Years afterward on an Atlantic steamer she met a sandy-haired, stoutish American, who introduced himself with the apology, "You're so like a girl I knew once out West at some lake in Wisconsin " "And you are Harrison Plummer," she said promptly. "I shouldn't have known you," she added maliciously, surveying the work of time. She felt that her plebeian hands were revenged: he was quite ordinary.
Also there was Korwsky, and two other men; Moneta, a young Mexican cigarmaker out of work, and a man named Hamby, who had turned up on the previous evening, introducing himself as a pacifist who had been arrested and beaten up during the war. Somehow he did not conform to my idea of a pacifist, being a solid and rather stoutish fellow, with nothing of the idealist about him.
First, there was an elderly man, florid, stoutish, and fussy the Paterfamilias of Punch, with a dash of the heavy father of comedy. He was evidently in a terrible strait, and halting between two opinions, namely, whether he should stay and watch over his family, or go away and see after his luggage.
They held that, though you had loved in vain, it was no such mighty matter to boast of; but they were poor in argument, and their only really strong card was that Mr. Sandys was stoutish himself. Their organs in the press said that he was a man of true genius, and slightly inclined to embonpoint.
The Labor Commissioner mopped his brow with a snowy handkerchief, which released into the office the scent of cologne. He was a stoutish man, and the morning, for autumn, was astonishingly warm. "Well, it's ill-timed, V.V.," said he, without ill-humor. "And kind of extreme. I told you the other day how I felt about it." The face of the medico fell.
The Colonel and his wife were on their feet in a moment, and the next moment were joyfully wringing the hands of a stoutish, discouraged-looking man whose general aspect suggested that he was fifty years old, but whose hair swore to a hundred. "Well, well, well, Washington, my boy, it is good to look at you again. Sit down, sit down, and make yourself at home.
'Tu-dieu, yes, says the Dauphin; 'but it is a stoutish back, Richard. It is a back which ranks high. Kings clap it familiarly. Conrad of Montferrat calls it a cousin's back. The Emperor has embraced it at an Easter fair. 'I would as soon break Conrad's back as his, Dauphin, believe me, Richard replied; 'but Conrad has said nothing. And there is another reason.
That stoutish chap seemed to smell a rat, and that smiling door-knocker fellow was all on the spy; but I don't think he heared anything, and I'm sure he didn't see. Now, then, can you tell me whether they're coming back?" Don shook his head, and they remained thinking and watching for nearly an hour before Jem declared that they must risk it.
He was a stoutish, clean-shaven man, of middle height, and of a cheerful, round countenance. "You'd better speak to the clerk." In the little outer office the visitor was met by a sharp lad with inky fingers, who presented him with a pen and a printed slip.
To go into Germany as an anti-British Afrikander was a stoutish adventure, but to lounge about at home talking rot was a very different-sized job. My stomach rose at the thought of it, and I had pretty well decided to wire to Bullivant and cry off. There are some things that no one has a right to ask of any white man. When I got to Isham and found poor old Blaikie I didn't feel happier.
