This butcher and tyrant, who sits on his throne only through the crime of those who held it before him every step in whose pedigree is stained by some horrible mark of murder, parricide, adultery this padded and whiskered pontiff who rules in his jack-boots over a system of spies and soldiers, of deceit, ignorance, dissoluteness, and brute force, such as surely the history of the world never told of before has a tender interest in the welfare of his spiritual children: in the Eastern Church ranks after Divinity, and is worshipped by millions of men.
When she got into her carriage again, and rode down Broadway, whiskered gentlemen on the pavement hoisted their beavers, and bent themselves as low as their corsets would possibly allow, and ladies nodded, and showed their pretty little teeth, and declared that Mrs. Simon was "a perfect little love." From all this show and luxury, she came down to an empty purse, and a widow's weeds.
A thousand stories clustered about him: of how he killed Watkins; of how Langley, the famous Federal marshal, trailed him for five years and was finally killed in the duel which left Allister with that scar; of how he broke jail at Garrisonville and again at St. Luke City. In the imagination of Andrew he had loomed like a giant, some seven-foot prodigy, whiskered, savage of eye, terrible of voice.
The two others were white Frenchmen, tall, bushy whiskered, sallow desperadoes, but still, wonderful to relate, with, if I may so speak, the manners of gentlemen. One of them squinted, and had a hair lip, which gave him a horrible expression.
Nor, lastly, was it of that genus which has vulgarity in its very title-page, and is here and there interspersed with devilish imps, or caricatured likenesses of the little proprietress, all done in most infinite humour, and marking the familiar friendship, of some half-dozen whiskered cubs, having what is technically called the run of the house.
The masters again; fifty years ago they were parsons almost without exception stern, godly, whiskered individuals singularly unlike, as it would seem, to our colleagues or ourselves.
The black-coated man came down from the platform and made his way toward Goodwin, amiable intentions visibly alight in his whiskered face. "Haven't seen you here before," he said at Goodwin's elbow. "What ship d'you belong to?" Goodwin, recalled to himself, looked down into the kindly, narrow face of the missioner.
Don Juste Lopez had had half his beard singed off at the muzzle of a trabuco loaded with slugs, of which every one missed him, providentially. And as he turned his head from side to side it was exactly as if there had been two men inside his frock-coat, one nobly whiskered and solemn, the other untidy and scared. "They raised a cry of 'Decoud! Don Martin! at my entrance.
In the afternoon, while Morrow and Clara stood on the boardwalk looking down at the Salvation Army tent, along came that innocent eccentric "Professor" Walters in bathing costume and with his swimming machine. The tall, lean whiskered, loquacious "Professor" had made Morrow's acquaintance in a former summer and now greeted him politely. "How d'ye do?" said the "Professor." "Glad to see you here.
Now run along." "I can't," says I; "my feet won't let me. Is that the Pepper box in there?" The door was open a foot or two; so I steps up to take a peek at the main squeeze. And say, the minute I sees him I knew he'd do. He wa'n't one of these dried up whiskered freaks, nor he wa'n't any human hog, with no neck and three chins.
