Sheeny detailed to me the particulars to which I have briefly adverted; and, informing me at the same time that he had a family in England who would feel obliged to me for his release, and that his most intimate friend the English ambassador would move heaven and earth to revenge his fall, he directed my attention to a portmanteau passably well filled, which he hoped would satisfy the cupidity of my troops.
He liked to be able to say: "This is Sheeny Chi's coup!" or, "That's a job that only Soup-Can Charlie could do!" When a police surgeon hit on the idea of etherizing an obdurate "dummy chucker," to determine if the prisoner could talk or not, Blake appropriated the suggestion as his own.
A soft breeze sprung up, cooling the burning air after the heat of the day, and bringing with it the odors of a thousand flowers. A regal glory of shifting colors blazed on the breast of heaven the bay, motionless as a mirror, reflected all the splendid tints with a sheeny luster that redoubled their magnificence.
The image of the moon floated on the dark water, like a gigantic lotos-flower below the smaller, fragrant lotos-blossoms that it out-did in sheeny whiteness; the boat left a bright wake in its track, and every stroke of the oar broke the blackness of the water, which reflected the light in every drop.
"A lunatic and a razor make a cruel combination," I remarked. "It's put five men out of commission," Mr. Mellaire sighed. "There's O'Sullivan himself, and Christian Jespersen gone, and Andy Fay, and Shorty, and the sheeny. And the voyage not started yet. And there's Lars with the broken leg, and Davis laid off for keeps why, sir, we'll soon be that weak it'll take both watches to set a staysail."
Oh, oh, dear, what was that Thomas Jefferson had swooped for? For a brief instant it had glittered in the grass Rebecca Mary knew in her soul that it had glittered. Thomas Jefferson stretched his sheeny neck, curved it ridiculously, and crowed. It sounded like a crow of triumph; that was the way he crowed when the bug had been a delicious one. The Caller was coming out, Aunt Olivia with her.
"Yes, I would," catching desperately at the straw. "I'm not afraid of you; I'm not blaming you at all, only I I don't want to go to 'Sheeny Joe's." He looked at her, puzzled at her attitude, and yet somewhat reassured by her expression of confidence. Oh, well, what was the difference? It might be better to let her have her own way, and the change would not materially interfere with his plans.
He did not look like a docker. He was gaily dressed in a neat blue suit with a bright red tie: "Fellow workers I am Italian man! You call me Guinney, Dago, Wop you call another man Coon, Nigger you call another man a Sheeny! Stop calling names call men fellow workers! We are on strike let us not fight each other let us have peace let us have a good time!
Sharrkan gazed upon the ten girls and saw in their midst a lady like the moon at fullest, with ringleted hair and forehead sheeny white, and eyes wondrous wide and black and bright, and temple locks like the scorpion's tail; and she was perfect in essence and attributes, as the poet said of her in these couplets,
The ship ceased not sailing till they came to a narrow strait, where the sea was but a river between fair sloping hills alight with towers and palaces, opening a way to a great city that was in its radiance over the waters of the sea as the aspect of myriad sheeny white doves breasting the wave.
