"But the day's not been overlong, by chance, has it?" "Not half long enough." "All's well, then, still." He pressed her "You aren't weary of me yet?" Damaris reassuringly shook her head. Nevertheless she was very sensible of change in the tenor of their intercourse, sensible of a just perceptible hardness in his bearing and aspect.
"Take off your spurs, Fowler," Peter nodded genially at the preacher. "All's well that ends well. I hope that nothing more than your feelings got hurt." To Peter's utter astonishment Mr. Fowler suddenly laughed heartily. "My feelings, Peter," he exclaimed, "were never in better trim than they are this minute." "Nor mine!" agreed Douglas. "Nor mine!" added Judith.
Arrived at my hotel, I called for a bottle of schnapps, retired to my room, locked the door, and fervently ejaculated, "'All's well that ends well! Here's to the ladies of Helsingfors!

"Thou'rt a sight for sore eyes, Master Richard," he said; "it's many a long day since thou was here to pester me with thy questions. And all's strong again no bones broken? And now I'll teach thee to make a galleon, like as I promised." "Will you, indeed?" said Dickie, trembling with joy and pride. "That will I," said the man, and threw up his pointed beard in a jolly laugh.
Later, alone in a pleasant bedroom, the man who had put a face upon matters which the facts did not justify, opened wide the window and looked out upon moon-flooded hill and vale.

The Speedy will think we've been spoken, and all's right.
Chile's fine chile, good chile, but summonelse chile! Chile's gone, Clar'; but all ish'n't gone, Clar'. Conshider dearesht, you all's have me!" Mrs. Starbottle started to her feet.

You can't help being a fool. But don't do anything of that kind, or of any kind again. I might not be so easy going next time." Lady Blore drank down a large cup of tea. Her black silk bosom heaved.
"That will do now, you can come in," cried Mr Mackay on learning this "we're now all right and out of danger. Aft, there, steer east- nor'-east and keep a steady helm, we're now in open water and all's plain sailing!"
The short life and merry, rather than the T.B. and charity. "And has it been so merry, Gracie?" asked Peter, looking at the hard young face wonderingly. "Well, it's been heaps better than choc'late-dippin'," said Gracie, promptly. "I don't get no worse treated, when all's said an' done.
