For a few seconds nothing was said, both being too busily engaged with the contents of their plates to join in any conversation; but at last Dick poised his spoon in the air and commenced in a serio-comic tone, "I guess we shall have to pay for our evil deeds this evening. I saw the storm-warning hoisted on our step-mother's face all night, so look out for squalls."
Their final curtain went down on a bit of serio-comic drama staged, impromptu, on a North River dock, with barely enough cash in hand to pay the company's home passage. On this occasion Patsy had missed her cue for the first time. She had been left in the wings, so to speak; and that night she filled the only vacant bed in the women's free ward of the City Hospital. It was pneumonia.
He looked at me with that quizzical, serio-comic stare which so became him, and with great heartiness replied: "No they were damned mean though I did not realize how mean. The mark was so obvious and tempting I could not resist, but there shall be no more of them. Come, let us go and have a drink."
The thought that Tavia might have met this man while engaged in her brief and notable stage career, as related in "Dorothy Dale's Great Secret," flashed across Dorothy's mind. With it came a thought of danger Tavia was scarcely yet cured of her dramatic fever. The sheep stood around in the most serio-comic style, and the seminary girls were scarcely less comic.
The hunters now advanced, upon which the bears turned, rose again upon their haunches, and repeated their serio-comic examination. This was repeated several times, until the hunters, piqued at their unmannerly staring, rebuked it with a discharge of their rifles.
Burton and his friends struggled for a season, but Jefferson completely knocked them out. Even had Burton lived, and had there been no diverting war of sections to drown all else, Jefferson would have come to his growth and taken his place as the first serio-comic actor of his time. Rip Van Winkle was an evolution.
"'To Kentucky! Why, you know nobody there. "'No matter: I can soon make acquaintances. "'And what will you do when you get there? "'Hunt! "My father gave a long, low whistle, and looked in my face with a serio-comic expression. I was not far in my teens, and to talk of setting off alone for Kentucky, to turn hunter, seemed doubtless the idle prattle of a boy.
If you will not aid me for the sake of a poor, helpless, infatuated girl, who is on the brink of ruin " "Missis Dashwood," said the Bloater, with a look of serio-comic dignity, "I scorns bribery as much as you does. `No bribery, no c'rupt'ons, no Popery, them's my mottoes besides a few more that there's no occasion to mention. W'ether or not I gives 'im up depends on circumstances.
She sprang back into the middle of the room, and, striking a serio-comic attitude, continued: "Here I am in no end of trouble for me. There is a grief preying on my vitals that would make a poet's hair stand on end should he attempt to portray it. Were there a lover around the corner, sighing like a furnace, I would say to him 'Avaunt!
No, I didn't; neither do I care if I never did, provided I secure old Cockle's money and property. If it could be so managed, I would prefer being married to her in the dark." The old peer walked two or three times through the room in a kind of good-humored perplexity, raising his wig and scratching his head under it, and surveying Woodward from time to time with a serio-comic expression.
