Jerry, looking over his shoulder, when he had finished, read the following, adorned with many blots and smudges: "P.S. Plenty mor to say but no rume. cant put the puding to-day." One of Bobbie's and Jerry's greatest treats was to have tea at the cottage on the edge of the park, where old Mrs. Funnel presided over a table covered with cakes and home-made delicacies.
As we sat together I said, "I wrote a letter to my mother, Fred. Did you write to Mrs. Johnson?" Fred nodded, and pulled a scrap of dirty paper from his pocket, saying, "That's the letter; but I made a tidy copy of it afterwards." I have said that Fred was below me in class, though he is older; and he was very bad at spelling. Otherwise the letter did very well, except for smudges.
Plummer came to look. "What's this?" he said. "Was this what you were going to tell us about?" Hewitt did not reply for a few moments, but continued his examination. Then he rose and turned to Plummer. "You've still got that piece of paper in your pocket, I suppose," he said, "with the little red smudges of colour put there by the police surgeon?"
Then suddenly he got up again, and strode to one of the westward-looking windows. The light was almost wholly gone, now. The man's figure, big-shouldered, compact, well-knit, appeared only as a dim silhouette against the faded blur in the west; a blur smoky and streaked with dull smudges as of old, dried blood. Far below, stretching away, away, shimmered the city's million inconsequential lights.
The panelling of carved and polished sandal-wood was blotched with foul smudges and chipped with bullet-marks fired in some drunken revelry. Rich velvets and laces were heaped upon the brocaded settees, while metal-work and pictures of great price filled every niche and corner, for anything which caught the pirate's fancy in the sack of a hundred vessels was thrown haphazard into his chamber.
Then as they still hesitated he pointed to his own gun, which one of them fired and Hannington fell dead. His last words to his friends scribbled by the light of some camp-fire were "If this is the last chapter of my earthly history, then the next will be the first page of the heavenly no blots and smudges, no incoherence, but sweet converse in the presence of the Lamb!"
The room was misty with the microscopic dust from the creatures’ wings; on her palms and fingers were black stains and stains of livid orange; and across wall and ceiling streaks and smudges of rusty colour. She was still trembling when she washed the smears from her hands. Her fingers were still unsteady as she smoothed out each tiny sheet of tissue paper and laid it on her night table.
There was good, brave blood in her, it is true; but good, brave blood isn't much to fall back upon if you happen to be a girl without escort, carrying a hand-bag containing twenty-odd pounds in money, several bits of valuable jewellery your whole earthly possessions, in fact and have lost your way on Hampstead Heath at half-past eight o'clock at night, with a spring fog shutting you in like a wall and shutting out everything else but a "mackerel" collection of clouds that looked like grey smudges on the greasy-silver of a twilit sky.
One almost forgets the comical little forlorn figure who gives such point to all the angry turbulence of nature in the impression produced by the mise en scène itself an impression so happily, so vividly suggested by a few rapid, instructive pencil strokes and thumb smudges that it haunts the memory like a dream.
At your cries the two women at once jerked on the cord, and the monkey hastened back to them through the partly raised window, leaving no trace of his presence except the black smudges of which I have spoken. "I have no doubt that Jane Ford followed me back to my hotel after one of my early visits to your apartment, and thus learned my name and address.
