'Names mean nothing pretty labels on empty vessels. By what right do these gentlemen invade the sanctity of Archibald's? He drew a chair near them and sat down sullenly, hanging his arm over the back. 'Do I see aright? he queried thickly, opening his eyes with difficulty, and revealing their lustreless shade. 'There are three of you? Humph! The one I know a clumsy dauber in a smudgy world.
Then if we were to dry a slice of apple, it would shrink down into a little leathery shaving; and this, when thrown into the fire, would burn with a smudgy kind of flame, give off very little heat, and soon smoulder away. A piece of raw potato of the same size would shrink even more, but would give a hotter and cleaner flame.
I'm sure it's rather smudgy about the twentieth page. I've a strong impression, too, that the second volume is lost has been packed in the bag of some departing guest; and yet everybody has the impression that somebody else has read to the end. You see therefore that the beautiful book plays a great part in our existence.
"I took the glass from my own pantry." "Are you sure that there was nothing in the glass when you took the salver to you master?" "Quite sure, sir. I'm very particular about having all my glass bright and clear it's the under butler's duty to see to that, and it's my duty to keep him up to his work. I should have seen in a moment if the glass had been dull and smudgy at the bottom."
French Eva had been afraid of the Chinaman; yet even Follet had pooh-poohed her fears; and her reputation was or had been well-nigh stainless on Naapu, which is, to say the least, a smudgy place. Still there was only one road for reason to take, and in spite of these obstacles it wearily and doggedly took it.
He had been there more than an hour, cautiously waiting his chance to hail the blacksmith, whose figure he could make out in the smoky interior of his shop, passing back and forth in front of a smudgy forge fire and rattling metal against metal in intermittent fits of professional activity. From where Mr. Trimm watched to where the horseshoe-pitching game went on was not more than sixty feet.
It gave little vision, except its own distorted reflections, but I could distinguish vaguely the outlines of the old mill with the shadowly raft in the high branches and the smudgy round spots that I knew to be the turkeys roosting. A fiercer current tore at the framework of the mill-house. The water rapped pitilessly against the pane.
"Why, if there isn't Mr. Clark!" she exclaimed, and the smith looked up, grinned, dropped his tongs, and came toward them, wiping his hand on his smudgy apron. "Hello, Joan!" he called out. "You're a bit bigger'n you used to be, when I made iron rings for you."
Half-naked, our scanty clothing burned and torn, hair singed, faces and parts of our bodies scorched and black with smoke tar paper makes black, smudgy smoke eyes red and burning, we stood there in the middle of the open spaces that had dealt us their blow. Our pazuntas hadn't worked, that was all. But at least we had checked the prairie fire.
From the face I could have sworn it was Joseph; but everything else about him rendered such an assumption impossible. Putting aside the time and the place, and forgetting his behaviour, his companions, and his instrument, what remained was sufficient to make the suggestion absurd. Joseph was always clean shaven; this youth had a smudgy moustache and a pair of incipient red whiskers.
