Her grey eyes examined each of us in turn, and each made confession. One of the teamsters was a Baptist; another a Latter-Day Adventist; the Spaffords were Presbyterians; we, of course, belonged to the Church of England. "We ought to have a prayer-meeting," said the little schoolmarm. "Yes; we did oughter," assented Mrs. Spafford.
He longed to be in the world of real men and women, where joy and suffering, and the extremest force of passion had active play. Minnie was now a schoolmarm neat and simple, and sweet. Her figure was slender, and her hair a deep gold, parted simply in the centre, brought over the temples in crisp waves, and wound into a single coil behind.
By a singular coincidence, the words were hardly out of his mouth when we heard the familiar warning, the whirring, never-to-be-forgotten sound of the beast known to the Indians as "death in the grass." "Mercy!" exclaimed the schoolmarm, staring wildly about her. It is not easy to localise the exact position of a coiled rattlesnake by the sound of his rattle. "Don't move!" said Ajax.
"I kin pray first-rate when I git started," said the Baptist teamster. The prayer-meeting took place. Afterwards Ajax said to me "She's very small, is Whey-face, but somehow she seemed to fill the adobe." In the afternoon we had an adventure which gave us further insight into the character and temperament of the new schoolmarm.
I should rather read a description of Hoboken by Rudyard Kipling than a description of Florence by some New England schoolmarm. To the poet, all places are poetical; to the adventurous, all places are teeming with adventure: and to experience a lack of joy in any place is merely a sign of sluggish blood in the beholder.
Then maybe I'll learn to think twice before I sass once, as Mammy Riah says. I reckon what I need is a good strict schoolmarm to boss me 'round." "I hope the 'bossing' element will be absent from the school we shall choose. I doubt it would work very well with you, Beverly.
Tom cared very little about saving Tim, but he would do anything to serve Eloise, and the two boys were soon on their way, quarrelling some as they went, for each was jealous of the other's attention to the "little schoolmarm," as they called her.
The flat head, the lidless, baleful eyes, the grey-green, diamond- barred skin of the neck were unmistakable. "It's a rattler!" shrieked one of the rebels. They sprang back; the other children rose, panic-stricken. The schoolmarm spoke very quietly "Don't move! The snake will not hurt any of you." As she spoke she flicked again the lid of the basket. It fell on the head of the serpent.
"It's not so easy as you seem to imagine to find distinctive epithets. I challenge you. Begin with the pagoda." "One of the first canons of criticism is never to attempt the feat yourself; jeer rather at others." "The children don't like the new schoolmarm near so well as this 'un," observed Dodge, touching the grave with his broom.
The' was purt' nigh forty of 'em who arrived to make merry over Thanksgivin'. Some of 'em came the day before, an' some of 'em two days before, an' some didn't arrive till the day itself, 'cause they had lived such a ways. The' was four women an' three unmarried ladies, countin' Miss Wiggins, the Spike Crick schoolmarm, who was a friendly little thing, though a shade too coltish for her years.
