I felt pleased, for Mr.
He started back almost instantly. The occupant was snoring with extreme heartiness. A glance revealed a light in the transom of room 32. As he looked, however, it disappeared. Abashed, he turned and went swiftly away. She was going to bed. He felt like a snooping, despicable "peeping Tom" caught in the act. He had been in his room for twenty minutes before he heard the tapping on his door.
You stay here, Mary, till I can attend to him myself. Those fellows ought to have that engine fixed by this time. Mark and I better go up on deck awhile." "But, Joe, do you think they have caught on to us?" she asked anxiously. "No, I don't; this guy wouldn't be snooping about alone if they had. He ain't no fly cop, and just happened to be loafin' here that's my guess.
And they expect us to do a job of work such as not even Thoth could dream up! They won't take honest work. No, they have to come snooping and conjuring and interfering. Wheels on rollers! Tools of steel and the gods know what instead of honest stone. Magic to lift things instead of honest ropes that shrink and wood that swells.
After I watched Ántonia and her mother go over the hill on their miserable horse, carrying our iron pot with them, I turned to grandmother, who had taken up her darning, and said I hoped that snooping old woman would n’t come to see us any more. Grandmother chuckled and drove her bright needle across a hole in Otto’s sock. “She’s not old, Jim, though I expect she seems old to you.
"Did you ever see him?" asked Scorch. "I I don't know that I have," said Nancy, slowly. "He ain't been snooping around that school?" "Why, I haven't noticed anybody like that." "A big man all in gray. He's some nobby dresser! I thought he was the President or Secretary of State at least when he came into the office and asked for Old Gordon. I takes him in at once.
"You be off," she commanded harshly. "None of your snooping around here." Josiah felt the numbness of paralysis creeping over him. He moistened his lips and tried to say something, but found himself bereft of speech. "You be off, I say," she rasped in her high-keyed voice, "or I'll put the constable after you." Josiah turned obediently. He heard the door slam as he went down the walk.
No, I must work up to it by degrees, buying suit after suit of clothes, in shops wide apart, and getting a little finer article with each change, until I should finally reach silk and velvet, and be ready for my project. So I started. But the scheme fell through like scat! The first corner I turned, I came plump upon one of our slaves, snooping around with a watchman.
In fact, to tell the truth, all the boys felt that they were groping in the gloom, and even their best guesses had only a slender foundation. "We've enlisted in the war, though," said Lil Artha, grimly, "and we won't be kept back by any little thing. If that chap comes snooping around any more he stands a mighty good chance of getting hurt, that's all I'm going to say about it."
And Old Hero reckoned that as the spring came on and he grew spryer, he'd have to get out and do a little snooping around himself. "For all anybody knows," he said, pointing to a hillside across the creek bottom, "the moss under the snow there may be plumb rooted in nugget gold."
