Although she did not bring her sketchbook with her, as at the bullfight, she did not shrink from the branding of the cattle, which took place under her very eyes. Yet I had never seen her and Enriquez together; they had never, to my actual knowledge, even exchanged words. And now, although she was the guest of his uncle, his duties seemed to keep him in the field, and apart from her.
He visited us at Thorpe several times, and was unusually well and in good spirits, with sketchbook or folio always in hand.
Whenever opportunity offered, or whenever I could take French leave, I went off with sketchbook and pencil, and forgot for a time the horror of barrack-room life, with its unending flow of filthy language, and its barren desolation of yellow-washed walls and broken windows. And then we moved to Dublin. It may be very amusing to read about "Kipps" and those commonplace people whom Mr.
When the weather gets a little warmer I am going to bring my sketchbook out one day and get a few nice bits. That corner, for instance delightful, don't you think?"
I fancied I heard even a faint cry from Miss Mannersley; but the next moment, as the dust was slowly settling, we saw a sheet of paper in the air, that had been caught up in this brief cyclone, dropping, dipping from side to side on uncertain wings, until it slowly descended in the very middle of the arena.

White, silvery sand carpeted the ledge, and on the sand the shadow of a leaning rock fell blue. "Here" said Betty, and sank down. Her sketchbook scooped the sand with its cover. "Oh, I am hot!"

The girl had been trying to make a sketch of the view in a well-worn sketchbook which lay near.
From the start, Kenwick had succeeded in engaging May's attention, having resort to the same means which had already proved efficacious. At his suggestion they had each brought a sketchbook, and, during the trip of several hours, they jotted down desultory notes of the passing scene.
Trotter shrugged his shoulders. "Well, the Department has pretty good information that she has served England, France, Germany, Austria, Russia oh, these spies have no country! They serve the fattest international purse!" "Here is what we took from Miss Peddensen," said Kimball, gravely, laying down on the table the sketchbook and the "composition." Taking up the latter, Mr.
When the little village had been abundantly supplied with fish, the rest of the herrings were packed up and sent off by train to be sold elsewhere. It was a pretty animated scene, and I wished I had brought my sketchbook with me. I thought the arrival of the fishing boats would make a splendid subject for a picture.
