I followed slowly, at a loss to know what to do, my eyes glued on the inviting squareness of their heavy packs. Simmons jogged behind, endeavouring to catch up. The moon laughed at all four of us. "Come on," I said. "They're Frenchmen. We'll follow them. They have two packs on their backs! Grub! And maybe we can bum them for a bit."
Flint, interrupting, "you are involving the reputation of one of the best citizens the State ever had your own father." Austen Vane leaned forward across the desk, and even Mr. It shot forth from Austen's eyes, proclaimed itself in the squareness of the face, and vibrated in every word he spoke. "Mr. Flint," he said, "I refrain from comment upon your methods of argument.
As my eyes fell upon it, I gave a gasp and a cry of amazement. The blind was down, and a strong light was burning in the room. The shadow of a man who was seated in a chair within was thrown in hard, black outline upon the luminous screen of the window. There was no mistaking the poise of the head, the squareness of the shoulders, the sharpness of the features.
We retreat a little way and find a sort of angle, an elevation in the sod, a suggested squareness amid the mass of irregularities around. Here, he tells me, if anywhere, the king's house stood. Three months of measurement and calculation have confirmed him in this conclusion. He requests me now to open the lantern, which I do, and the light streams out upon the wet sod.
"Culver, the Government agent and surveyor is a dark one," he mused aloud, half to himself. "If only Lawrence, his deputy, was in his shoes Your frame-up sounds pretty tight, Bostwick, but Culver may block us with his damnable squareness." "Every man has his price," said Bostwick, " big and little. Culver, you say, represents the Government? Where is he now?"
Let nothing start out or be too strong for its place. Squareness has grandeur; it gives firmness to the forms; a serpentine line in comparison appears feeble and tottering. One is apt to forget in these enlightened days how greatly the art of painting benefited by the establishment of public exhibitions.
It was not that she had not as handsome a silk dress and shawl, and as fine a pocket-handkerchief; but stiffness and squareness, and bolt-uprightness, enveloped her with as indefinite yet appreciable a presence as did grace her elegant neighbor; not the grace of God, however, that is quite another thing! "Where's Eva?" said Marie. "The child stopped on the stairs, to say something to Mammy."
One of the skippers insisted that she was the Hornet, from the unusual shortness of her lower masts, and the immense squareness of her yards. But the puzzle was, if it were the Hornet, why she did not shorten sail. Still this might be accounted for, by her either wishing to make out what we were before she engaged us, or she might be clearing for action.
It was attacked on all sides and for all contradictory reasons. No sooner had one rationalist demonstrated that it was too far to the east than another demonstrated with equal clearness that it was much too far to the west. No sooner had my indignation died down at its angular and aggressive squareness than I was called up again to notice and condemn its enervating and sensual roundness.
It was on the prior conviction, literally, that she had developed her admirable dress, instinctively felicitous, always either black or white and a matter of rather severe squareness and studied line. What had happened was that these arrangements, determined by certain considerations, lent themselves in effect much better to certain others.
