Frog drew himself up proudly and leaned against a stump, with his feet crossed, exactly as if he was having his picture taken. Bobby Bobolink looked at him. And all at once he burst out laughing. Now it was Mr. Frog's turn to feel uncomfortable. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Isn't my tie straight?" "Oh, I dare say your tie's correct," Bobby Bobolink told him.
"Yes," said she, "you must have remonstrated very feelingly. Your tie's all crooked, Olaf dear, and your hair's all rumpled, and there's dust all over your coat. You would disgrace a rag-bag. Oh, I'm glad you reasoned that way! It wasn't dignified, but it was dear of you, Olaf. Pevensey's a beast." He caught his breath at this.
"Brothers, Leander!" exclaimed Matilda, and walked farther apart from him. "Yes," he said. "After all, what tie's closer than a brother? A uncle's all very well, and similarly a cousin; but they can't feel like a brother does, for brothers they are not." "I should have thought there were ties still closer," said Matilda; "you seemed to think so too, once." "Oh, ah! that!" he said.
There was a dinner at Sea Gull Manor that night in honour of the Rolls's guests, and just as Eileen had finished dressing, her brother Raygan knocked at her door. "Want me to say your tie's all right?" she chirped. "No, my child, I do not," said Rags. "I wouldn't trust your taste round the corner with a tie. You're looking rather pleased with yourself what?"
"You needn't say another word, mar," said Miss Tipping, warningly. "I'm sure," said the elder lady, bridling. "Perhaps your uncle would like to try and reason with you." Mr. Porson smiled in a sickly fashion, and cleared his throat. "You see, my dear " he began. "Your tie's all shifted to one side," said his niece, sternly, "and the stud's out of your buttonhole.
But she wouldn't even moisten her parched lips with a drop of cold water. And so she died; exhorting my father with her last breath to beware of Mrs. "And did he?" "No, I am still stepmotherless. Your white tie's gone wrong. It's all on one side." "It generally is," said Raphael, fumbling perfunctorily at the little bow. "Let me put it straight. There! And now you know all about me.
Richard continued to watch, and saw that immediately Ted looked his way and also smiled. He wanted so much to know what this meant, that, as soon as dinner was over and they were all leaving the room, he fell in with the boy and, putting his hand through Ted's arm, whispered with artful intent: "Was my tie under my left ear?" Ted stared up at him. "Your tie's all right, Mr. Kendrick."
"Well, I must say you ran it pretty fine, Maurice," she remarked accusatively. "And, my! what a fright you look! Why, you haven't shaved this morning; and your tie's all crooked!" I put my hand up to my chin. "I was only just awake when Anne rang me up," I explained apologetically. "It's exactly fifteen and a half minutes since I got out of bed; and I ran the whole way!"
Here, I'll button it for you." Behind Fleetwood's back, when collar and tie were in place, Kent grinned and lowered an eyelid at Jim, who put his head in from the saloon to see how far the sobering had progressed. "You look fine!" he encouraged heartily. "That green-and-blue tie's just what you need to set you off. And the collar sure is shiny and nice your girl will be plumb dazzled.
