He has known, too, of a small, slim-built Romany thrashing a strong, six-feet-high constable, for unwarrantable interference with the former’s mother in a public bar. The Romany race is fast dying out from our midst; but it is dying what the sportsman would call “game.”
"They find me fault with her where I default ne'er find, * Save haply that a speck in either eye may show: But if her eyes have fault, of fault her form hath none, * Slim-built above the waist and heavily made below." And this is also told of Quoth the Cufite, "I see thou wouldst keep the whole of the stock-in-trade to thyself; give me my share of it."
"That remains to be seen, Mr. Vibart," said he, and speaking, turned upon his heel. "One moment," said I, "was not your cousin, Sir Jasper, of the middle height, slim-built and fair-haired, with a habit of plucking at his lips when at all nervous or excited?" "Exactly; you know him, sir?" "No," I answered, "but I have seen him, very lately, and I say again to stop this duel is an impossibility."
Riding a quick, nervous little bay troop horse, a slim-built officer, with boyish face, laughing blue eyes, and sunny hair, comes loping up the long prairie wave; he shouts cheery greeting to one or two brother subalterns who are plodding along beside their men, and exchanges some merry chaff with Lieutenant Ross, who is prone to growl at the luck which has kept him afoot and given to this favored youngster a "mount" and a temporary staff position.
"They said he was here he is!" Nothin' terrifyin' about Judson, either. He's a slim-built, youngish lookin' party, with an easy, quiet way of talkin', a friendly, confidin' smile; but about the keenest, steadiest pair of brown eyes I ever had turned loose on me. He shakes us cordial by the hand, thanks us for bein' prompt, and tows us into his private office.
This was quite true, the sudden brilliance of the end of Adrian's University career had dazzled the whole of his acquaintance. Barbara, impatient of retrospect, came to the all-important point. "How does Doria take it?" He turned on her and beamed. He was one of those dapper, slim-built men who can turn with quick grace. "She's as pleased as Punch.
It's our only chance now!" So back they go, and the next instant the vestibule door opens just a few inches, the congregation rises to a woman, and two slim-built fellows in full cavalry uniform, the long yellow plumes of their carried helmets floating behind them and their sabres clattering, hasten up to the head of the church just as the tower clock booms the first stroke of eight.
The Chief Imam is a slim-built, sharp-looking individual of about forty summers, with a face pale, refined, and intellectual; hands white and slender as a lady's, and a foot equally shapely and feminine.
That three nights ago you were in a gambling hell, Sagosto's, to be exact, one of the most disreputable in New York and you went there on the invitation of a stray acquaintance, a man named Perley shall I describe him for you? A short, slim-built man, black eyes, red hair, beard, and " "YOU know that!"
Once outside the steps, however, his deliberation was cast aside, and with rapid, nervous strides he hastened up the walk, out past the old ordnance storehouse and the lighted windows of the trader's establishment, turned sharply to the west, and, sure enough, coming toward him was a brisk, dapper, slim-built little soldier in his snugly-fitting undress uniform.
