"Wife's a tallish girl, fair, rather good-looking; looks standoffish though." "You you're sure they're married, Mr. Laing?" gasped Dora, and Charlie, in whom her manner had awakened a suspicion of the truth, also waited eagerly for the reply. "What, Miss Bellairs?" asked Laing in surprise. "Oh, I mean I mean you haven't made a mistake?"
'Not if the work be left unfinished. Did never the healer of sick pearls tell thee so? Comes another Sahib! Ah! This was a tallish, sallowish District Superintendent of Police belt, helmet, polished spurs and all strutting and twirling his dark moustache. 'What fools are these Police Sahibs! said Kim genially. E23 glanced up under his eyelids. 'It is well said, he muttered in a changed voice.
"I wished them good night, and one of them gruffly bade me good night too; but I could not make out who they were, though one did for a moment strike me to be Desborough, and both were tallish sort of men." "You're a lad of penetration, Bill; now saddle me Silvertail as fast as you can." "Saddle Silvertail! surely father, you are not going out yet: it's not day-light."
And the true reason for that why not be frank about it? the true reason is that I have modelled her on my first love. How we, a band of tallish school-boys, the chums of her two brothers, how we used to look up to that girl just out of the schoolroom herself, as the standard-bearer of a faith to which we all were born but which she alone knew how to hold aloft with an unflinching hope!
While they were thus employed, a tallish gentleman with a hook nose and black hair, dressed in a military surtout very short and tight in the sleeves, and which had once been frogged and braided all over, but was now sadly shorn of its garniture and quite threadbare dressed too in ancient grey pantaloons fitting tight to the leg, and a pair of pumps in the winter of their existence looked in at the door and smiled affably.
Therefore it was with a keenly observant eye that I, all unseen, watched the man with his electric torch and his map, and it did not escape my notice that the hand which held the map was short of the two middle fingers. But of the rest of him, except that he was a tallish, well-made man, dressed in as far as I could see things a gentlemanlike fashion in grey tweeds, I could see nothing.
The newcomers, disposing themselves comfortably upon various sacked commodities, proceeded to smoke and casually inspect the voluble stranger. He was a tallish, well-built man nearing middle-age, with a gray moustache, a thin beak of a nose, and a bleached-blue eyes. He was dressed in an old tweed suit, obviously of English cut, a pair of high-heeled, spurred riding-boots and a cowboy hat.
Mike remembered the cheque perfectly well, owing to the amount. It was the only three-figure cheque which had come across the counter during the day. It had been presented just before the cashier had gone out to lunch. He recollected the man who had presented it, a tallish man with a beard. He had noticed him particularly because of the contrast between his manner and that of the cashier.
I don't know what would put sponges into her head. But, of course, she had to say something. What was she like to look at?" "She had a dark blue dress," said Frank, "and was tallish." "Fuzzy fair hair?" said Lord Torrington. "I don't remember her hair." "Slim?" "I'd call Miss Rutherford fat," said Frank. "At least, she's decidedly stout." "Not her," said Lord Torrington.
Give me a hero, give me a plot, and there is my story!" When the horse-car stopped at the foot of Grove Street, Austin Buckingham and the prospective heroine of his story got out so nearly at the same time that when they reached the sidewalk they were side by side. Beneath the gas-light stood a tallish man who was looking up to read the name of the street upon the lamp.
