Stick to Facts, sir! The scene was a plain, bare, monotonous vault of a school-room, and the speaker's square forefinger emphasized his observations by underscoring every sentence with a line on the schoolmaster's sleeve.
"My sisters are going to get up a dance," said he; "and if you are fond of that kind of things perhaps we can amuse you." Now in those days I was very fond of dancing and very fond of young ladies too, and therefore glad enough to learn that Tom O'Conor had daughters as well as sons. On this account I was very particular in underscoring the word pumps.
'I shall wake up presently, she reflected, 'and find that I have been dreaming melodrama. But that was a fantastic underscoring of her experience. She knew very well she was making it. Mrs. Innes, again wrapped in astonished contemplation, did not reply. Then she jumped to her feet with a gesture that cast fortunes back into the lap of fate.
How could he reply to that look of cruel irony, to the grimace with which the noble lord was underscoring his words? . . . "When the war is ended, I will send you a gift from Berlin," he added in a patronizing tone. The old collector could say nothing to that, either.
Shall I get a foghorn and let you have it that way?" "Then, look here, Cotton. If you didn't send it, your underscoring of my name on the house list because I couldn't subscribe was the act of an arrant cad." Cotton winced at Gus's concise definition, but he said, "Oh, get out, you fool!"
Was there ever such a meeting of sin and purity, of love and hate, of God's best and Satan's worst? Surely there can be no following here! And, strange to say, the answer is both a "no," with a double underscoring of emphasis, and a "yes," that will come to have a like emphatic underlining. No, there can be no following. Here, He is the Lone Man who went before.
But the last ones deposited therein had not yet been lighted, or, more exactly, they had been lighted hastily and had not burned except around the edges. He lifted out the one on top and the one beneath it. They were two sheets of copy paper scribbled closely in pencil. The first was entitled, with heavy underscoring that signified capitals, "Souls in Bondage."
And just there is where we have all seemed to make a slip at times, and many of us are yet making it a bad slip. We think we can do more where we are through our service: then prayer to give power to service. No with the blackest underscoring of emphasis, let it be said NO. We can do no thing of real power until we have done the prayer thing. Here is a man by my side. I can talk to him.
I thought it had a pitiful look somehow, that underscoring of the adverb, and seemed almost an appeal for employment. The inscription on the card was in a woman's hand, and a very pretty hand elegant but not illegible, firm and yet feminine.
Long, light ringlets, pallid complexion, blue eyes. Delicate child, half unfolded. Gentle, but languid and despondent. Does not go much with the other girls, but reads a good deal, especially poetry, underscoring favorite passages. Writes a great many verses, very fast, not very correctly; full of the usual human sentiments, expressed in the accustomed phrases. Under-vitalized.
