I always knew those were perfectly beastly shoes. It was Sylvia Courtney made me buy them, though I told her at the time they'd never stick on, and what good are shoes if they don't Now they are sure to see it; though perhaps they won't If they don't I can make another dart and get it." To avoid all risk of the loss of the second shoe Priscilla took it off before she started.
"Soldiering? Well, I shall have to train up a bit and see. Beastly ugly work they seem to make of it, nowadays. I don't mind roughing it up to the extent of my capacity, but I do think that the advice of one's medical man should be taken into consideration." She laughed at him openly. "Do you know," she said, "I can't picture you campaigning in France!"
"Nothing but a beastly turnip and a wormy beet," said Tommy. "I'm awful hungry." "You'd have had something better if you'd stuck by the baby, and not left her to the rats!"

So there came to him an opening for picking up a few pounds towards their joint expenses. "But why should you want me now, more than for the last fortnight?" he said, contending for the use of his own time. "Mr. Moss is disagreeable." "Has he done anything new?" he asked. "He is always doing things new that is more beastly one day than the day before."
They present a temptation where there are a number of young men about. I have noticed that some of the young men look round when the maid- servants come into church. I have overheard remarks too....

He grabbed one of those legs, worried it, and then leaped to tear at the under body. Unlike the outer shell, this portion of the creature had no proper armor and the wolverine plunged joyfully into the business of the kill, his mate following suit. The process of butchery was a bloody, even beastly job, and Shann was shaken before it was complete.
One day she taxed him with it. Rowcliffe had tried to excuse his early morning temper on the plea that he was "beastly tired." "Tired?" she had said. "Of course you're tired if you went up to Garthdale last night." She added, "It isn't necessary." He was silent and she knew that she was on his trail.
