"If it is the fashion!" murmured the young girl, in a pleased tone, as she spread out horizontally her vermillion lips, which might have extended from ear to ear, not unlike if we can credit that slanderer, Bussy-Rabutin-the amorous smile of Mademoiselle de la Valliere. "Why did you not let me put on my gold necklace? "That would have given my portrait a smarter look.
"I see only nine now," George said pointedly. Edgar looked back into the hollow. "There are three of the brutes slipping away upstream as fast as they can go! You're smarter at the thing than I am hadn't you better go after them?" "I expect I'll be needed to keep this bunch together," George rejoined.
I do much trot-racing myself" mentioning his name "and you go much faster my car, Sar." I trusted nobody in those days, and thought a good deal of myself accordingly. I hadn't found out that it takes a much smarter man to know how to trust a few. "Thank you," I said, "I think I'll keep my own, the pony's accustomed to it."
He doesn't seem to care. He is so occupied today fighting, just as he did in the days of the great Napoleon, that no one cares a rap how he looks and surely he does not. You might think he would be a bit self-conscious regarding his appearance when he comes in contact with his smarter looking Ally. Not a bit of it. The poilu just admires Tommy and is proud of him.
"Leave them be," said Mr. Crabbe, "leave them be." And he winked first at Mr. Barly, and then at Mr. Frye. "Don't go spoiling things," he said. Mr. Frye allowed his mouth to droop in a thin smile. "Young people are slow to-day," he remarked. "They act like they had something on their minds. Green fruit . . . slow to ripe. In my time we went at it smarter." And he looked thoughtfully at Anna Barly.
Ernest and I knew a beautiful, honest, intelligent girl when we had the good fortune to meet her, and had no fears that she could not hold her own in good sets, let alone in the smarter ones of colonial or any other fashionable society, where the majority were animated by nothing higher than an insane and inane pursuit of something to kill time.
Victor's attention was for the moment upon a rough-hewn chest which was standing on the floor at the big man's feet. "An' why didn't she come right along with you?" "Mebbe cos she's smarter nor any o' us; mebbe cos I jest didn't want her to. There's somethin' 'tween you an' me, Victor, that needs some parley." The big man spoke quite calmly, but his very calmness was portentous.
He wondered what part, if any, his son had played in bringing about this sensational denouement to a match which had been so distasteful to him, and it gratified his paternal vanity to think that Jefferson after all might be smarter than he had given him credit for. At this juncture Mr. Bagley entered the room.
I should never have thought of it myself not that Jill is any smarter than I am, either, but girls are such creatures for planning up mischief and leading other folks into it and then laying the blame on them when things go wrong. How could I tell Dick would act so like a mule? I thought grown-up folks had more sense. Aunt Tommy was down on me for weeks, while she thought Jill a regular heroine.
The horses, of course, were spare ones, and not wanted again for a bit. Next morning it was 'sharp's the word', and no mistake. I felt a deal smarter on it than yesterday. When you've fairly started for the road half the journey's done.
