"I shall always pray God to be a gentleman, sir," was the spirited response, "but I must learn to fight my own battles. Were it not for hardy pastimes with these other stout lads, think you I could have cracked the crown of a six-foot pirate?" Uncle Peter gazed at the boy before he spoke.
There was to be a six-foot piazza in front, and a little platform in back, with steps descending to the spring. There had been long discussions about the method of heating the mansion.
The comfort of a six-foot bath to persons of any considerable elongation is always manifest, while a four-foot tub is merely better than a footbath. Where hot water is not on tap in unlimited quantities, five feet is a fair compromise. In porcelain enameled ware a tub of this size costs from $27 to $60, without fittings.
"Land!" murmured little Fisher who from his diminutive stature had acquired from his fellow-mids the sobriquet of "Six-foot" "Land! it's nothing but `land ho! What land is it, for gracious sake?" to Mr Carter, the master's-mate, who happened to be standing near him. "The Rocca Islands," answered Carter.
As the lad crossed the bridge, thinking nothing of the giddy, profound depths on either side, there being not the slightest protection in the way of rail to the six-foot wide path, he shook back his brown hair, thrust his hands in his pockets, and with the sheath of his sword banging against his legs, started off along the first level place for a run.
"Are ye not afraid of that beast?" said the smith, showing his fang. "Arrah, it's vicious that he looks!" "It's at you, then! I don't fear him;" and thereupon I passed under the horse, between his hind legs. "And is that all you can do, agrah?" said the smith. "No," said I, "I can ride him." "Ye can ride him, and what else, agrah?" "I can leap him over a six-foot wall," said I.
After a while I'll begin to believe that there must be something hauntingly beautiful and girlish about me or every one wouldn't petrify when I announce that I've a six-foot son attached to my apron-strings. He looks twenty-one, but he's seventeen. He thinks the world's rotten because he can't grow one of those fuzzy little mustaches that the men are cultivating to match their hats.
The high cost of a large-size mahogany table, however, will probably enable us to see some of the special beauties of golden oak. A six-foot round table in the latter wood is priced at about $20. Medium height chairs, with cane seats, $2.75; leather, $3.25. Sideboards are now usually built in; otherwise the buffet table, free from excessive ornamentation, is given preference.
I have seen a big six-foot bass singer, very popular at the opera two or three seasons ago, walking to and fro with the tears running down his cheeks for a long time before his entrance, and one of our greatest coloratura prima donnas has come to me before the opera, sung a quavering note in a voice full of emotion and said, with touching accents: "See, that is the best I can do.
Corney, a superb specimen of a six-foot Irish-Canadian in early manhood, now led away to the log shanty where the very scarcity of luxuries and the roughness of their lives were sources of merriment. For the Colts, though born and bred in the backwoods of Canada, had lost nothing of the spirit that makes the Irish blood a world-wide synonym of heartiness and wit.
