But he said nothing probably because he knew that words would be useless if Madame had made up her mind to remain, which she evidently had, so, after a brief pause, he said curtly to Hector: "Show M. le préfet in." He took up his favourite position, in his throne-shaped chair one leg bent, the other stretched out, displaying to advantage the shapely calf and well-shod foot.
Canning tapped a well-shod foot with his walking-stick, and wished for his love. The wish grew by what it fed on, and the banquet ran long. Half an hour passed before the door from Mrs. Heth's bedroom opened and Carlisle appeared. However, she looked worth waiting for.
Darnaway's well-shod hoofs sent the diamond drops flying, as, with obvious pleasure, he trampled through the shallows. Ben Gairn and Screel, boldly ridged against the southern horizon, stood out in dark amethyst against the glowing sky of even, but the young rider never so much as turned his head to look at them.
Don't turn the play-hour into work, Rob! You will study all the better for a little relaxation. You have proved the truth of that axiom, Oswald eh?" and he went laughing out of the room, while Oswald held the door open for his wife, smiling assent in lazy fashion. "Another girl!" he exclaimed, as he reseated himself on his chair, and looked with satisfaction at his well-shod feet.
Rosscott’s servants, the man invited him to walk up unannounced, since he himself was just "bringing in the tea." Jack went upstairs, and because the carpet was of thickly piled velvet and his boots were the boots of a well-shod gentleman, he made no noise whatever in the so doing.
Perhaps your father doesn't understand how to go about it." "No," said the other thoughtfully. "Father would try to bully and threaten. He tried to bully me!" Miss Pierce stamped a well-shod foot in memory of her manifold wrongs. Then feminine curiosity interposed a check. "Esmé! Are you engaged to Hal Surtaine?" "No, indeed!" The girl's laughter rang silvery and true. "Are you going to be?"
You are reminded of Dorsetshire, of Cheshire, of Normandy, of Rhineland. The people at the wayside stations are all well-dressed and well-shod. Achil Island seems to be at an immeasurable distance. The semi-savages who in Mayo demand autonomy have no supporters here. The Ulster folks eschew them and all their works, and would no more associate with them than with Hottentots.
At least," she added, "with part of them!" And Susan tapped the pavement with a well-shod boot and showed her white teeth. "If you weren't popular, you couldn't fill the seats I mean pews," she added, evasively. "But you must come and see me us, I should say." "Unfortunately, I am leaving to-morrow." "To-morrow!" repeated Susan, reflectively.
The young woman smiled encouragement, while the admiring shoe clerk tried on a smart brown suede pump. "I have been trying to get my arch up," continued Josie, sticking out her own well-shod little foot. Josie had very pretty feet and they were one weakness. She always wore a sensible shoe, but it must be of the best material and nobby cut. "What do you advise?" she asked the clerk.
Hoxer was conscious that a sentiment of gratulation, of sly triumph, pervaded his mental processes as he sped along barefoot, like some tramp or outcast, or other creature of a low station. He had laid his plans well in this curious, involuntary cerebration. Those big, bare footprints were ample disguise for a well-clad, well-groomed, well-shod middle-class man of a skilful and lucrative employ.
