Well, well . . . there is no reason I should." Pavel Ivanitch's heart beat still more violently. . . . Involuntarily, with no desire to do so, he suddenly pictured to himself the half-darkness of the arbour. . . . A graceful fair girl with a little blue hat and a turn-up nose rose before his imagination.
'You're a cheat, Old Un, he was yelling out. 'You cheat all mankind: you've cheated me. Come, play; double or quits on the first turn-up. What's that? Nine of Spades! Seven of Spades! What! no trumps? I say, don't you mind the old craft under the line? That's her opposite you; so, play away.
But there need not be anything said beforehand. Neither need there be anything said at all about my going away, until I actually go. You will oblige me in this, Mr. Jan." "It's all the same to me," said accommodating Jan. "Whose will be this room, then?" "Yours, to do as you please with, of course, so long as I am away." "I'll have a turn-up bedstead put in it and sleep here, then," quoth Jan.
Pavel Ivanitch suddenly recalled that when he had been walking among the summer villas the day before, and the day before that, he had several times been met by a fair young lady with a light blue hat and a turn-up nose. The fair charmer had kept looking at him, and when he sat down on a seat she had sat down beside him. . . . "Can it be she?" Vyhodtsev wondered. "It can't be!
I saw one, in particular, defending himself against two of ours; and he would have made his escape from both, but an officer of our dragoons came down the hill, and took him in flank, at full speed, sending man and horse rolling, headlong, on the plain. I was highly interested, all this time, in observing the distinguished characters which this unlooked-for turn-up had assembled around us.
Uncle Mo always figured to himself sisters, and even sisters-in-law, as essentially short of middle life. You may remember also his peculiar view that married twins could not survive their husbands. "What sort of man did you make him out to be, Mo?" "A bad sort in a turn-up with no rules. Might be handy with a knife on occasion. Foxy sort of wiper!" "Not your sort, Mo?"
He twitched the stripe carelessly into sight. "C'manding orficer marked me down for this to-day," he continued, with elaborate indifference, "along of a Favourable Mention in the Cap'n's Guard Report. Nothin' much little turn-up with a 'ulking big Dutch bloke, 'oo turned out to be a spy."
Near as I can make out he's a narrow-chested, loose-jawed young hick of 19 or 20 and costumed a good deal like a village sport. You know slit coat pockets, a high turn-up to his trousers, bunion-toed shoes, and a necktie that must have been designed by a wall-paper artist who'd been shell-shocked. On his left arm he has a basket partly covered by a napkin.
The house need not be so expensive; one big dining-room, with turn-up tables like those ironing-board seat-tables, you know then they can dance there. Small reception room and office, hall, kitchen and laundry, and thirty bedrooms, forty by thirty, with an "ell" for the laundry, ought to do it, oughtn't it?" Mrs. Porne agreed to make plans, and did so most successfully, and Mr.
The husband was a waterman. He had "stove" his boat some years before, and was never able to get another; had two sons at sea; paid two shillings a week for the room, which they said was one shilling too dear, being only large enough to allow of two or three chairs, a table, and a turn-up bed.
