"A gwate, big girl," repeated the baby, nodding her pretty head approvingly, "that what Yosie say," then with abrupt change of tone, "where her breakfast, her wants her milk!" "An' she shall have it, sure," cried Mrs. O'Malligan promptly, and retired out the door with heavy haste, while Miss Bonkowski hospitably turned to bring forth what the apartment could boast in the way of breakfast.
It is of course less than magnanimity; they are not proposed to you for your worship; they are little Gods, temporary as that great wave, their parent human mass of the hour. But they have one worshipful element in them, which is, the divine insistency upon there being two sides to a case to every case. And the People so far directed by them may boast of healthfulness.
To-day its new foreign-drilled army of 150,000 to 200,000 men is the boast of the Middle Kingdom, and the army is said to be the most honestly administered department of the government. It has often been said, of course, that the Chinese will not make good soldiers, but whether this has been proved is open to question.
Hans Wyker had managed skillfully when he pulled the prospective county seat of Wolf county up Big Wolf Creek to Wykerton, a town he hoped to build after his own ideals. And his ideals had only one symbol, namely, the dollar sign. Hans had congratulated himself not a little over his success. "I done it all mineself," he was wont to boast.
We have used the force of arms to conquer the forces of barbarism and semi-civilisation, but the most hostile of our critics may be safely challenged to point to any country or province upon which we have imposed the Pax Britannica, which is not now the better for it.

You should never ask a kiss from an ugly woman, nor a loan from a poor man, for they immediately go and boast of it." Thus Mrs. Mravucsán. It is true she added: "But if any one were to call me as a witness, I should deny the whole thing." So you see, I can't stand good for the truth of it either. But that is neither here nor there.
A pause; a sigh or two of pain, and then a remark in a reflective voice: "Awful solid dog. What could he ben eating? Such animals is dangerous. At's what I say they're dangerous. And this reminds me of an incident which the dullest memory Virginia could boast at the time it happened must vividly recall, at times, till its possessor dies. Late one summer afternoon we had a rain shower.
Besides, you haven't got the acquaintance in high society that Nance Olden can boast. + + | Mrs. Oh Mag! Shame on you not to know the name even of the Bishop of the great state of yes, the lean, short little Bishop with a little white beard, and the softest eye and the softest heart and my very own Bishop, Nancy Olden's Bishop. And this was his wife. Tut tut, Mag! Of course not.
With all the spoils of Judaea, this fair maid is the property of Titus. Titus, whose boast it is that he does not go back upon his word, has decreed that she shall be sold and her price divided between the sick soldiers and the poor. Therefore she is no longer his to give away, even to his brother. With Titus I say if you desire the girl, Domitian, bid your agent buy her in the market."
