The astonishing part of it is that he has not yet been mobbed by the women who have followed his directions." "So you think the daily is a mistake and that your enterprising idiot should be mobbed? Why?" She seemed to be taking him very seriously. "It is all wrong, you think?" "What could a Yankee six-footer cousin of old Fisbee's know about currant jelly and work-baskets?"
As for steering, they never would let me go to the helm, except during a calm, when I and the figure-head on the bow were about equally employed. By the way, that figure-head was a passenger I forgot to make mention of before. He was a gallant six-footer of a Highlander "in full fig," with bright tartans, bare knees, barred leggings, and blue bonnet and the most vermilion of cheeks.
It has to be settled whenever a new man claims power, and there is always a struggle until it is fought out by main force of brain or muscle. Wade had made up his mind on this subject. He waited a moment until the men were still. He was a Saxon six-footer of thirty. He stood easily on his pins, as if he had eyed men and facts before.
Williams was a six-footer, a graduate "bucko" now in charge of this big skysail-yarder, and he had resented Murphy's appearance on board with whisky and kind words for his men before he was through with them.
Jack ascended to the bridge, to find himself facing a six-footer in his early thirties. There was a younger officer at the far end of the bridge. "Does Mr. Farnum consider you capable of showing us the way into the harbor!" demanded the commanding officer of the "Hudson." "I think so, sir. He trusts me with his own boats." "Then you are " "Benson, Mr. Farnum's captain of the submarine boats."
He's a six-footer and over; he spangled a lot, and he smiled pretty comme le printemps, and was sharp enough to keep clear of women that could hurt him.
You don't need much else, and we didn't get much else at the training-table," the father used to say, and they unquestionably formed the bulk of the boy's naturally fine physique, for he developed in spite of much physical misuse into a two-hundred-pound six-footer. Francis began smoking at twelve.
Now, while Stackpole was a fellow equal to two if not three of the boys, with regard to physical abilities, death and the possession of firearms levels all such distinctions, and a bit of lead would sting just as much from one of their guns as if it had come from the weapon of a six-footer; hence, he made up his mind to walk a straight line while among the possessors of all this hardware.
He was between thirteen and fourteen, and it seemed utterly shameful that men, calling themselves soldier should make war on such a tender boy and drag him off to prison. But no six-footer had a more soldierly heart than little Red Cap, and none were more loyal to the cause. It was a pleasure to hear him tell the story of the fights and movements his regiment had been engaged in.
The diminutive, in Bildy's phraseology, implied depreciation; that was why he stigmatized a regular six-footer as a "monnie." When Doddy came to Ardmuirland, Bildy discovered his real vocation! Doddy or, in English, Georgie was the orphan child of Robina's sister.
