They are very magnificent in houses, furniture, pictures of the best, jewels, plate, and clothes; most noble in presents, entertainments, and in their equipage; and when they visit, it is with great state and attendance. When they travel, they are the most jolly persons in the world, dealing their provisions of all sorts to every person they meet when they are eating.
You can tell your people, but we don't want it told in Glenloch just yet. I'm going to work like everything this fall so that when the time comes there won't be anything on my part to keep us from going. "Keep jolly, and remember that you're a Glenloch girl and must come back to us before long. Yours, ARTHUR."
The face of the other was equally pleasing in its way. It was red, round, and jolly, with twinkling eyes, the whole borrowing a certain dignity from closely cut white hair and mustaches. The man was about fifty, dressed and armed like the other. "What do you want of pistols, Boston?" he said to the younger man. "One might think this an old-fashioned, piratical cutting out."
Had two faces so he could watch the front and back door at once and get a double tip at Christmas time. Also, that was why he wore a beard; too much trouble to shave. We don't cry Nowel any more; instead we petition the janitor to send up a little more steam. But what a jolly picture Chaucer gives of Christmas! Grand time, Christmas!
As a result, we had the big book a year later. If Ferguson hadn't been perfectly cool, his instincts would have governed him. He would have dashed about trying to save people, and then met the waves with a noble gesture. He had time to be reasonable; not instinctive. The world was the gainer, as he jolly well knew it would be or where would have been the reasonableness?
Then came a burst of Rosie’s jolly laughter. She came running up to them, her cheeks like roses, her eyes like stars. They crowded around her. “What did you see?” “Tell us about it?” they clamored. Rosie shook her head. “No, no, no,” she maintained, “I’m not going to tell you what I saw until you’ve been down yourself.” It was Arthur’s turn next. They listened again.
The mission, I suppose, was a little display on the part of good Mrs. Coutts of authority over her high aristocratic suitor. I do not suspect her of turning dévote, and retract my consent given as above, unless she remains "lively, brisk, and jolly." Dined quiet with wife and daughter. I here register my purpose to practise economics. I have little temptation to do otherwise.
"Where's Miles?" asked Roy, as he brought a fresh pail of water and set it down beside his brother. "He was coming out but his father called him into his room." "We'll miss them when they go, won't we, Reggie? It has been jolly good fun to have Miles with us all summer. You ought to feel quite proud to think you are a strong enough magnet to keep him here."
"Well, if you think you're going to marry me, Miss Ann, you're jolly well mistaken." "Will if I like," said Ann, retiring into her sun-bonnet. Upon the whole, however, their affection for the doctor kept them friendly. Both children felt that something was wrong somewhere. Their idol was not happy.
See on yon verdant lawn, the gathering crowd Thickens amain; the buxom nymphs advance, Usher'd by jolly clowns; distinctions cease, Lost in the common joy, and the bold slave Leans on his wealthy master unreproved. Rural Games.
