They were often decorated gruesomely with skull and crossbones, scythes, coffins, and hour-glasses, all-seeing eyes with rakish squints, bow-legged skeletons, and miserable little rosetted winding-sheets. A writer in the New England Courant of November 12, 1722, says: Of all the different species of poetry now in use I find the Funeral Elegy to be most universally admired and used in New England.
"Be jing! I've been on the job here at manny a deal of a morn," confided Officer Rellihan to Calvin Dow, "but here's the first natural straight flush r'yal, dealt without a draw." He tagged the Corson party with estimating squints, beginning with the Governor. "Ace, king, queen, John-jack, and the ten-spot! They've caught the office, this time, with a two-spot high!" Mac Tavish played it pat!
Malt for Richie and Stephen, tell mother. Where is she? Bathing Crissie, sir. Papa's little bedpal. Lump of love. No, uncle Richie... Call me Richie. Damn your lithia water. It lowers. Whusky! Uncle Richie, really... Sit down or by the law Harry I'll knock you down. Walter squints vainly for a chair. He has nothing to sit down on, sir. He has nowhere to put it, you mug.
There's somethin' about him makes you think the best ain't near as good as he wants. I tells him to come along with me, 'n' when we gets up to the showroom he sticks a card at Brown. "'Yes, indeed Mr. Van Voast! says Brown, when he squints at the card. 'You're almost the only member of your family I have been unable to serve. I believe I have read that you are devoted to the motor game.
He cannot conceal his vinous longing, and squints darkly at the assembly. On a week day at this hour he would already have begun to slake his thirst. He is parched, he burns, he drags himself from group to group. The wait is longer than he can stand. Suddenly every one looks out to the street through the still open door.
The ear normally hangs down behind; the goat turns sideways to her enemy by a little knowing cock of the head flicks one ear over one eye, and squints from behind it, for half a minute tosses her head back, skips a pace or two further off, and repeats the manoeuvre. The cook is very fat, and cannot run after that goat much. "Pernambuco, Aug. 1.
I went to the Cirque with my cousin, and we dined in the Palais Royal. We enjoyed ourselves so much! You know my cousin?" "Ah! yes the little fellow with the curly hair and the whiskers, who waits for you at the corner when we leave the workshop." "The same Achille." "Your Achille is nice-looking," said Mademoiselle Lolotte, with a somewhat critical air. "It is a pity he squints."
At the S. door note stoup, and within the church observe the 15th cent. screen; the squints, high up in the chancel pillars; the E.E. sedilia on the S.; and the chapel on the N. side of the sanctuary. The chapel is the resting-place of Elizabeth, successively wife of Sir Walter Rodney and of Sir John Chaworth, who died 1536. Badgworth, 3 m.
Not that I'm any afraid of girls; but I wa'n't feelin' so much to home there as I do in some places, and I didn't want to make any break. But she wouldn't let it go at that. "O-o-o-o!" says she again, and as I squints up at her I sees the reg-lar cut-up looks just bubblin' out. "G'wan!" says I. "I ain't no curiosity." "Oh, it is Torchy then, isn't it?" says she.
Hereupon my companion squints through the glass and nods: "Right-oh, George!" says he, then, while George the silent stacks the tested rifle with many others, he turns to me and nods, "Got 'im that time, sir pity it weren't a bloomin' Hun!"
