Then, as Janet blushed crimson under the rebuke, she added, "Keep red like that instead o' white, and you won't need no love ointment." Janet felt a little cold thrill. How did Granny know what she had come for? Was she a real witch after all? For a moment she wished she hadn't come. Perhaps it was not right to tamper with the powers of darkness. Peggy Buchanan was notoriously unhappy.
Gourlay in Britain, where he was respected, esteemed, and taken to be a British subject; "and that he is so" thus ran the affidavit "this deponent verily believes is notoriously true in this district."
Here, it was necessary to exercise the greatest caution; for the place was notoriously the most dangerous upon the entire route. Extra guards were sent out, the animals securely corralled, each man required to sleep upon his arms, and every precaution taken to enable us to repel an attack at a moment's notice.
The defenders of James have frequently pleaded in his excuse the judgment of the Court of King's Bench, on the information collusively laid against Sir Edward Hales: but the plea is of no value. That judgment James had notoriously obtained by solicitation, by threats, by dismissing scrupulous magistrates, and by placing on the bench other magistrates more courtly.
Montagu Watson was notoriously a foe to the autograph-hunter. A genuine Montagu Watson was a prize in the autograph market. Dunstable was a man of action. When Mark, the boot-boy at Day's, carried his burden of letters to the post that evening, there nestled among them one addressed to M. Watson, Esq., The White House, Chesterton.
It must be added, that in no part of his writings do worse instances occur, than in this treatise, of that vanity which was notoriously his weakness, which are rendered doubly offensive by their being put into the mouth of his brother and Atticus. Here a period of seven or eight years intervenes, during which he composed little of importance besides his Orations.
They were doing 'The Widow of Ware. They were about a great deal together. It was common gossip at the time." "Gossip is notoriously uncharitable," said Sypher. "If charity covers a multitude of sins, uncharitableness has the advantage of uncovering them. The pudor britannicus, however, is responsible for uncovering the one I am going to tell you of.
The dangerous place was on slow, plodding boats, where the engineers drowsed around and allowed chips to get into the 'doctor' and shut off the water supply from the boilers. In the 'flush times' of steamboating, a race between two notoriously fleet steamers was an event of vast importance.
Newhall said "no;" but Collins, after pointing his nose to windward, declared he "could smell it plainly, and that the smell resembled beefsteak and onions!" To this, after a long snuff, the mate assented adding that beef was abundant in Brazil, and the people were notoriously fond of garlic!
But, there was the difference, even when called into action the most reliable and experienced of the regimental commanders were practically deprived of their commands; their regiments were broken up into pygmy detachments and scattered hither and thither by companies and squads, covering sometimes a tract of suburbs fifteen miles long and half as wide, while the entire force was placed under the orders of a city official notoriously in sympathy with the initial strike and seeking the suffrages of the very class from which the mobs were drawn.
