He'd done his trick and there was an end of it. The next day he had William Henry Thomas busy re-rigging the Kawa. William Henry Thomas, by the way, insisted on living on board in happy but unholy wedlock, and Whinney, Swank and I felt that it was better so. Somehow we considered him the village scandal.
"We are met," he said I translate freely "we are met to witness the emulation of friends." Could anything be more delicate? Both boys are members of this island." The applause was enormous but Swank had the grace to rise and kiss his finger-tips toward the audience which immediately put him on a friendly footing. After a few more speeches by Baahaabaa the exhibits were unveiled.
Aye, he was a canny brute, was Captain Swope; he knew just how to play such a crowd as we were. And I think he thoroughly enjoyed such a cat-and-mouse game. There was valorous talk in the foc'sle, and half-veiled insolence on deck. These cringing stiffs began to swank and swagger.
She was a lovely little thing with a lovely name, Lupoba-Tilaana, "Mist-on-the-Mountain." "Swank," I said, "that's a ten-strike. The mountain is a little out of focus but the mist is immense!" He squirted me with yellow ochre. Whinney was in his element. Ornithology, botany, ethulology, he took them all on single-handed.
When you helped me yesterday, you too were clumsy. You can't put on a new frock, worse luck, the way I've done, to restore your self-respect. But I do wish you'd buy a new something a new race-horse or a new car I don't care what as long as it would make you swank. A little swanking would do you all the good in the world; it would keep Terry from knowing how much you care.
Innocently he falls asleep! I don't believe a word of it. I think it's just a case of literary men sticking together. Two days after the Grand Banquet described in the last chapter, Whinney, Swank and I awoke with a sigh of simultaneous satisfaction, completely rested and restored.
Luttrell walked across London, dwelling upon the qualities of individual men in the company which was his command how this man was quick, and that man stupid, and that other inclined to swank, and a fourth had a gift for reading maps, and a fifth would make a real marksman; and so he woke up to find himself before the bookstall in the station at Waterloo.
They were rather down on the Blackpool sister, Fay said, for extravagance and general swank." "What about the grandparents?" "In Guernsey? They're quite nice old people, I believe, but curiously of course I'm quoting Fay comatose and uninterested in things, 'behindhand with the world, she said. They thought Hugo very wonderful, and seemed rather afraid of him.
He was quartered in an old dark building where Nelson used to hang out in the days before Trafalgar. There was a sign on the door: DON'T KNOCK. COME IN He was a good sort, with not a sign about him of that swank which so many of the military caste seem to think it necessary to adopt.
Then: "You'd see what I'd do!" he said ominously. "Garn! Swank!" she repeated. "Now do it! Go on, do it!" "I'll let you off this time," he said judicially. "Garn! Softie. You can't do anything, you can't! You're a softie!" "I could cut your head off an' scalp you an' leave you hanging on a tree, I could," he said fiercely, "an' I will, too, if you go on calling me names." "Softie! Swank!
