"Better than any Benedictine I ever tasted," he said. "A dozen bottles of that would cure this beastly cold of mine. By Jove! it would. It's as good as the Gardivani I got that blessed day when we chaps of the Ninetieth breakfasted with the King of Savoy." He laughed to himself at the reminiscence. "What a day that was, what a stunning day that was!"
"For example, one time my deputy in your county wanted some liquor for himself. He and two of his cronies crossed the line into South Carolina, raided a still, and got beastly drunk. The blockaders bushwhacked them, riddled a mule and its rider with buckshot, and shot my deputy through the brain with a squirrel rifle.

Oline knew her secret; nothing mattered now. "I'll spoil your beastly face." "Beastly face?" gasps Oline. "Huh! Look to your own. With the Lord His mark on it!" Oline is hard, and will not give in; Inger is forced to give over the blows that are exhausting her own strength.

"Then, my dear Ansell, why are you so cut up? It's beastly when a friend marries, and I grant he's rather young, but I should say it's the best thing for him.
We have seen that the object of the trumpets was the Roman empire, the fourth beast of Daniel's prophecy. The same is the object of the judgments symbolized by the vials. The final subversion and utter destruction of that beastly power, was plainly revealed in the Babylonian monarch's dream. Rome and Constantinople were the capitals of the respective sections or members of the one empire.
Elizabeth received him a little stiffly, and Philip roused himself from sleep only to complain: "You've been four mortal days without coming near us!" "I had to go away. I have been to Regina." "On politics?" asked Delaine. "Yes. We had a couple of meetings and a row." "Jolly for you!" grumbled Philip. "But we've had a beastly time. Ask Elizabeth."
