"We might cut into the next tennis set," she said doubtfully. "You could hardly play in those shoes," said Harry Luttrell. Joan contemplated a heel of formidable height. Oh, where were the sandals of the higher Life? "No, I suppose not. Of course, there's a but it wouldn't probably interest you." "Wouldn't it?" cried Harry Luttrell. "Well, it's a maze. Millie Splay is rather proud of it.
While the ship was at anchor a boat was lowered and I whiled away the time, nominally in fishing, but really in cruising about close to the forts and fishing for information rather than for fish by observing the different types of the guns employed and sketching their position and the radius of fire allowed to take them by the splay of their embrasures; also we took soundings where necessary and made sketch maps of possible landing places for attacking or other purposes.
"She hasn't come down yet," she said, and Millie Splay seized upon the words. "No, she never comes down for breakfast never has all this week." "Yes, that's true," returned Dennis Brown with an attempt at cheerfulness. "Besides what makes the idea impossible," said Sir Chichester, "is the publication this morning. There wouldn't have been time.... It's clearly an atrocious piece of malice."
Larcom, the grave butler of Brandon, wearing outside his portly person a black garment then known as a 'zephyr, a white choker, and black trousers, and well polished, but rather splay shoes, and, on the whole, his fat and serious aspect considered, being capable of being mistaken for a church dignitary, or at least for an eminent undertaker, entered the room with a solemn and gentlemanlike reverence.
There is no triforium; but a passage, at a slightly lower level than in Archbishop Roger's bays, runs below the great clearstorey windows, which were once, no doubt, gorgeous with stained glass. Their arches are moulded, but the splay is left plain.
Is there a girl anywhere who can match her?" Martin looked down over the balustrade at Joan in the hall below. "No," he said slowly. "Not one whom I have ever seen." The little note of melancholy in his voice moved Millie Splay. She was all kindness in that moment of her triumph. She turned to Martin Hillyard in commiseration. "Oh, don't tell me that you are in love with her too!
Another, with a splay smile that was terrible as a wound, wiped in and out among the spokes of the banisters, her face as without muscle as a squeezed orange, and smiling without knowing that it smiled. Sitting there with her bundle closer and closer to her heart, Lilly closed her eyes to that smile.
Grant our dawb'd faces wou'd keep their colour: Suppose it wou'd not wash off, nor our cloaths stick to the ink, how can we imitate their black swollen lips? the short curl of their hair? the seams on their foreheads? their circular way of treading? their splay feet? or the mode of their beards? an artificial colour rather stains than alters the body; but, if you'll be rul'd by a madman, let's cover our heads, and jump into the sea?"
A Gossaert portrait catches the eye, the head and bust of a man; then you find yourself staring in wonderment at the Peter Breughels and Jerome Bosches with their malodorous fantastic versions of temptations of innumerable St. Anthonys. The air is thick with monsters, fish-headed and splay of foot. St.
Two years ago, Martin Hillyard reflected, Harold Jupp or Dennis would have chaffed her roundly about her conquest, and she would have retorted with good humour. Now, no one spoke, but a little sigh, a little movement of uneasiness came from Millie Splay. Joan did not take her eyes from Hillyard's face. But the blood mounted slowly over her throat and cheeks.
