These he placed on a rickety table, and Aspel wrote a scrawly note, in which he gave himself very bad names, and begged Mr Blurt to come and see him, as he had got into a scrape, and could by no means see his way out of it. Having folded the note very badly, he rose with the intention of going out to post it, but his friend offered to post it for him.
A letter received just before leaving the house had not been read, but its writing was recognized, and going to the door she tried to make out the scrawly contents and get, at the same time, the breath of fresh air brought in by its opening as hurrying customers came and went. To read there was impossible, however.
But wait! And underneath he'd writ a bar of music with notes running up and down, and signed his name to it not plain, mind you, though he can write a good business hand if he wants to, but all scrawly like some one important, so you couldn't tell if it was meant for Dutch or English. Could you beat that for nerve in a day, in a million years?
"Will you sign a receipt for the three thousand five hundred livres, which I am pining to hand over to you, my friend, and I will tell you?" "Where's the money?" "In my pocket." Without further words Heron dragged the inkhorn and a sheet of paper towards him, took up a pen, and wrote a few words rapidly in a loose, scrawly hand.
Better give him a chance." The note was signed in David Pollard's well-known, scrawly handwriting. "I'm sorry you can't see Mr. Farnum tonight," said Benson, pleasantly. "He'll be here early in the morning, though." "When do you sail?" asked Truax, quickly. "That you would have to ask Mr. Farnum, too," smiled Jack. "But, see here, Mr. Pollard engaged me to work aboard one of your submarines."
The death of Darby of old Darby, as he had begun to be called cut off Little Darby from his "schoolin'", in the middle of his third year, and before he had learned more than to read and cipher a little and to write in a scrawly fashion; for he had been rather irregular in his attendance at all times.
"I must be mistaken about her going back," Patty thought, remembering the luncheon on the eighth, and then, lest she herself might be mistaken in the date, she looked at the invitation again. It read "the eighth," and though Marie's handwriting was scrawly and not very legible, the figure eight was large and plain.
It was written in a scrawly, heavy hand, which was almost illegibly faint and yellow after the lapse of more than fifty years, and must have been written by one little accustomed to the pen, for there was much hard spelling as well as irregular chirography. Adelle looked for the signature. It was in the lower inside corner, and the name, in the effort to economize space, was almost unreadable.
Smoothing it out he saw that it was a piece of book paper and was written on. When it was nicely smoothed out and laid upon the inside of the book found in his desk and now produced from his pocket, he read the following inscription written in a scrawly hand: "This book is the property of Peter Herring, Hilltop. Don't steal."
"Look, Average, it's the 'Mercy' sign again. What a hideous travesty!" Average Jones shook his bead. "It isn't 'Mercy, Bert. It's the label that he attached, for precaution, to everything that had to do with his deadly stuff. The formula for cyanide of cacodyl is 'Me-2CY. It was the scrawly handwriting that misled; that's all."
