The air too smelt more freshly than down beside the marsh. And here a fresh alarm brought me to a standstill with a thumping heart. The Man of the Island FROM the side of the hill, which was here steep and stony, a spout of gravel was dislodged and fell rattling and bounding through the trees.
"His sugar wont never tell where it come from," remarked Earl, throwing the spout down. "Well, you shall see more o' me to- morrow. Good-bye, Dr. Quackenboss." "Do you contemplate the refining process?" said the doctor, as they moved off. "I have often contemplated the want of it," said Fleda; "but it is best not to try to do too much.
I suppose it was a kind of obstinate pride, the sort of pride that makes condemned people not scream or throw themselves about on the way to execution. But when Father and Di had gone, I cried oh, how I cried! There was a kind of wild pleasure in letting the sobs come, and feeling the hot tears spout out of my eyes.
"So they've all cleared out? the shows, I mean." "Every one exceptin' the Theayter." "Mortimer's?" Tilda limped to the open door. "But I don't see him, neither." "Mortimer's is up the spout. First of all, there was trouble with the lodgings; and on top of that, last Monday, Mr. Hucks put the bailiffs in.
"Oh, yes," vaguely. "Couldn't you interest anybody?" "How can you interest clods who have no imagination?" "What did they say about it?" "Scales told me to go out and hold my head under the spout and he'd pump on it. If ever I get a dollar ahead to pay my fine, I'm going to work that son-of-a-gun over." Mrs. Toomey sobered.
And then both went eagerly to take liberties with a neighbouring pump, from the spout of which hung an icicle like a stalactite, the droppings from which, at an earlier period, had formed a considerable stalagmite on the stones below.
It was a very good duck; as indeed it should have been, for it was fattened on Egyptian corn, hung the exact number of days, and cooked by Charley. It had a little spout of celery down which I could pour the abundant juice from its inside; and it was flanked right and left respectively by a piece of lemon liberally sprinkled with red pepper and sundry crisp slabs of fried hominy.
Hank, looking over the side, caught sight of the spout and, with a twist of the shoulder, walked aft to the first boat. "I'm going, too," Colin reminded him. The old whaler looked at him thoughtfully and disapprovingly. "Orders is orders," he said at last, "an' if the skipper said you could go, why, I reckon that ends it.
'tis a dismal thing," he began, and continued to spout his part with flashing eyes and considerable energy until he came to the word Blunderbuss, when, either from a mistaken notion as to when it was his time to go on, or nervous forgetfulness of the plan of the piece, the Little Bear sprang over the edge of the iceberg and alighted on the middle of the stage.
When he bent forward the water flowed from the spout over his shoulder into the cup he held in his hand, without his touching the tank. He is waiting for his customer to produce the pennies that apparently cannot be found." The street scenes in the Muski were so kaleidoscopic that it is impossible to give more than a suggestion of their character.
