Helbeck and his doings, from the beginning; they had kept up for years the most rancorous memory of the Williams affair; they had made the owner of the old Hall the bogey of a country-side. Laura knew it well. She never spoke to the little red man if she could help it. What pleased her was to make Daffady talk of him Daffady, whose contempt as a "Methody" for "paid priests" made him a sure ally.
With Ostend, Calais, Boulogne, and Havre seized by Germany, as they certainly would be, and turned into naval bases, do you still believe that England's security would be wholly provided for by her fleet?"

Honour, forsooth! it is like a nurse's bogey in the cupboard it is a shibboleth men use to frighten naughty women with, which for themselves is almost devoid of meaning. Even in this light I can see your face flush at her name. What chance shall I ever have against her?" "Do not speak of her, Mildred; let her memory be dead between us.
"Call it what you like: you look at things as they are." "Ah I've had to. I've had to look at the Gorgon." "Well it hasn't blinded you! You've seen that she's just an old bogey like all the others." "She doesn't blind one; but she dries up one's tears." The answer checked the pleading on Archer's lips: it seemed to come from depths of experience beyond his reach.
"I think that no evil will flow from her accident, for she was but a short time in the water; thanks to you, friend Bax." "And to my 'prentice, Tommy Bogey," said Bax, with an arch smile which was peculiar to him when he felt humorously disposed. The smile fled, however, and was replaced by an anxious look, as Tommy himself came aft and reported that the schooner had sprung a leak.
What with the 'Grand Prix d'Ostende, the 'Prix des Roses, the 'Prix des Ombrelles, handicap libre, réservé aux Dames, the 'Grand Prix des Dames, and a number of other objets d'art, which are offered for competition on almost every day from the beginning of June to the end of September, this is a perfect paradise for the pot-hunter and his familiar friend Colonel Bogey.
