"I want to know more about this Association, and where we come in. . . . Just now, Mrs Steele was talking about a District Secretary and local distributors which looks to me as if the whole business was cut-and-dried." "There's nothing cut an' dried about me, ma'am." Farmer Best's sharp little eyes twinkled, and he chuckled obesely. "Again Mrs Polsue has the right of it," answered the Vicar.
For delightful reading the lover of sea stories is referred to Best's account of Frobisher's second voyage to Richard Chancellor's chronicle of the same period to Hakluyt, an immortal classic and to Purchas' "Pilgrimage."
Best's been tellin' us as Miss Lyddy and Miss Irwine 'ull dance, an' the young squire 'ull pick my wife for his first partner, t' open the ball: so she'll be forced to dance, though she's laid by ever sin' the Christmas afore the little un was born. You canna for shame stand still, Adam, an' you a fine young fellow and can dance as well as anybody." "Nay, nay," said Mrs.
"It's very uncomfy without my pillow!" whispered naughty Verity, in distinct disobedience to this mandate, as the door of Mrs. Best's room closed. "Dare I go and fetch it?" "Sh! Sh! No!" "I know what we'll give Nursie for a Christmas present," murmured Fil softly. "A nice ornamental tin box of biscuits to keep in her bedroom. She shan't get hungry in the night again, poor dear!" "Sh! Sh!
'The best's a shilling a quire, mister, said the shopman; 'second best, tenpence. Communist as he was, Ernest couldn't help noticing the unusual mode of address; but he took the cheaper quality quietly, and congratulated himself on his good luck in saving a penny upon the original estimate.
The stores here don't seem to be what they were, even Roseboro's can't compare with Altman's and Best's for children's things." "We may not be in New York this spring," Isabelle replied, waking from her meditations on the subject of Miss Joyce and her daughter. "John's plans are uncertain and I don't care to go without him."
Clem's done what he could, an' I'll be real glad to help him out.... Oh, I asked 'em to come an' set with us at the service S'norta too. I allowed we could manage to spare 'em the room." She dreamed again, launched on a sea of glory; then roused to her final triumph: "But that's only part, Luke. The best's comin'. Jim Beckonridge wants you to go down an' see him.
I go to her politely now and then and ask her permission to buy things from Best's or Liberty's or some other good place. She always stares a minute when I begin, as if she scarcely understood what I was talking about and then she says 'Oh, yes, I suppose she must have them. And I go and get them. I keep her as well dressed as any child in Mayfair.
"And she never let any one guess it," said Agatha, more warmly, "for fear we might feel the difference. How very good of her." She seemed more impressed by Mrs. Best's bounty than by Magdalen's, but probably she took the latter as a matter of course and obligation; besides, the sense of it involved a sum in subtraction.
According to Paley, the Bishop was once impatient at the slowness of his Carlisle printer. "Why does not my book make its appearance?" said he to the printer. "My Lord, I am extremely sorry; but we have been obliged to send to Glasgow for a pound of parentheses." Best's Memorials, p. 196.
