Nevertheless, "Dandy Steve" was the name by which he was familiarly known all through the Saranac region; and judging by the wilderness standard, the adjective was not undeserved. No such flannel shirts, no such jaunty felt hats, no such neckties, had ever been worn by Adirondack guides as Dandy Steve habitually wore.

So she complained to Major Booth, with a vehemence of adjective that, though it may be forgiven to her, need not be set down here.

He removed his glasses and wiped them carefully. "It is another instance," he generalised, "of the thing that is continually happening. We if indeed I may presume to the adjective scientific men we work of course always for a theoretical result a purely theoretical result. But, incidentally, we do set forces in operation new forces. We mustn't control them and nobody else can.

He asked no questions about it so that he might be told no lies, but he searched it in vain for a trace of the suffering Machin. It was, however, full of typographical traces of himself and his family. The description of the reception was disturbingly journalistic, which adjective, for Mr. Prohack, unfortunately connoted the adjective vulgar.

The evangelists do not attempt to describe what He was like; they let us hear Him and watch Him, as He lived in the memories of those who had been with Him; and He makes His own impression. The crowning tribute is that we have no loftier adjective in our vocabulary than "Christlike." A singular victory a victory over the world and sin and death.

You have the same eyes." It was a wonder she did not use the adjective "sweet"; for her tone clearly implied that she admired them. "I hear you are desperately and astoundingly clever," she continued, like the brook flowing on for ever. "They tell me your pamphlet on vivisection was quite masterly. How proud you must be, Mrs. Purling, to hear such civil things said of his books!"

The Bombay edition reads Gachchhanto etc., etc. The meaning then would be "who protected the wings, themselves making the last painful journey?" The Burdwan Pundits make Mahavalas an adjective of Putras. A better construction would be to take it as referring to Bhishma. Ghatayitwa is, literally, causing to be slain.

You are more like one of those absurd Americans." Maurice did not like the adjective. "I am one of them," wondering what the effect of this admission would be. "I am not English, but of the brother race. Forgive me if I have imposed on you, but it was your fault. You said that I was English, and I was too lonesome to enlighten you." "You are an American?"

We talk about "smart" business men, "smart" professional men, and by the adjective we may mean men who, though "keen," are yet honourable in their methods; or we may mean men who are just as scrupulous as the law of the land or the arbitrary criterions of society oblige them to be. And young men feel the impress of this widely-shared sentiment in a way particularly vivid.

The word impossible he never knows, whatever difficulties intervene between him and duty. He feels like Napoleon, "that impossible is the adjective of fools." Added to all these mental qualifications, is that perfect physique, which makes Kilpatrick the model soldier. As an equestrian we have never seen his superior. He rides as though he had been made for a saddle.
