So they sat in a diffident silence that stretched itself to greater awkwardness, until at last Dorothy rose abruptly to her feet and Thornton feared that she meant to take flight. "'Pears like ter me," she asserted, suddenly, "hit's nigh suffocatin' hot in hyar." "I war jest a-studyin' erbout thet myself," affirmed Maggard whose quickness of uptake was more eager than truthful.
I followed his example, setting a course sou'-sou'-west. "No doubt you were surprised at the way I was talking." "Not a bit." "What? Did nothing strike you as odd in the tone of my remarks?" "It was just the sort of stuff I should have expected a treacherous, sneaking hound like you to say." "My dear chap," I protested, "this is not your usual form. A bit slow in the uptake, surely?
Fisher now and then, and if any of the folks in Shipmont wondered about them, the fact that the children were in the care and keeping of responsible adults and were oh-so-quick on the uptake stopped anybody who might have made a fast call to the truant officer. Then in the spring of James Holden's twelfth year and the sixth of his freedom, he said to Tim Fisher.
I knew that the gentility of the knock had taken both her and her mother aback. "Hoots, Johnny," said Leeby, "what haver's this? Come awa in." Johnny seemed annoyed. "Is this whaur Mistress McQumpha lives?" he repeated. "Say 'at it is," cried Jess, who was quicker in the uptake than her daughter.
It seemed rather stuffy in the hut last night I found it difficult to sleep, and noticed a good many others in like case. I found the temperature was only 50°, but that the small uptake on the stove pipe was closed. I think it would be good to have a renewal of air at bed time, but don't quite know how to manage this. It was calm all night and when I left the hut at 8.30.
M'Iver was just, perhaps, carrying his humour at my cost a little too far for my temper, which was never readily stirred, but flamed fast enough when set properly alowe, and Betty here too your true woman wit saw it sooner than he did himself, quick enough in the uptake though he was.
Quick though the French are at the uptake, it took the good Commandant just a little while to settle down to the odd position. This was not the size and shape and manner of man with whom he was used to take his meals. As an officer one feels one's responsibilities on these public occasions, and I felt I ought to intervene and to do something to rearrange the general position.
A gude tale's no the waur o' being twice tauld, I trow; and a body has aye the better chance to understand it. Every body's no sae gleg at the uptake as ye are yoursell, mither." "O, my dear Cuddie, this is the sairest distress of a'," said the anxious mother "O, how aften have I shown ye the difference between a pure evangelical doctrine, and ane that's corrupt wi' human inventions?
How many went down?" "Eighty-six. A cageful of men and lads just them from the shaft-bottom got up immediately after the explosion. Since then, not a sound from anyone! The uptake shaft is chock-full of damp. Mitchell, in the fan-room, had to run for it at first, it was coming up so fast." "Good God!" said George, under his breath; and the two men eyed each other painfully.
Dominie, you're dull in the uptake compared to Elspeth. I hadna telled her half the story afore she jaloused the rest. However, to begin again; there's great feasting and rejoicings gaen on at the Spittal the now, and also a banquet, which the post says is twa dinners in one.
