"Yet, however lightly he affected to speak, the action annoyed him. Like all men of large means he was close. It seemed to him beastly to lose such a sum.

A beastly place, the town, but perfectly delightful country quite near at hand. Applegarth lives in an ideal spot you'll see." There was a knock at the door and the manager entered. Other business claimed their attention. Warburton often returned from Whitechapel to Chelsea on foot, enjoying the long walk after his day in the office.
His response had the bounding quality of a rubber ball. "If you'll sit here and make yourself comfortable, Mr. Dalton, I'll see what I can do." "Oh, it's a beastly hole, Kemp. How can I be comfortable?" Randy, who had come back from the telephone with a look on his face which clutched at Major Prime's throat, caught Dalton's complaint.
It's been a devilish uncanny business from first to last, and not much to my taste. Now, I like a decent robbery or a nice, quick-fingered forger that wants a bit of huntin' up. You know, even detectives have their particular favourites in the matter of crime, Borkins, and a beastly murder isn't exactly in my line." Borkins laughed respectfully, rubbing his hands together.

"I'd no idea you'd crocked yourself." "Oh, no, that's all right. It was only right at the end.
She seemed anxious to make him drink up the cup of his humiliation; but he knew her well enough to know that she spoke at random; she hurt him frightfully, and never even tried to. He did not answer. "It was a nasty trick you played on me, spying on me like that. I always thought you was a gentleman in every sense of the word." "Don't be beastly to me, Mildred. I can't bear it."
Well done, old chap, if it isn't a stale sentiment! "Will you come and dine with us? Do thy diligence, for though we are neither of us the best of company, we both want you. The doctor has ordered Daisy and the youngster home. They are to leave before the chota-bursat. Damn the chota-bursat, and the whole beastly show! Yours ever,
