I laughed I couldn't help it when I imagined that six-footer traveling across the desert with a frying pan over that low bush. I laughed because it was so real to me, but he misunderstood, and said so sort of hurt, "Don't you believe me?" And I told him I did. And I did. And I do. Five miles isn't a great distance to travel over the desert after one's bacon. Mr. Mazzini and Dante Mr.
He is a six-footer, and while he is not handsome he is going to be a real man when he is fully developed, and steadied down to work. One day last week he made it his business to stop me in the hall and twit me about my shoes, and incidentally to ask me why I didn't dress like the other girls; and some way it came rougher than if it had been one of the girls.
Take me to prison but not, not into that house again!" She half fell on her knees in the mire, pleading, entreating, her body shaken by sobs. Then Harrison, who was an ex-Guardsman and a six-footer at that, plucked her off her feet and carried her, still struggling, still imploring with piteous cries, over the threshold into the house: Matthews followed behind.
But there is no Poverty in any Pocket of the Universe until Wealth arrives and begins to get Luggy. Susan thought she was playing in rare Luck to snare a Six-Footer who owned a good Squirrel Rifle and could out-wrastle all Comers.
If I could have had my own way, I would liked to have put a petticoat and a bonnet on him, and marched him up to the looking-glass! a great, able-bodied, idle six-footer! I don't think much of a man that will let his wife support him. Do you? All the way home I was thinking over what poor Bridget said: "It takes so little to make the poor lads happy."
He was between thirteen and fourteen, and it seemed utterly shameful that men, calling themselves soldier should make war on such a tender boy and drag him off to prison. But no six-footer had a more soldierly heart than little Red Cap, and none were more loyal to the cause. It was a pleasure to hear him tell the story of the fights and movements his regiment had been engaged in.
First among them came the men of the Cristobal Colon, and these were the best looking of all the captives. From their pretty fair average the others varied to worse and worse, till a very scrub lot, said to be ex-convicts, brought up the rear. They were nearly all little fellows, and very dark, though here and there a six-footer towered up, or a blond showed among them.
