"Dared Cromwell mention this to thee in express terms?" said Everard, pulling up his horse, and stopping in the midst of the road. "This tallies with what Alice hinted," said Everard; "but how could she know it? didst thou give her any hint of such a thing?"
Even the optimism of two-and-twenty recognised that such straws as these could not weigh against the hard- headed logic of a business man! It was in the last degree unlikely that Ronald would make any striking success in literature in the time still remaining under the terms of the agreement, unless as she herself had hinted desperate measures were adopted to meet desperate needs.
There was a fight on the very first day, when our men killed, as before hinted, a Rebel surgeon, which was oddly metamorphosed in the Southern newspapers into their killing one of ours, which certainly never happened.
The oysters were delicious, the salad sufficiently "chunky" to please Roger, the biscuits as light as a feather and the fruit mélange as good to look at as if it was to eat. The table decorations hinted at the New Year that was upon them. High in a belfry made of small sticks piled on each other criss-cross hung a small bell.
Little Hartopp's voice drowned Mason's ere Prout caught the import of the sentence. "The boy himself hinted at the existence of a deal of it in the house," said Prout. "He is past master in that line," said the chaplain. "But, as regards the honor of the house " "They lowered it in a week. I have striven to build it up for years.

"When you have a mixed crowd of workmen " "I think you've said that before," Tom broke in coolly. "To-night we're in too much of a hurry to listen to the same thing twice. Come on, men. You can go a little faster than a walk. Jog a bit -I'll show you how." "This is pretty hard on men in the middle of the night," hinted Evarts, after the jogging had gone on for a full minute. "It ain't right to "

"Does it matter?"
The congregation, as hinted, is more "fashionable" than that at Wesley Chapel: it is more select, has more pride in it, sighs more gently, moans less audibly, turns up its eyes more delicately, hardly ever gets into a "religious spree," and is inclined to think that piety should be genteel as well as vital.
