"Well now, when it comes to KILLIN'," Casey interjected spitefully, "I guess I coulda put the two of yuh away if I'd a wanted to right bad. Casey Ryan ain't no killer, because he don't have to be. G'wan an' hold me if yuh feel that way. Grub ain't none too good, but I can stand it till your boss comes. I want a man-to-man talk with him, anyway."
He had nearly got there, was just reaching his man-to-man finale, when the judges cut him short. "One moment, Mr. Dale." The nice young man had come in, and was talking both to Sir John and the Colonel. "Thank you. Just for a moment." Of his own accord Dale had gone back to the window. It was all over. Never mind about the end of the speech. Nothing could have been gained by saying it.
We have had to institute state examinations too; and it will perhaps be fortunate if some day hereafter our descendants, comparing machine with machine, do not sigh with regret for old times and American freedom, and wish that the régime of the dear old bosses might be reinstalled, with plain human nature, the glad hand and the marble heart, liking and disliking, and man-to-man relations grown possible again.
All else in the man his noble proportions, his fine features, and his frank bearing fitted in with that jovial, man-to-man manner which he affected. Here, one would say, is a bluff, honest fellow, whose heart would be sound however rude his outspoken words might seem.
But he spoke to me beautifully in a sort of man-to-man way, and was perfectly splendid in not asking any questions. If he hadn't been such a bubble-hater, I'd have thrown my arms round his neck and told him everything. So I let it go at promising him the refusal of the mare in case I decided to sell her. "Then I kited after Mr.
There is no difference really." Considered in all its bearings, this answer seemed an improvement; it encouraged her for the moment. But it seemed impossible for them to sit out there and talk in a man-to-man relation; they were Society. The very phrases of society, even the flowers, the supper, the yawning shack, everything, it seemed to her, was against it.
With her fresh complexion and red hair, and a large frame instinct with vitality, she looked aggressively healthy, and Lambert with his failing life felt quite a weakling beside this magnificent goddess. "Hallo, old fellow," cried Miss Greeby in her best man-to-man style, "feeling chippy? Why, you do look a wreck, I must say. What's up?"
But, if you can fancy it true, would you put yourself upon an equal footing with him?" "I would," said Robert. "Then you accept his code of morals." "That's too shrewd for me: but men who preach against duelling, or any kind of man-to-man in hot earnest, always fence in that way." "I detest duelling," Major Waring remarked.
I am only expressing the impressions of one who had glimpses of the Australians while the battle was raging elsewhere. Of course, skeptics had said that Gallipoli was one thing and the Somme another and the Australian man-to-man method might receive a shock from Prussian system; but, then, skeptics had said that the British could not make an army in two years.
Only rarely does direct man-to-man infection occur though there is always the possibility of it. The investigations have shown that the flea is the most common agent in transferring the disease from rat to rat or from rat to man.
