She's a good mixer. Besides, if she'd made up her mind to play that new pipe organ you could pretty near bet she'd do it. So inside of three minutes she had us loaded into the car and off we rolls to surprise the Zoscos. Villa Nova, you know, is perched on the top of quite a sizable hill, with a private road windin' up from the Pike.
He was not fat but he was exceedingly well fed; his cheeks were pads, and the unroughened hand which lay helpless upon the khaki-colored blanket was slightly puffy. He seemed prosperous, extremely married and unromantic; and altogether unromantic appeared this sleeping-porch, which looked on one sizable elm, two respectable grass-plots, a cement driveway, and a corrugated iron garage.
Entering a sizable room evidently used for dining for its chief articles of furniture were two tables made from planed palm trunks McKay waved a hand toward a row of four doorways on the right. "First three are ours," he explained. "Only vacancies here. Eight rooms in this hotel the other four over there." He pointed across the room, on the other side of which opened four similar doors.
Once in the room, the lid was off in a twinkling, and out came a sizable plate, enveloped in dainty, clean napkins, which, being removed in layers, exhibited, in all its brown deliciousness, a huge turkey, just done to a turn. The party gathered around in pleased wonder, and as Molly threw the napkins into the basket a card fell on the floor.
"Father here?" he asked curtly, though from under the stiff brim of his John B. Stetson he studied the boy closely. Sizable for his age, he thought. A mite spare in the ribs maybe, and that possibly due to rapid growth. But the face strong and pleasing and the eyes like Uncle Isaac's. When all was said, a darn good sample. "No, sir," the boy answered, resting on the saw-buck. "Where is he?"
I can show you where you and I can waltz into the Chicago Pit, make a killing on December wheat, and escape with a sizable wad before our identity is discovered." Cappy, caught off his guard, blinked at the enormity of the prospect; but, remembering his dignity as a business man, he shook his head sadly and replied: "Wheat! Wheat, eh? A lumber and shipping man monkeying with wheat?
"I have noticed this, that, he is very well dressed for a boy of his small salary, and seems always to have money to spend." "That will count for something. Still he might have some outide means. Have you noticed anything else?" Jasper hesitated. "I noticed one evening when he left the store that he had a sizable parcel under his arm."
"I thought not. You see, we of to-day are rather ahead of Demosthenes and Cicero, and those old fellows. I suppose Rome was quite a sizable place." "I have always heard so," answered Walter. "I'll bet a quarter it wasn't as big or as smart a place as Chicago. I don't believe they had any such hotel there as the Palmer House, or any dry-good store as big as Marshall Field's."
Westbury kept cows, in those days, and made an almost daily trip with milk to the nearest sizable town, by virtue of which he became the natural purchasing agent of the thousand and one things we needed in that day of our beginning, and the most reliable and efficient I have ever known.
A sizable town had sprung up around the old trading post. "They come like bees when the rush starts," Bill remarked. Leaving Fort George behind, they bore across country toward Pine River. Here and there certain landmarks, graven deep in Hazel's recollection, uprose to claim her attention. And one evening at sunset they rode up to the little cabin, all forlorn in its clearing.
