A careful search among the S's produced nothing in the shape of Sponge. 'Not likely, I should think, observed Miss Jawleyford, with a toss of her head, as her mamma announced the fact. 'Well, never mind, replied Mrs.
In an office building, away downtown, a little old lady stood in the lobby studying the great bulletin board of room numbers. "Can I help you, ma'am? "asked the elevator starter, seeing her perplexity. "I want Sykes and Barton, Scenic Sign Painters," she said, positively enough; "but there are so many S's, I can't seem to find them!" "All right, ma'am; here they are. Sixth floor, Room 614."
It had no Zulu clicks in it; and it seemed to have no angles or corners, no roughness, no vile s's or other hissing sounds, but was very, very mellow and rounded and flowing. In moving about the country in the trains, I had opportunity to see a good many Boers of the veldt. One day at a village station a hundred of them got out of the third-class cars to feed. Their clothes were very interesting.
I tell thee, Francisco, like as not it is all a folly, some senseless blunder of those Americanos that imposes upon Don Juan's simplicity and love for them." "How looks he, this Americano who seeks thee?" asked Francisco. "What care I how he looks," said Juanita, "or what he is? He may have the four S's, for all I care.
Caesar was always stupefied on seeing the transpositions of h's, s's, and z's that she made in her letters. There remained by Amparito, from her passage through the French school, a recollection of the history of France made up of a few anecdotes and a few phrases. Thus, it was not unusual to hear her speak of Turenne, of Francis I, or of Colbert.
I could never get over the impression that the Muscovite type had been set up by a drunken printer who couldn't read. The R's looked the wrong way, the L's stood bottom upward, H's became N's, and C's were S's, and lower case and small caps were generally mixed up.
It is called the LONDON PACKET, and its news, told with long s's and pretty curly italics, thrills one even now as one looks over the four short pages. The leading article is entitled 'Striking Instance of the PERFIDY of France. It is true the grievance goes back to Louis XIV., but the leader is written with plenty of spirit and present indignation.
Good Lordy! he got up on his Charleston pride-of-family like a circus-girl on stilts, and 'Edgard Ferry-Durand has got a great public career before him, s's he, 'and no true friend will let him think of taking a wife who is all history and no antecedents, a blockade-runner, a spy, and the brand-new widow of a blackguard and a jayhawker she had run away from practically on her wedding-night. Hy Jo'! the way he went on, you'd 'a' thought he was already Ned's uncle-in-l' " The speaker's face took a sudden distress "Great Caesar!"
"If you didn't mean that, then she has only to go down the steps and walk off, and she need never come back unless she chooses: Ships are burned behind one sometimes, and one doesn't care to return whence one came. Life need not consist only of lunches, and dinners, and Prince S's. It strikes me you take Aglaya Ivanovna for some conventional boarding-school girl.
Facing them in his doorway lounged the town barber, under his striped pole and sign-board "Simeon Toy, Hairdresser," with the s's still twiddling the wrong way; and beyond, outside the corner-shop, Mr Rogers, ship-broker and ship-chandler half paralytic but cunning yet, sat hunched in his invalid chair, blinking; for all the world like a wicked old spider on the watch for flies.
