But a great many of the clergyman's patients are not only fools and cowards, but also liars. Sudden retirement of the angular female in oxydated bombazine. Movement of adhesion as they say in the Chamber of Deputies on the part of the young fellow they call John. Our landlady to Benjamin Franklin, briskly, Go to school right off, there's a good boy!
"Yeronner," said Attendant Mike Horan as he helped Judge Pollak into his black bombazine gown in his chambers in the old Post-Office Building on the morning of the return day, "there's a great bunch out there in the court room waitin' for ye, an' no mistake!" "Indeed!" remarked His Honor. "And who are they? What is the case?"

She changed the subject, under a hasty remembrance of having once made a face at the parson through a hole in the bombazine curtains. "Why don't you paint with paints, Bogy?" said she.

I don't believe you men know, half the time, whether a lady wears a nine-penny collar or a thread-lace cape worth a thousand dollars. I don't believe you know a silk dress from a bombazine one.
