in his friend's remembrance that he had given a sign of embarrassment.
"No, I don't, but as things are going I almost wish I did," Gertrude answered, not realizing that before the evening was over there would be one person whom she would be ruefully willing to slap several times over. As they turned into the village street from the beach road they met Jimmie, who had been having his after-dinner pipe with Grandfather Amos, with whom he had become a prime favorite.
No girl had ever sewed a button on for him. When one did, he would propose to her on the spot. He wondered what Parker was thinking of not to seize such an opportunity. "That's what I had ought to 'a' done," acknowledged Parker, shaking his head ruefully. "Yes, sir; that's what I'd ought to 'a' done. I had ought to 'a' seized that opportunity an' pressed my suit."
He had been strung up when he spoke, and the interruption had undone him. He reflected ruefully that he might have said something to the point if he had been allowed to go straight on; now he had forgotten what he had meant to say. "Oh, nothing," he replied. Silence fell once more on the nursery.
"He claimed that in lighting his pipe " "Poor Cassidy lied every way he could think of to save you," said Barker ruefully. "It's the young cad you befriended and helped along that's tricked you in the end, and you're not the only man, I'm afraid." "Roped Rafferty in, I suppose," said Schuchardt, while a light of superior wisdom stole slowly over the face of Lieutenant Ennis.
He watched me with a silent and exaggerated interest as I laid it on the table. From a distance without came the shouts of the survivors making for the tavern. "'Sfortunate you had the drum, Davy," he said gravely, "'rwe'd had no procession." "It is fortunate I have it now," I answered, looking ruefully at the battered rim where Nick had missed the skin in his ardor.
Abraham ruefully watched the retreating figure, perfectly assured that the Lord had got the best of the bargain, and that he himself had been duped, worsted, and befooled. God did not go to Sodom himself, but sent two angels to inspect it. They reached its gate in the evening, and found Lot sitting there.
