You don't allow yourself any relaxation." "Oh, yes I do. Only my idea of relaxation doesn't happen to coincide with the twins. Dancing in this sort of weather with your collar slumping and the perspiration rolling in tidal waves down your manly brow doesn't strike me as being a particularly desirable diversion." "H-mp!" sniffed Charley.
We'd gone down so I could be with her. "'Elwin is the name I have chosen for my son, says she to Angus the third day. "'Not so, says Angus, slumping down his one eyebrow clear across in a firm manner. 'You're too late. My son is already named. I named him Angus the night before he was born.
The chickens seemed depressed, but the irrepressible bluejay screamed amid it all, with the same insolent spirit, his plumage untarnished by the wet. The barnyard showed a horrible mixture of mud and mire, through which Howard caught glimpses of the men, slumping to and fro without more additional protection than a ragged coat and a shapeless felt hat.
It is not neighborly and is seldom seen, as it lives only in the thickest reeds or herbage of marshy places, where it can run over the softest mud, or even floating plants, by means of its long spreading toes, which keep it from slumping in. "To-morrow, when the tide begins to come in, we are going to fish for bluefish!" interrupted Nat joyfully.
"You make me think of a rabbit when you sniffle like that. Can't you cry without wiggling your nose?" Mrs. Toomey's quavering voice rose to the upper register: "Do you suppose I care how I look when I feel like this?" "How do you think I feel," ferociously, "with my stomach slumping in so I can hardly straighten up?"
He sank down on a truck that stood on the station platform, his shoulders slumping, his whole attitude as of one who was fatally stricken. It came over Gardley how suddenly old he looked, and haggard and gray! What a thing for the selfish child to have done to her father! Poor, silly child, whose fate with Forsythe would in all probability be anything but enviable!
He sat slumping in his seat, watching the road ahead of him with intense abstraction, looking more gloomy and grizzled than usual. "Enid is a vegetarian, you know," he remarked unexpectedly. Claude smiled. "That could hardly make any difference to me, Mr. Royce." The other nodded slightly. "I know. At your age you think it doesn't. Such things do make a difference, however."
To have lain there, hungry, but indifferent to anything but sleep, would have been the most heavenly thing she could conceive. She was literally falling up the hill, with all her machinery slumping towards inertia, when finally Pratt, on his distant hill, sent the signal for Glen to halt. "All right, Beth rest!" he called from the end of the chain, and she sank at once in her tracks.
Then there was a sensation of intolerable brightness all around. But it was not actual light. It was a sensation inside one's brain. Coburn felt himself falling. He knew, somehow, that the others were falling too. He saw everyone in the room in the act of slumping limply to the floor all but the Greek major. And Coburn felt a bitter, despairing fury as consciousness left him.
The long lines of tubs were astir again with the fury of thrashing arms, of craggy profiles, of marionettes with bent backs and slumping shoulders that twisted and jerked violently as though on hinges. Conversations went on from one end to the other in loud voices. Laughter and coarse remarks crackled through the ceaseless gurgling of the water.
