Idle talk of strange sights and sounds crowded out of notice any true history the house may have had in those twenty-five years, or until war had destroyed that slavery to whose horridest possibilities the gloomy pile, even when restored and renovated, stood a ghost-ridden monument. Yet its days of dark romance were by no means ended. The era of political reconstruction came.
She's up there at Lynx Peak camp, with her rifle, and old Miller. They're after that big boar the biggest, horridest thing in the whole forest. I saw him once. He's disgusting.
Why, I thought he was very pleasant and kind!" and Polly opened her eyes with a surprised expression. "He 's an awful boy, my dear; and if you have anything to do with him, he 'll torment you to death. Boys are all horrid; but he 's the horridest one I ever saw."
"But he's Daddy's offiss-partner man," Judy objected, though without much vim or heat. Maria did not answer. Her eyes were glued upon the other engine. "All black and burnt and full of the very horridest diseases," put in Tim, referring to the heart of the destroyed Mr. Jinks beneath the engine.

Just see if she would! As she passed an alder clump and caught a glimpse of her aunt standing near the garden gate talking with Mr.
Oh, that was almost as old as the story of Antony and Cleopatra. She had paid his debts and he had paid hers. Their purse had been in common. And the handsome maid of honour? Ah, poor silly soul! That was a horrid, ugly business, and his Majesty's part in it the horridest. And Mrs. Levington, the rich silk mercer's wife? That was a serious attachment.
"You can't think, Howat, how I hate myself; the horridest things go round and round through my mind. We're all wrong I'm more like you than I admitted born snobs. I mean the kind who look down on people different from themselves. I can't help being on on edge. I can tell you this, though, I care more for Jim Polder than for any other man I've ever met.

The result was that Alice never went near the new house that she did not groan and moan and declare that Georgia pine was simply the horridest wood in all the world, while, upon the other hand, Uncle Si speedily came to regard Alice as an arch enemy who was seeking to trick and impoverish him. The neighbors sided with Alice, of course.
