Harrington had no objection at all to Milly's going to London. "Indeed, Miss Lettice," she said, "I'm only too glad to think of your looking after her, for Milly's not got much sense, I'm afraid, although she's a woman grown." "I always thought her unusually clever and sensible," said Lettice, in some surprise. "Clever, miss, she always was, but sensible's a different affair.
"I never met Kâramanèh, but from your account, and from others, she was quite unusually " "She was very beautiful," I said, and stood up, for I was anxious to terminate that phase of the conversation.
Snecky Hobart's father's unusually long and impressive prayer was an official intimation that the deceased, in the opinion of the session, sorely needed everything of the kind he could get; and then the silent driblet of Auld Lichts in black stalked off in the direction of Tilliedrum.
Then, as the cloud was an unusually threatening one, they all gathered in the parlour. It was the ordinary parlour of country people who are self-respecting but neither well-to-do nor educated. There was a fancy organ, a flowered carpet; there were gaudy vases and solemn-looking enlarged crayon portraits.
It was early Wednesday evening of a week later that the monthly gold shipment came down from the Red Valley mines. The consignment was an unusually large one, and in view of the youth of the new operator the superintendent wired a request that Big Bill Smith, the driver of the mines express, remain at the station until the treasure was safely aboard train.
"I understand you do, and that you made an unusually fine speech on the subject the other night." "Thank you, sir." This was a good deal more than Bles had expected, and he was embarrassed. "Well, now, we think you're just the man to take the stump during September and October and convince the colored people of their real interests." "I doubt if I could, sir; I'm not a speaker.
Laughing allusions to the maid of honor and Ca'line Allison were bandied back and forth, and when the line grew unusually straggling, Kitty would bring them into step with her, "One, two, three throw!"
Here General Banks gave his worn and tired army a rest. The Twenty-fifth Connecticut took position about seven miles east of headquarters, at Barre's Landing. While we privates were enjoying a suspension of active operations, the officers were unusually busy, as their numbers were greatly reduced by resignation, sickness and death.
At home Jimmy's parents thought him quite a normal boy, with an unusually large fund of questions ever at the back of his nimble tongue. Breakfast went slowly for Jimmy that morning when once he had finished and sat waiting for his parents. Mr. Hill was scanning the back page of the paper in deep concentration. Again the big black letters stared out at Jimmy. "The war will be won in the air."
As a wall plant, where it often rises to 6 feet in height, this pretty and taking species is most often seen. The flowering Currants are of unusually free growth, and are not at all particular about soil, often thriving well in that of a very poor description. They are increased readily from cuttings and by layers.
