"He needn't have no silver-plated handles, nor much outside finish, if he's got a satin linin'. He's one of God's men." What really sent James Dutton to the war? Had he some unformulated and hitherto unsuspected dream of military glory, or did he have an eye to supposable gold ingots piled up in the sub-basement of the halls of the Montezumas?
"I oughtn't to have done it," said Lady Conant apologetically, "but there has been no one at Pardons for so long that you'll forgive my poaching. Now, can't you lunch with us? The vicar usually comes too. I don't use the horses on a Sunday" she glanced at the Brazilian's silver-plated chariot. "It's only a mile across the fields."
The latter removed the silver-plated tree from its sanctuary and carried it, to the strains of music and with much vociferation, to a mill, now no longer, at Nusle, at which place the adventure had been planned. Not a single apprentice was to be found in Prague: needless to say, they had the enthusiastic support and inspiring company of all the cobblers' errand-boys.
Nothing stuck up about him either, like Magnus Derrick." "Everything all right, Buck?" inquired Osterman, coming up to where Annixter, Hilma and Mrs. Derrick were sitting down to their lunch. "Yes, yes, everything right. But we've no cork-screw." "No screw-cork no scare-crow? Here you are," and he drew from his pocket a silver-plated jack-knife with a cork-screw attachment.
How did you leave my friend the Shah of Persia?" "Better," I said, stepping into the open carriage, "since he got on the water-wagon uses nothing but Eastridge silver-plated ice-pitchers now." "And my dear friend the Empress of China?" he asked, as he got in beside me.
It was a phenomenon by no means uncommon, for it is not easy to shoot down an unarmed victim. By way of rousing his savagery, the fellow uttered a bellow, then, like a warrior smiting his shield with his spear before the charge, he swung his heavy weapon, smashing at one blow that silver-plated merry-go-round with its cluster of bottles.
The swearing driver and dangling head of the dead horse had served to complete her discomfiture; and presently, the storm slackening a little, hearing footsteps behind her, she wheeled round, her chin bravely in the air, but her heart galloping with nervous fright, while her fingers closed down on the butt of the small silver-plated revolver which rested in the right- hand waist pocket of her long coat.
He was a brindled bull-terrier, and he had on a silver-plated collar with "Dandy" engraved on it. He lay all the evening by the fire, and when any of the family spoke to him, he wagged his tail, and looked pleased. I growled a little at him at first, but he never cared a bit, and just dozed off to sleep, so I soon stopped.
But then these fellows spoke Russian instead of Yiddish and altogether they belonged to a world far removed from mine. Many of these "modern" young Jews went to high school and wore pretty uniforms with silver-plated buttons and silver lace. To me they were apostates, sinners in Israel. And yet I could not think of them without a lurking feeling of envy.
But of late Eben seemed to have mastered his silver-plated bugle, and was really doing very well, with an occasional lapse excepted. Andy was a Kentucky boy, but outside of a little extra touch of pride, and a very keen sense of his own honor, you would never know it. Seth was the champion signal sender, and delighted to study up everything he could discover concerning this fascinating subject.
