What a joke! Holy whiskered black cats, what a joke!" "I'm afraid Mr. Inglesby's sense of humor isn't his strong point," said I. "Not that I have any sympathy for him. I think he is getting only what he deserves." "Alexander the coppersmith wrought me much evil. May God requite him according to his works!" murmured the Butterfly Man, piously, and chuckled.
The whiskered man, whose cap was elaborately embroidered in gold with the words "Hotel du Vesuve," seemed to understand the driver. He sighed drearily and said to Mr. Merrick: "You must pay him thirty lira." "How much is that?" "Six dollars." "Not by a jugfull!" "You made no bargain." "I couldn't. He can't talk." "He claims it is you who cannot talk." "What!"
"There goes one of the most remarkable men in the country," said a well-known gentleman standing in front of the Gibson House yesterday. The person referred to was a stoutly-built, sandy- whiskered individual of medium size. He is well known to most men about town, and his exploits on Southern rivers might fill a book. It was George H. Devol.
She stood blinking at us, coming from the bright light outside, as cute as a new faro box then: "Can you tell me where Mrs. Bradshaw lives? She's somewhere in this district. I'm her daughter come all the way from the States to see her." When she smiled I could hear the heart-strings of those ragged, whiskered, frost-bit "mushers" bustin' like banjo strings.
This confidence is contagious. Alice and Esther now feel that the case is won. Next day Sir Donald, Oswald, Esther, and Alice go to London. On the same train there is an odd-looking, strangely dressed, heavily whiskered man, who says nothing, but keeps track of the Northfield party until all enter the home of Alice Webster. Sir Donald learns that the plaintiff, William Dodge, is from Calcutta.
Monsieur Love, who was thundering down behind her, cried, "Bravo!" and as the well-grown gentleman had to make a sweep to avoid disturbing her equilibrium, he came full against the whiskered stranger, and sent him off as a bat sends a ball. "Mon Dieu!" cried Monsieur Goupille. "Ma douce amie she has fainted away!"
"All aboard," cries the swarthy, whiskered captain a grasp of the hand no word was spoken it was warm and sincere, there was no need of words each understood that last warm farewell pressure. She is sweeping around Slaughter-house Point only the topmasts are visible now and now she is gone. The young adventurer stands alone and the crowd goes hurrying on.
My action might have made me appear eccentric. Goodness only knew how that absurdly whiskered mate would "account" for my conduct, and what the whole ship thought of that informality of their new captain. I was vexed with myself. Not from compunction certainly, but, as it were mechanically, I proceeded to get the ladder in myself.
Black, brown, white, grey; fat and lean; old and young; strident or silent; the whiskered legions tore and galloped along; thronging from every part of the city, they united in single column into an endless host that appeared to stretch from the rising to the setting of the sun.
Elijah's whiskered face was matted with ice, as were his eyebrows, so that, what of his fur garb, he looked like a New England caricature of Father Christmas. "You recollect that big spruce that held up the corner of the cache next to the river?" Elijah began. The disaster was quickly told.
