Again and again the orator in the Philippics charges Antony with having used Caesar's seal ring for lucrative forgeries in state documents. It is interesting to find that Vergil's school friend, Varius, in his poem on Caesar's death, called De Morte first put Cicero's charges into effective verse: Vendidit hic Latium populis agrosque Quiritum Eripuit: fixit leges pretio atque refixit.
"We'll have them lowered," teased Bob. "If I may be allowed to suggest, Miss Fixit," said Colonel Baxter, addressing Shirley with great ceremony, "I would say that a band of contrasting color could be painted around the walls just about at the height of your head. That will give the effect of a lower ceiling at once." "Oh yes, Dad, the way you had it done in your den!
As she paid the check, Claire tried to think of some protest which would have any effect on the obese wits of the restaurant man. In face of his pink puffiness she gave it up. Her failure as a Citizeness Fixit sent her out of the place in a fury, carried her on in a dusty whirl till the engine spat, sounded tired and reflective, and said it guessed it wouldn't go any farther that day.
I might add, for what it's worth, that this Stephen Gresham you mentioned is Mill-Pack's attorney, negotiator, and general Mr. Fixit; he has been trying to put over this merger for Mill-Pack." "I'll bear that in mind, too," Rand said. "Naturally, all this is not being shouted from the housetops," Tipton continued. "Fact is, it's a minor infraction of ethics for me to mention it to you."
Just now, I would put you back in some city as a public relations officer, a Mister Fixit, to diagnose and cure personal and community ills. You would fix 'em or discard 'em instantly. "But, badinage aside, I know very little of the Bar-O entanglements and complications. It's an old story. Grandaddy knows all about it but he doesn't talk. There are few facts and many rumors.
While they were in the Sanitarium, the former Minstrel King and young Abie Fixit from the Music Foundry cut out the last vestiges of the Original Stuff and put in two Turns that had landed strong over the whole Orpheum Circuit. The romantic Operetta now became known as Another One of Those Things. It was eagerly discussed by Club Women and College Students.
I had the nerve to try an art print. I wanted to see what I could do." Colonel Baxter gave a low whistle when Shirley held up the print. "Now you have done something, Miss Fixit. That's very good." He held it at arm's length. "I should say it's very good! And these others are fine, too." "Now you're teasing me. I know you are." "No of course I'm not teasing. They're lovely.
Colonel Baxter is too good a business man for that and he has the interest of Shirley and Company too much at heart," protested Shirley. "Oh, I didn't think of that," replied Bet. "One does have to make a profit!" "Now here you are, Miss Fixit! Here is the bill. I backed you for it and you have two months to pay it."
Had not Augustus been converted on this point, Vergil would never have said of a lost soul: Vendidit hic auro patriam Dominumque potentem Imposuit, fixit leges pretio atque refixit. Augustus would have thought that he and Caesar were alluded to in these lines, which speak of a master given to a free state.
"We'll paint a sign for the window: 'SHIRLEY'S SHOP MARVELOUS PICTURES AT A BIG PRICE." "Oh no, Bet, that won't do! That would frighten people away," exclaimed Shirley. "Well, we'd get rid of the people who want a picture for two cents, anyway." The Colonel laughed heartily at his young friends. "Miss Fixit has the right idea. You're developing a real business head already."
