"It won't be difficult," he went on; "not near as tough as that case you won for me. You can bring in all the bosh about his claiming to be an author, you know. And I'll stand expenses." This was downright generous of Mr. Cooke.
"I always did admire you more than anybody else could; but, good Lord! everybody must have eyes." "I'm afraid so," said Charity. "But you're the only one that has imagination about me." "Bosh!" "My husband can't see me at all." "Oh, him!" Jim growled. "What's he up to now?" "I don't know," said Charity. "I hardly ever see him. He's chucked me for good."

But it would be a frightful thing if if " He hesitated to form the words. But Merrihew had no such scruple. "If the silver and plate were missing when the Sandfords return?" "Oh, bosh!
