When I said he "pays," I am not at all sure whether he has paid up this year or not, but he has flocks and herds, and of course is a responsible tenant. Yet he lives with his family in but a "bettermost" sort of cabin.
His sawl was bleedin' an' his hands raw a batterin' the gate o' heaven 'fore you was born, Polly ay, an' he'd got the bettermost o' the devil wance for all 'fore you was conceived in the womb; you mind that." "Us caan't get the bettermost o' the devil wance for all," said Mary, changing the issue, "no not no more'n us can wash our skin clean wance for all.
Eustacia asked, a little surprised to hear merriment so pronounced. "It is not one of her bettermost parlour-parties. She's asked the plain neighbours and workpeople without drawing any lines, just to give 'em a good supper and such like. Her son and she wait upon the folks." "I see," said Eustacia. "'Tis the last strain, I think," said Saint George, with his ear to the panel.
I may be mistaken; but I do think the tale of Elspat McTavish in my bettermost manner but J.B. roars for chivalry. He does not quite understand that everything may be overdone in this world, or sufficiently estimate the necessity of novelty. The Highlanders have been off the field now for some time.
After exhausting the charms of our occupation, finding that cat-fish were likely to be our principal haul, I left the river and went my rounds to the hospitals.

Ah! be this union between man and woman what it may; if it be really love, really the bond which embraces the innermost and bettermost self of both, how daily, hourly, momently, should we bless God for having made it so easy to be happy and to be good!" THE dinner-party at Mr. Braefield's was not quite so small as Kenelm had anticipated.
He courted her father, aware that men likewise, and parents pre-eminently, have their preference for the larger offer, the deeper pocket, the broader lands, the respectfuller consideration. Men, after their fashion, as well as women, distinguish the bettermost, and aid him to succeed, as Dr.
So Hepzibah and her brother made themselves, ready as ready as they could in the best of their old-fashioned garments, which had hung on pegs, or been laid away in trunks, so long that the dampness and mouldy smell of the past was on them, made themselves ready, in their faded bettermost, to go to church.
Many a willing mother lent her tall daughter her hat, best cap, and white handkerchief; and many a grateful father spared his linen waistcoat and bettermost hat, to induce his grown up son to attend; for it is a rule with which Mrs. Jones began, that she would not receive the younger children out of any family who did not send their elder ones.
