Of course, when he is sent out, after causing this little excitement, he proceeds to eat anything that happens to be handy; and, as the cook does not wish to be eaten herself, she bears her bitter wrong in silence, only hoping that the two pounds of butter which the animal took as dessert may make him excessively unwell. Now I ask any man and brother, or lady and sister, is a St.
It is argued that "a cheap coat makes a cheap man." In the East the feeling is that the duty on wool makes clothing poor and shoddy, and the prices excessively high for the poor. It is odd to find that the very first thing that did make trouble was the duty on wool, and it is still making the same trouble to-day.
Nor had he done it now, had not the younger sportsman, who was excessively eager to pursue the flying game, over-persuaded him; but Jones being very importunate, the other, who was himself keen enough after the sport, yielded to his persuasions, entered the manor, and shot one of the partridges.
We crossed the creek at the head of the island by means of a skiff; and, ascending the high grounds on the shore of the main land, proceeded in a northwesterly direction, through a tract of country excessively wild and desolate, where no trace of a human footstep was to be seen.
The root is used for tanning; the bean is pounded, and then put into a sieve of bark cloth to extract, by repeated washings, the excessively astringent matter it contains.

"Taylor was excessively sick and ill, but is now all alive, and says he 'feels so light' he could run a race. "I am pretty well. I have not been sick at all: I wish I had but I ought to be thankful for a great deal of comfort in this long journey. "I shall open this if anything worth recording takes place before we reach New York.
Norah flushed. "Never did," she said shortly, and untruthfully. "Don't know why you can't talk sense, Jim!" at which that maligned youth laughed excessively, until first the other boys, and then Norah, joined in, perforce.
Not only was the cost of living excessively high I had to pay twelve dollars a week for a bedroom in Brooklyn, an adjacent suburb, with "board" of which I did not partake very frequently, through an inherent dislike to bad cookery but employment of any description was so difficult to be obtained that for every vacant situation advertised in the New York papers there were several hundred applicants, amongst whom an Englishman stood a very poor chance of being selected when competing with native citizens.
