Before I had time to do anything about it, the ball came bouncing in, hit me on the side of the head, and hurried off to hide itself under an old lady dozing in the corner. Betty followed more sedately. "Where's my ball?" she asked. "Has it come in?" I said in surprise. "Then it must have gone out again. It noticed you weren't here." "I believe you've got it." "I swear I haven't, Betty.
This affectionate behaviour of my wife's brought me a little out of the vapours, and I began to consider what I was doing; I corrected my wandering fancy, and began to argue with myself sedately what business I had after threescore years, and after such a life of tedious sufferings and disasters, and closed in so happy and easy a manner; I, say, what business had I to rush into new hazards, and put myself upon adventures fit only for youth and poverty to run into?
They were able to see into the room without going on to the verandah, and as each one glanced into it, he saw enough to rebuke him and make him turn back and walk sedately and quietly to the roadway. When Slaughter reached the cottage the second time and looked into the room, Ailleen was on her knees crouched down beside the low bed on which lay the still form of her dead father.
And one of the Sons of Aklis, Zaragal, beholding this masterpiece of Dob, which was served to the guests in the Great Hall on the fortieth evening, was fair to exclaim in extemporaneous verse: Have I been wafted to a rise Of banquet spread in Paradise, Dower'd with consuming powers divine; That I, who have not fail'd to dine, And greatly, Fall thus upon the cater and wine Sedately?
A servant announced "Monsieur Gribton," and a little grizzled man hobbled in, leaning heavily on a stick. He wore a short beard, and in his tanned face two clever grey eyes twinkled sedately. He shook hands gravely when Lewis introduced George, but his eyes immediately returned to the former's face. "You look a fit pair," he said.
The fine weather continued till the "Helen" had passed Cape Ortegal, and was fairly in the Bay of Biscay. The wind then increased, and became variable, and dark clouds were seen banking up in the south-western horizon. The kind old captain became less cheerful than usual. The brig no longer glided on smoothly and sedately as before, but began to roll and pitch with the rising sea.
Come, Newt! Abel Newt! Come, Newt! It is I, Everardus, Dominie Bogardus come, come, come! and be d d, ding, dong, bell, amen-n-n-n! Later in the morning the bells rang again. The house doors opened, and the sidewalk swarmed with well-dressed people. Boniface Newt and his wife sedately proceeded to church not a new bonnet escaping Mrs.
And then, because she was almost famished, she ate what had been given her. Peter felt his eyes blur. Henri came back to her presently with wine. He dusted the bottle lovingly, and filled her glass with a flourish. She looked up with a tremulous smile: "My godfather's order, Henri?" "Your venerable godfather's order, Mademoiselle," he replied sedately.
"Si, si, Rosa," he replied equably, and then to us he smiled and, raising his hat, set it well over his eyes. He looked at his watch. "Gee!" he said, "I must be off. I'll have to finish the yarn another time. Good day to you." Looking down at his boots for a moment reflectively, and pocketing his pipe, he stepped down and walked sedately towards his house.
No clang of bugle rose from their stern ranks, but in the centre waved the leopards of England, on the right the ensign of their Company with the roses of Loring, and on the left, over three score of Welsh bowmen, there floated the red banner of Merlin with the boars'-heads of the Buttesthorns. Gravely and sedately they stood beneath the morning sun waiting for the onslaught of their foemen.
