However, to keep me wife in tune, I'll go or come, as the case may be." Mrs. Brent did not attempt to be funny with this wounded bear, and they parted very good friends. As her visitor was going, Bertha suddenly said, "Wait a minute," and, going to her hand-bag, brought out an envelope addressed in Congdon's big scrawling hand. "Do you know these people?" Mrs. Brent glanced at it.
But I'll tell you one thing more, you two nasty nice creatures that are worse than scrawling snakes I'll tell you this: It won't do you one particle of good to set the police after Jack. So go ahead and tell, and be just as treacherous and mean as you like. You won't have the pleasure of sending him to jail because they'll never catch him. My heavens, how I despise and loathe you two!"
He was sixty years of age. His frame was slight, his figure stooping, his digestion very weak, his manner more glacial and sepulchral than ever; but if there were a hard-working man in Europe, that man was Philip II. And there he sat at his table, scrawling his apostilles.

"The night following our visit to the Flying Dollars Merry sat up scrawling on a piece of paper in an aimless way, while I went to bed. He woke me from a sound sleep by uttering an exclamation of triumph.

The remainder confined themselves absolutely to business, scrawling postal-cards or reading their mail. The pounce of the official stamp on the letters, as the postmistress checked them off for the mail-bag, was the only sound in the hot stillness. A heavily built man, older than those who had been keeping the post-office lively, now took advantage of the lull to approach Judith.
Underneath them again in a scrawling, schoolboy fist, very like Bastin's, was inscribed, "Tell us how this is done, you silly doctor, who think yourself so clever." "It seems that the devil really can quote Scripture," was Bastin's only comment, while Jacobsen stared before him and smiled.
Then he dipped his paint brush in the blood and daubed on the wall in big scrawling letters: 'There is no God! Then he took his wife in his arms, stabbed her to the heart and cut his own throat. And there they lay, his arms about her, his cheek against hers, dead. It was murder as a fine art. Gad, I wish I could write." Kittredge introduced Howard "a Yale man just came on the paper."
Clare went in and looked over the square board with its many little slips for the names of the guests. Some were on visiting cards and some were written in the large, scrawling, illiterate hand of the head waiter. Some belonged to people who were already gone.
