Now I was more than ten years his senior, and Bob's manners were as charming as only the manners of a nice Eton boy can be; therefore I held my peace, but with difficulty refrained from nodding sapiently to myself. We took a couple of steps in silence, then Bob stopped short. I did the same.
"Guess it must be something for the wedding," declared he, sapiently. The next day was the day of the Presbyterian Sunday school picnic. It was bound to be beautiful weather, because it always was. The Presbyterians seemed to have an understanding with Providence to that effect. But Jane, who must have been born a sceptic, was up very early just to see that there was no mistake.
"Who were his friends?" "That I can't tell you, for 'e were very close, an' when 'e went out of doors I never knowd where 'e went, which is jest like 'em; for they ses they're goin' to work, an' you finds 'em in the beershop. Mr. Whyte told me 'e was a-goin' to marry a heiress, 'e was." "Ah!" interjected Mr. Gorby, sapiently. "He 'ad only one friend as I ever saw a Mr.
But here the burly Ramierez intervened. "Ah, Mother of God! May the devil fly away with all this nonsense! I will have no more of it," he said impatiently to the girl. "Have a care, Don Pancho," he turned to the editor; "it is a trick!" "One I think I know," said Grey sapiently.
"Well, I warmed the old thing up once!" he muttered defiantly. "'Twas coming, too. 'Twould have come in one minute more!" But neither grandmother nor the girls vouchsafed him another look. After a glance round, Addison drew back, shutting the kitchen door, and resumed his pencil. He shook his head sapiently to me, but seemed to be rocked by internal mirth.
"Degustibus non est disputandum," observed Thompson. "Very true," said the marine officer, looking sapiently. "That remark of yours about the winds is opposite. We ought to dispute their entrance, as you said in Latin. But is it quite fair, my dear doctor, for you and me to converse in Latin? We may be taking an undue advantage of the rest of the company." "Greek! Greek!" said the purser.
One evening a discussion arose about the moon, and Saleh was trying to teach Tommy something, God knows what, about it. Amongst other assertions he informed Tommy that the moon travelled from east to west, "because, you see, Tommy," he said, "he like the sun sun travel west too." Tommy shook his head very sapiently, and said, "No, I don't think that, I think moon go the other way."
"So are a good many fellows." "Could you not give me an introduction?" Marsh shook his head sapiently for a considerable time, and with all this shaking, as it appeared, out fell words of wisdom. "Don't see it. I'm awfully spooney on her myself; and, you know, when a fellow introduces another fellow, that fellow always cuts the other out."
Thus arose between England and France a contest resembling those furious wars which marked the reigns of King John and Charles VII. Our beaux esprits drew splendid comparisons between the existing state of things and the ancient rivalry of Carthage and Rome, and sapiently concluded that, as Carthage fell, England must do so likewise. Bonaparte was at St. Cloud when Lord Whitworth left Paris.
"Ah," said Painter sapiently, "he got out there; but how did he enter?" "No doubt by the door," said Random sharply. "We don't know that, sir. Jane says she did not hear the bell." "Mrs. Jasher might have let the man in, whomsoever he was, secretly." "Why should she, sir?" "Ah! now you are asking more than I can tell you. Only Mrs. Jasher can explain, and it seems to me that she will die."
