My work, my home and my whole life were bound in with the upper class. And there could be no middle ground. My boasted tolerance, breadth of mind, my readiness to see both sides, my passion for showing up all men as human this to Joe was utter piffle. He had no use for such writing, or in fact for art of any kind.
"Dick, that was one month when I really lived. Gee! if life could only be like that I'd ask nothing more of the powers that rule; I certainly wouldn't." "But life can't possibly be like that," he returned, gloomily. "Even that would pall on you in time. I am older than you, Marie, and I know what I am talking about. We can go just so far and no farther." "Poof! piffle!"
A baby can wiggle its big toe without wiggling its other toes, an indication that it once used its big toe in climbing trees. We often dream of falling. Imagine the Copernican theory relying on such piffle for support. Is there a freak idea without a freak professor to support it? Evolutionists themselves, even including Darwin, admit as many as 20 objections to his theory.
If we don't, you shall be planted in the business. They will take you in, I believe, at any time, but would prefer you to finish your time here." "Yes, that's it," said Jack, "but I want work: this is all right, in a way, but it's mostly piffle. How all these Johnnies can dangle on, I don't know; it's not my idea of life."
The amazed group of men collected about them other members of the searching party, who stuck their heads out of ports and doors now and then to see that no evil magic had set the rigging in flames. "They all go th' same way," mumbled Hogan, staring at the anchor and wetting his dry lips. "Oi'm thinkin' it'll be our toime nixt." "Piffle," derided the American half-heartedly.
Tell Me that you will follow Me. I spoke to you in the wood. You have broken My law. . . ." "Lot of piffle," he heard Cardillac's voice from a great distance. "These freshers are always gassing." The electric light, seen through a cloud of tobacco smoke, came slowly back to him, dull globes of colour. "It's so hot I'm cutting," he whispered to Cardillac, and slipped out of the room.
Damn it, if you hadn't given Paul Abbey the cold turn-down, I might have got a boost over this hill. You were certainly a chump." "I'm not a mere pawn in your game yet," she flared hotly. "I suppose you'd trade me for logs enough to complete your contract and consider it a good bargain." "Oh, piffle," he answered coolly. "What's the use talking like that. It's your game as much as mine.
Up he came, his black hair sleek on his forehead, his short beard sleek. "I had an extraordinary dream last night!" he shouted. What was the matter with the man? This mania for conversation irritated Stanley beyond words. And it was always the same always some piffle about a dream he'd had, or some cranky idea he'd got hold of, or some rot he'd been reading.
Their relative sizes rendering an attempt of this sort quite too unwise, I was conscious of renewed irritation toward him; indeed, the vulgar words, "Oh, stow that piffle!" swiftly formed in the back of my mind, but again I controlled myself, as the chap was now sneezing violently. "Best hurry on, sir," I said with exemplary tact.
"Fudge!" exclaimed Ivy, continuing to play, but turning a spirited face toward her father. "What piffle! Whenever a player pitches rotten ball you'll always hear him howling about the support he didn't get. Schlachweiler was a bum pitcher. Anybody could hit him with a willow wand, on a windy day, with the sun in his eyes." The City was celebrating New Year's Eve.
