Bannon did not reply, and Peterson jerked his thumb toward the office. "Max's sister, there. I never saw any red hair before that was up to the mark. Ain't she a little uppish, though, don't you think?" "I guess not." "Red-haired girls generally is. They've got tempers, too, most of them. It's funny about her looks. She don't look any more like Max than anything." He grinned again.
And when he walks out of a morning, thus conditioned, his friends greet him with: "Hi! ho! Mister Toddleworth is uppish this morning." He has bid his charge good morning, and hurries back to his wonted haunts. There is a mysterious and melancholy interest in this man's history, which many have attempted but failed to fathom.
Lawrence had a pale, fragile, handsome wife, like himself, of another class than the honest soldiers and their buxom wives, and there was a little boy, Ronald, who looked like a young prince a beautiful boy, much noticed by all who knew him. The soldiers forgot their grudge against Lawrence for what they called his "uppish airs," and the soldiers' wives forewent their objections to Mrs.
If he knew about her birth! "I'll do anything. I'm not a lady," said she. "But I've got to have at least ten a week in cash." "No such place here." The manager was glad to find the fault of uppish ideas in this girl who was making it hard for him to be business-like. "No such place anywhere for a beginner." "I must have it," said the girl.
I introduced him to Peter and he promptly forgot Mary's existence. If Peter had had any vanity in him it would have been flattered by the frank interest and admiration in the boy's eyes. 'I'm tremendously glad to see you safe back, sir. I've always hoped I might have a chance of meeting you. We want you badly now on the front. Lensch is gettin' a bit uppish.
We sat with Mr. Stillman, and that had a very good effect, I can tell you. Especially when everybody saw us leave with him. Why, it brought Mrs. Towne to her feet." "Yes, and that's the humiliating part of it." "Well, Claire, when you've lived as long as I have you won't be so uppish about making compromises," flung back Mrs. Robson.
I'm quite in the notion of playing a practical joke on Atropos, and, perhaps, on Methuselah, while I'm about it. I'm not partial to Atropos at the best. She's such a reckless, uppish, heedless sort of tyrant. She rushes into huts, palaces, and even into the grand stand, and lays about her with her scissors, snipping off threads with the utmost abandon.
"By the way," he continued, coming back to his chair, "what do you know of this Professor Challenger?" "I never saw him till to-day." "Well, neither did I. It's funny we should both sail under sealed orders from a man we don't know. He seemed an uppish old bird. His brothers of science don't seem too fond of him, either. How came you to take an interest in the affair?"
He did not hold that man could ever fly as high, or as far, or as fast, or in any degree as easily, as a bird. All that he ventured to say was, that he might perhaps fly somewhat like one. As the plan of this philosopher is rather curious, we shall detail it. It is well known that balloons, filled with appropriate gas, will rise. Big balloons and little ones are equally uppish in their tendencies.
Alison and David again exchanged glances. Harry suddenly pushed back his chair. "You say your grace before you go," said Grannie, fixing him with her bright blue eyes. He blushed a little, muttered a word or two, and then left the room. "Harry is a good lad," said the old lady when he had gone, "but he is getting a bit uppish. He's a masterful sort. He aint like you, Dave."
