"Say, this couldn't be improved on any, according to my notion, Thad," Hugh remarked, as, attracted by the call of the klaxon outside, he hurried forth, wearing his overcoat, for the night air was quite chilly, it being still only April. "A bang-up night for a dance," echoed the enthusiastic Thad; "just cool enough to keep us from getting overheated.
"An artist," said Yan, wondering what this had to do with his dismissal. "Does an artist hev to be bang-up eddicated?" "They're all the better for it." "Av coorse, av coorse, that's what I tell Sam. It's eddication that counts. Does artists make much money?" "Yes, some of them. The successful ones sometimes make millions." "Millions? I guess not. Ain't you stretchin' it just a leetle?" "No, sir.
She'd 'a' been talkin' till now if I hadn't traded: Besides, betwixt me'n you, she give me a scare; you see I was afraid the thing would slip through my fingers, fer she set in to talkin' about havin' it moved to t'other side o' the square and rentin' it fer a barber-shop, an' she 'lowed, too, that it would be a bang-up thing to sell to a convict-camp to keep chain-gang prisoners in.
If we were here for a month, on invitation, we'd expect to have a bang-up time." "But this is so different," said Patty, dolefully. "A house party would mean all kinds of gaiety and fun.

Why, he, Bob, had over and over again been ten times as busy. At the thought he chuckled aloud. Harvey and his assistants turned to the sound. "Hullo, Harvey; hullo Archie!" cried the young man. "I'm certainly glad to see you. You're the only men I ever saw who could be really bang-up rushed and never show it."
One, who frequented our inn, and who was called the "bang-up coachman," was a swaggering bully, who not only lashed his horses unmercifully, but in one or two instances had beaten in a barbarous manner individuals who had quarrelled with him. One day an inoffensive old fellow of sixty, who refused him a tip for his insolence, was lighting his pipe, when the coachman struck it out of his mouth.
And there Looey left us. One day Doctor Kirby and me was walking along the main street of a little town and we seen a bang-up funeral percession coming. It must of been one of the Grand Army of the Republicans, fur they was some of the old soldiers in buggies riding along behind, and a big string of people follering in more buggies and some on foot. Everybody was looking mighty sollum.
"Did I bring enough?" enquired Conrad. "They'll do." "So'll ye, me lad," said Murphy behind his hand to Tressa. "Faith, but ye've a way wid ye. Here I was hoping for a bang-up spree, wid me houlding the watch till me blood got riled; and all that rat of a kid does is to dr-rop a few hundred husky bohunks into his pocket and lug 'em up the bank to overtime on a foine night like this.
Mavick, I wouldn't have missed it," said my lord, with easy assurance; "I'd have thrown over anything to have come. James and that sort of thing." "You flatter me, my lord," replied the lady of the house, with a winning smile. "No, I do assure you, it's bang-up. Ah, Miss Mavick, delighted, delighted. Most charming. Lucky for me, wasn't it? I'm just in time."
