'Any service required? 'My respects to your wife. 'Your lordship is very good. Captain May bloomed at a civility paid to his wife. He was a smallish, springy, firm-faced man, devotee of the lady bearing his name and wielding him. In the days when duelling flourished on our land, frail women could be powerful.
We had all made sure that we were going to race here after winning the Cup at Ryde; and, indeed, after the race he said as much to the skipper." "Has he anyone with him?" Frank asked. "Only one gentleman, sir. I don't know what his name was." "What was he like?" "He was a smallish man, and thin, and didn't wear no hair on his face." "Thank you. Here is a sovereign for your trouble.
In effect, he didn't arrive at all, but suddenly was there. A car, discharging its passengers before the smallish gentleman could catch the eye of its operator, flew suddenly upward in the echo of a gate slammed shut in his face; and all the other cars were still at the top, according to the bronze arrows of their tell-tale dials.
When cooked cut them into smallish pieces, season with pepper, chopped-up parsley, and one tablespoon of lemon, then roll them in flour; dip into egg and fry. Take one lamb's brain, or one-half of a calf's brain, put it in a saucepan with cold water, change the water from time to time for a couple of hours, until the brains are thoroughly cleansed.

The real bedroom was usually a smallish closet nearby.

Low-type savages of smallish stature, and of little better intelligence than the predatory creatures who roamed the wild. With every passing moment the ring drew closer, foot by foot, yard by yard. Inside the bluff prone forms lay hidden under the scrub. And only the flash of rifle, and the biting echoes of its report, told of the epic defence that was being put up.
"The boy does not seem to have crossed the path at all," I remarked as we walked on, keeping off the track itself to avoid confusing the footprints. "We shall know when we have examined the whole length," replied Thorndyke, plodding on with his eyes on the ground.
