Well, some coves down to Cow Flat come up an' stole my goat, Butts, an' a lot of others, an' me an' some other fellers is goin' after 'em t'-night, late. A good sheep-dog what's a quiet worker 'd be spiffin. Cop's all right. He'd work fer me.
I had a spiffin' journey. Sick! not I. I'm never seasick, and I enjoyed the train. I made friends with such a dear old gentleman and with two boys. I nearly kissed the boys when I was leaving them, but I didn't quite. Is that you, Fred? Come along in now and let us be jolly together. Why, Alice, how stiff you are; you have not opened your lips yet."
"I heard Hester say this morning that she was going to try and induce you all to come back to the Grange to supper, so we three will join the rest of the party at supper, and if we start at once well be ready to welcome them when they arrive." "What a spiffin' plan," said Boris; "do let's start at once." Nell clapped her hands. "Now I've made you happy again, that's all right," said Annie.
You're lookin' spiffin' to-night, hey, Mrs. Ingleton? What do you think of your new daughter?" Mrs. Ingleton was smiling. "I am only wondering what all you young men can be about," she said. "I should have thought one of you would have captured her long ago." Sylvia turned round, disgust in every line, and walked to the window. "I will find Dad," she said.
I should never have gone out in it that night if it had not been for him. I was just trying it on when he came in. He threw up his arms with a wild yell the moment he caught sight of it, and exclaimed that he had "got 'em again!" I said: "Does it fit all right behind?" "Spiffin, old man," he replied. And then he wanted to know if I was coming out. I said "no" at first, but he overruled me.
"Your silly letter this morning was the finish." "A rattling good thing too," the irreverent Reggie declared. "I'm jolly glad to hear it." "And what do you suppose I am to do now?" "That's what I came to tell you. It's just spiffin' for my plans, as you'll see, dear." "It's not at all 'spiffin'' for mine." "You. wait! You and I will get married, Deleah. We'll bring it off at once, do you see?"
"She'll see that we have had our lark as well as the rest of them; oh, I call it real spiffin' fine." They were walking rapidly through the shrubbery now, and as Boris finished his speech they came out on the broad sweep in front of the house. Just before the entrance a brougham was standing, and instead of solitude they found themselves surrounded by familiar figures.
I was aht lite last night. 'Were yer? 'Me an' 'Arry went ter see the ply. Oh, Liza, it's simply spiffin'! I've never see sich a good ply in my life. Lor'! Why, it mikes yer blood run cold: they 'ang a man on the stige; oh, it mide me creep all over!
