"Well, I was fighting for Sir Jervas then, him they call 'The Firebrand' " "Do you mean Sir Jervas Vereker?" "Aye, I do one o' the bang-up nobs, a tip o' the tippies, but the best sportsman and truest friend ever man fought for " "Good!" quoth I. "D'ye happen to know him, brother?" enquired Jessamy, with another look of mild surprise. "I begin to think I do not," I answered.
Lives there, we would ask, a thoroughbred, prime, bang-up, slap-dash, break-neck, out-and-out artist, within three miles of the Monument, who has not occasionally "gone a good 'un" with this celebrated pack?
And they would have, Father chucklingly declared, "a bang-up dinner at Bomberghof Terrace, with music, and yes, by Jiminy! and cocktails!" For a week he awaited an answer, waited anxiously, though he kept reassuring himself that old Pilkings had promised to keep the job open for him. He received a reply. But it was from Pilkings's son.
Thinks I, we can't afford to let these children go away without a bang-up meal in their little insides, so's nobody could think they was ever hungry in their lives, and so this morning I just stepped out and oh, yes, I forgot, sir, I DID get a few hot house grapes and one or two other trifles, just to make it seem real, not to mention some celery and olives and fruitcakes."
"Will they do justice to your work," Kennedy inquired, "putting you in a partially finished picture in this way?" "That's where I'm in luck, real bang-up luck. Werner has directed me before and knows just exactly how to handle me." "What about the story? That was built for Stella, wasn't it?" "Yes, but they're changing it here and there to fit me. Larry knows my work, too!
"But how come you hereabouts and along of Anna, too? And how comes Anna free o' the Folk at last and along wi' a young gorgio gent wi' nothing flash about him? And what's come o' your bang-up duds? And I'd like to know but wait a bit! Are ye hungry?" "We are!" answered Diana. "Good!" exclaimed the Tinker.
Luce went on: "The pitchers for the regular school nine will be Prescott, Darrin, Ripley, in the order named." "Oh, you Dick!" "Bang-up Prescott!" "Reliable old Darrin!" "Ripley -ugh!" And now the fierce cheering drowned out all other cries. But Fred Ripley, his face purple with rage, darted forward before the judges. "I protest!" he cried. "Protests are useless," replied Mr. Luce.
You immediately start in making plans and arrangements dogs, guns, food, drinks leaving nothing undone to make it a bang-up affair and give Brown and yourself the time of your lives.
The gospel it hears is too seldom of the inviting kind, adapted to its wants, addressed to its affections and reason. Men have been fed on the letter, while needing the spirit and truth which the letter conceals. Preachers have spun too much gossamer and tinsel; and woven too little solid bang-up and beaver for wear and comfort.
"The Woman's always getting up some storm that never comes to anything," he said aggrievedly. "I thought she really meant it this time. Gosh, I wish there would be a real bang-up fight with guns shootin' everywhere! Wish the States would come over here or something and try to take Canada. But I guess there's no such luck."
