Of this Border tour Burns kept a scrappy journal, but he was more concerned in jotting down the names and characteristics of those with whom he forgathered than of letting himself out in snatches of song. He makes shrewd remarks by the way on farms and farming, on the washing and shearing of sheep, but the only verse he attempted was his Epistle to Creech.
She was slim and would have been young-looking if she had not made such obvious efforts to imitate the healthy colour of the cheeks which she probably would have had if she had lived sensibly and left cosmetics alone. Kennedy was hastily jotting down some notes on the back of an envelope. "They are going through the same proceedings again. I guess Ike doesn't like her. There she goes.
Cayley know as soon as possible," he said, jotting the details in his note-book. "What about Lord Southbourne?" "I'll send word to him later." I felt distinctly guilty with respect to Southbourne. I ought, of course, to have communicated with him or rather have got Freeman to do so as soon as I began to pull round; but somehow I'd put off the unpleasant duty.
It still lives and blooms in a glass on my writing-table at which I have been jotting down the notes of what I mean to say. WHAT I MEAN TO SAY! There is more in those words than there seems, if you could but guess all! I shall trust to the day itself for the necessary eloquence. The congregation that assembles at the Lorette is a curious and a mixed one.
The peasants returning from the fields at a trot and jotting in their empty carts, took off their hats, and, in their surprise, followed with their eyes the extraordinary man who was walking up their street. The women came out of the gates or stood in the porches of their huts, pointing him out to each other and gazing at him as he passed.
He had never had the time or opportunity of jotting down the numbers of the notes. "Mr. Winslow, though terribly wrathful against his nephew, did not wish to keep him out of his home.
It is in heaps, and of finest quality they say. Here is a jotting from a sketch in colour; I made also one in line to immortalise the Prome triumphal arch. There are more than a dozen flags on it now, and you see two natives putting up two lamps; and the governor, you can imagine he is training his pair of carriage ponies to stand this unusual display.
Several times I found him sitting in the rustic chair by the door jotting down notes for some address or sermon, but never seated on the old stone bench.
I am going to try to give a few impressions of talks with Father Payne both public and private talks. It is, however, difficult to do this without giving, perhaps, a wrong impression. I used to get into the habit of jotting down the things he had said, and I improved by practice. But he was a rapid talker and somewhat discursive, and he was often deflected from his main subject by a question or a discussion. Yet I do not want it to be thought that he was fond of monologue and soliloquy. He was not, I should say, a very talkative man; days would sometimes pass without his doing more than just taking a hand in conversation. He liked to follow the flow of a talk, and to contribute a remark now and then; sometimes he was markedly silent; but in no case was he ever oppressive. Occasionally, and more often in tête-
He sat in a recess by the open window, which looked on the lake; and books were scattered on his table, and Maltravers was jotting down his criticisms on what he read, mingled with his impressions on what he saw. It is the pleasantest kind of composition the note-book of a man who studies in retirement, who observes in society, who in all things can admire and feel.
