Can't you let 'good enough' alone?" Kent turned it over in his mind, frowning thoughtfully into his coffee-cup. When he spoke it was out of the mid-heart of manliness. "I wish you would tell me one thing, Ormsby. Am I responsible for for the present state of affairs?" Ormsby stretched the truth a little; partly for Elinor's sake; more, perhaps, for Kent's.
You've got 'em running around in circles and uttering loud and plaintive cries, especially Jim Rankin, who had or thought he had a lead-pipe cinch on the job. Dortscher is tickled half to death. He knew he wasn't going to be allowed to succeed himself, and he hates Rankin worse than poison." Blount was balancing the spoon on the edge of his coffee-cup and scowling abstractedly.
But why did you stay on after you had recovered from your wound?" he asked penetratingly, though he was looking again at the bottom of his coffee-cup. "For a reason that comes to a man but once in his life!" Jack answered.
I saw it in a shop-window yesterday; and it occurred to me that it might be just the thing for High Valley, and fill a gap. And Mrs. Hope has brought you each a pretty coffee-cup." It was a merry meal. The pleasant look of the room, the little surprises, and the refreshment of seeing new and kindly faces, raised Mr. Templestowe's spirits, and warmed him out of his reserve.
In the next he knew that heavy trouble had fallen on Normandale Grange, the very day after he had left it. This is what Collingwood read as he sat, coffee-cup in one hand, newspaper in the other staring at the lines of unleaded type: TRAGIC FATE OF YOUNG YORKSHIRE SQUIRE "A fatal accident, of a particularly sad and disturbing nature, occurred near Barford, Yorkshire, on Saturday.
With those two there was never anything like an explicit reconciliation. They simply ignored a quarrel; and Mrs. Lapham had only to say a few days after at breakfast, "I guess the girls would like to go round with you this afternoon, and look at the new house," in order to make her husband grumble out as he looked down into his coffee-cup. "I guess we better all go, hadn't we?"
He can come up here if he wants to see us." "Oh!" Lawrence looked indeterminate. Something unusually nervous and excited in his manner roused my curiosity. "What is it?" I asked. "I could go if there's anything special." "It's nothing much, but well, if you are going, will you tell him " he dropped his voice to a whisper "I think I've found the extra coffee-cup!"
"What extra coffee-cup?" "I don't know." "He'd better ask Dorcas, or one of the maids, if he wants to know about coffee-cups. It's their business, not mine. I don't know anything about the coffee-cups, except that we've got some that are never used, which are a perfect dream! Old Worcester. You're not a connoisseur, are you, Hastings?" I shook my head. "You miss a lot.
If there be any fact that should have been well known, and doubtless was well known, to the higher administrative officers of the Fifth Army-Corps, it is the fact that if soldiers sleep on the ground in Cuba without proper shelter and drink unboiled water from the brooks they are almost certain to contract malarial fever; and yet twelve or fifteen thousand men were sent into the woods and chaparral between Siboney and Santiago without hammocks or wall-tents, and without any vessel larger than a coffee-cup in which to boil water.
"Why, to be sure it is high; but that, you know, is a token of the public confidence in the line. After all, the rise is nothing compared to that of several English railways; and individually, I suppose, neither of us have any reason to complain." "I don't like it," said Sawley, watching me over the margin of his coffee-cup. "I don't like it. It savours too much of gambling for a man of my habits.
