Good night, gentlemen." With the agility of a monkey he bounded up his tree and disappeared. I stood at the foot of the tree and tried to argue further with him. "Remember Henry James," I shouted. "Think of Charles Henry George." It was in vain. Swank started after him, but as he reached the floor-level a large hola-nut struck him squarely on the top of the head and he fell back, stunned.
He was full of Swank and put on much Side and wore lily-colored Spats and was an awful Thing all around, from Pa's point of view. In a crowd of Bank Directors he would have been a cheap Swivel, but among the Women Folks he was a regular Bright Eyes. When you passed through the Archway of his Intellectual Domain you found yourself in the Next Block.
Swank only allowed himself the use of the three primary colors consequently his rendering of the opalescent beauty of this particular dawn was somewhat beyond me. Where I saw the glowing promise of color rather than color itself, Swank saw red. Where I felt the hushed presence of dawn "like a pilgrim clad," Swank vibrated to the harmonies of pure pigment, the full brass of a tonal orchestra.
"Let the kid 'ave a bit of pleasure lookin' forward to it, can't yer? It's little enough she 'as, anyway." William arose with dignity. "All right," he said. "Go'-bye." He strolled away down the street. "Softie!" It was a malicious sweet little voice. "Swank!" William flushed but forbore to turn round. That evening he met the little girl from next door in the road outside her house. "Hello, Joan!"
Whinney foolishly tried to compete with Swank by means of his camera foolishly, I say, though the result was one of the finest spectacles I have ever witnessed. For days Whinney had been stalking Swank, photographing everything he painted. In a darkroom of closely woven panjandrus leaves the films were developed and a proof rushed off to Baahaabaa long before the artist had finished his picture.
It was this predominant feature though I anticipate our actual decision which ultimately settled our choice of a name for the new archipelago, the Filbert Islands, now famous wherever the names of Whinney, Swank and Traprock are known. It was now about half-past two bells and an excellent time to make a landing, preparations for which were forthwith set in motion.
The receptionist said, "Good afternoon, Dr. Haer. Mr. Holland is expecting you." It came to Joe now Philip Holland, secretary to Harlow Mannerheim, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He had met the man a few months ago at Nadine's home in that swank section of Greater Washington once known as Baltimore. But he had no idea what Nadine had in mind bringing him here.
When he uttered his electric outburst of wrath against "this drilling, trampling foolery in the heart of Europe" he gave expression to the pent-up exasperation of years of smouldering revolt against swank and domineer, guff and bugaboo, calling itself blood and iron, and mailed fist, and God and conscience and anything else that sounded superb.
You wouldn't believe how full of the purest swank some of these pros. are. Tell you they've got an appointment as soon as look at you. Artful beggars!" Clarence nodded sympathetically. "This morning an Acrobat and Society Contortionist made such a fuss that in the end I had to take his card in to the private office. Mr. Quhayne was there talking to a gentleman whom I recognised as his brother, Mr.
The boy in the back of the box is his son, DeRhymer Drake." Derry! "Oh," she had a feeling that she was not being quite candid with her father "he's rather swank, isn't he, Daddy?" "Heavens, what slang! I don't see where you get it. He is rich, if that's what you mean, and it's a wonder he isn't spoiled to death.
