At the same time I presented my case filled with choice Cabañas, smuggled. My limited means oblige me to employ these judicious economies. Mr. Mellasys took a cigar, lighted, whiffed, looked at me, whiffed again, "Sir," says he, "dashed if that a'n't the best cigar I've smoked sence I quit Bayou La Farouche!"
The Vali was sitting in a large arm-chair in front of a very small desk, placed at the far end of a vacant-looking room. After the usual salaams, he motioned to a seat on the divan, and proceeded at once to examine our credentials while we sipped at our coffee, and whiffed the small cigarettes which were immediately served. This furnished the Vali an opportunity to regain his usual composure.
I have leaped on a great fallen log and sunk to the knees in touchwood; I have sought to stay myself, in falling, against what looked to be a solid trunk, and the whole thing has whiffed away at my touch like a sheet of paper.
The subconscious mind of the rough rider was preoccupied with a sense of a vague groping. The thought of violet perfume associated itself with something else in addition to the darkness of his uncle's living-room, but he did not find himself able to localize the nebulous memory. Where was it his nostrils had whiffed the scent more recently?
Frank met him as he got out of his car, looked up anxiously into his spectacled face, whiffed the strange-smelling satchel he carried, escorted him gravely up the steps. Steve Earle, the boy's father, the dog's master, shook hands with the man and led him into the house. Again the screen door banged in the dog's face.
In crossing the opening the old man's foot had turned on a stone; he had staggered, and placed his hand against one of the black boulders for support. And now, when the hound came to this spot he stopped; he lifted his head and whiffed the rock the man had touched with his hand. Next, he reared up on the boulder and looked at its top.
In the afternoon I managed to climb a little way up an iceberg, and made out that I was in a bay whose terminating headlands were invisible. I accordingly decided to make S.W. by W. to cross it, but, in doing so, I was hardly out of sight of land, when a northern storm overtook me toward midnight; before I could think, the little sail was all but whiffed away, and the kayak upset.
It turned out that he owned a share in the vessel and worked her from Midsummer to Michaelmas with a crew of two men and a boy. I was to be the boy. We baited our hooks and whiffed for mackerel as we tacked out of the Sound. The wind had fallen to a flat calm. After dinner Mr. Trapp looked up and said to Isaac: "Got a life-belt on board?" "What in thunder do 'ee want it for?" asked Isaac.
