I was sizing up the good things, and I'd about decided on the front row of a musical comedy for mine, when what did I have to go and do but get soft on Tim here!" Tim blushes embarrassed and scrapes his hoof. "Enough to wreck most any career, wasn't it?" goes on Millie. "Think of it!
Lindsey, as spokesman, had to tell; he also heard my story of the yacht affair. He was an astute, elderly man, evidently quick at sizing things up, and I knew by the way he turned to Mr. Portlethorpe and by the glance he gave him, after hearing everything, that his conclusions were those of Mr. Lindsey and Mrs. Ralston. "I'm afraid there's something wrong, Portlethorpe," he remarked quietly.
"Go ahead," he said, sneering. "After you," Sam retorted with a smile. Joe approached him threateningly, and they stood one on each side of the door, sizing each other up with hard eyes. The smallest move from either side would have precipitated the conflict then. Bela slipped through the other door and came around the house. "Joe!" she called from in front.
"Why, you see, Max," began Steve in his usual impetuous way, "Toby here thought he saw a hungry cat sizing us up, being in want of a dinner; and so we got ready to give him a warm reception." "Y-y-you b-b-bet we did!" exclaimed the party in question, shaking his hatchet ferociously. The boy called Max turned and looked toward his cousin Owen, and there were signs of amusement in his manner.
No wonder Buckett's looked astonished at such language from a staff officer. Nor was that veteran questioner long in sizing up the cause. It added nothing to his respect for Willett, and not a little to his concern.
It is better to have this colour rather light, and renew the application; when this has sufficiently dried, go over the surface with a strong sizing of transparent glue, and then use two castors of copal varnish. Any good grained pine will bear a very close resemblance to walnut, and the surface will be nearly as hard.
Then, again, the insane episode of the eating-house the wild hastening of his program, the untimely change of appearance in that thronged room and his rudeness to the woman behind the counter. With anguish he remembered, or fancied he remembered, that she had looked at him resentfully seeming to say as she studied his face. "I'm sizing you up. Yes, I won't forget you you brute."
"How'd he get away?" asked Pete, as he saw Dave leading the riderless horse. "Was there any shootin'?" "No, nothing like that," Dave replied. "He jumped on the fast freight, and left his animal behind." "Huh! Well, maybe it's jest as well," the foreman said. "It's one skunk less in a country that's got more than its share. That's a good horse," he went on, sizing up Len's mount. "Yes," said Dave.
I told him I would take him off the wharf with the butt end of my boot, and he went away cursing. This vessel's been depreciated by the look of him." While the captain spoke, with his strange, humorous, arrogant abruptness, I observed Jim to be sizing him up, like a thing at once quaint and familiar, and with a scrutiny that was both curious and knowing.
One day you're awfully pleasant and the next you're in a mood. If I didn't understand your temperament so well Size people up in five minutes and then look wise whenever they're mentioned. I hate that sort of thing. THE YOUNG MAN: I don't boast of sizing you up. You're most mysterious, I'll admit. JULIE: There's only two mysterious people in history. THE YOUNG MAN: Who are they?
