Harry is a simple, downright fellow, and though I think he is my better in a broil, yet in discourse I can turn him my own way. The streets are now quiet, the night, too, is dark, and I may step aside if I meet any rioters. I will to the smith's, and, securing him for my friend, I care little for old Simon. St.
'If I could only be angry downright angry, she said, more to herself than Catherine, 'it would do one good. 'Give others leave to be angry for you! cried Catherine. 'Don't! said Rose, almost fiercely, drawing herself away. 'You don't know. It is a fate. Why did we ever meet? You may read his letter; you must you misjudge him you always have.
For one thing, she was different from any woman he had ever met before; and that of itself piqued his curiosity. You had to speak the downright truth to her when she looked at you with those clear hazel eyes; little make-believes of flattery were of no use at all.
"You don't tell me so! Well, well, folks must do as they like. For my part, I call that downright countenancing of iniquity. And I don't know how she could have the face to go, either. I must say, I have some curiosity to see how she behaves among folks."
"They'd've split," said Bunfit. "But they didn't, not downright. Well, there we are. The diamonds is with the lady. Lord George has done it all. Lord George and Lady Eustace, they're keeping company, no doubt, after their own fashion. He's a-robbing of her, and she has to do pretty much as she's bid.

The evening before the ceremony she swooned away, and she spent the whole night in sobs. My mother sat holding her two hands, and my brother walked up and down the room. I declared it was revolting and told my sister publicly that if she would refuse, downright, I would stand by her. I was told to go about my business, and she became Comtesse de Cintre."
She must have read my intentions by a kind of mental telepathy. "Are you going to do it?" she whispered. "Of course," I answered. "To miss such a chance would be a downright sin." There was a little awe in her laugh. "Miss Thorn is the only obstacle," I added, "and Mr. Cooke is our hope. I think he will go by me." "Don't let Miss Thorn worry you," she said as we climbed back. "What do you mean?"
Edmund Gosse's lyrics. Of novelists Dickens was his favourite. He called Darwin "our British Aristotle." Eothen was "that book of books." He never forgave Carlyle for denouncing The Arabian Nights as "downright lies" and "unwholesome literature;" Miss Martineau, as an old maid, was, of course, also out of court. If she had written Shakespeare, it would have been all the same.
Girls have a much smaller temptation in that way more to silliness than to actual wrong; but your tone in these matters that I speak of helps your brothers in their battles with downright wrong. Every boy who knows his sister's standard is very high, is helped far more than he is conscious of, by her influence, and far more than she ever knows, for she does not know all his temptations.
Now, I wonder if she DID finish it!" and Mrs Murchison put down her pan of potatoes with a thump to look in the family clothes basket. "Not she! Five shirts and ALL the coloured things. I call it downright deceit!" "I believe I know the reason she'll SAY," said Advena. "She objects to rag carpet in her bedroom. She told me so." "Rag carpet upon my word!" Mrs Murchison dropped her knife to exclaim.
