"It would be real romantic to die young and have your lover make a pilgrimage to your garden every year," reflected Sara Ray. "It would be more comfortable to go on living and get married to him," said Felicity. "Mother says all those sentimental ideas are bosh and I expect they are. It's a wonder Beautiful Alice hasn't a beau herself. She is so pretty and lady-like."
"That's right, Mr Bowles," chimes in one of the shearers, "stand up for the shed. I never see a young gentleman work as hard as you do." "Bosh!" growls de Vere, "as if anybody couldn't gallop about from the shed to the washpen, and carry messages, and give half of them wrong!
Elisabeth had not talked to Alan Tremaine for over a year without learning his tricks of thought and even of expression. "Don't you think that it is better to believe a little with the whole intellect than a great deal apart from it?" Christopher looked obstinate. "I can't and don't." "Have you no respect for 'honest doubt'?" "Honest bosh!" Elisabeth's face flushed.
"I guess it does for me. I'd like to go the worst kind, but where would I pick up the money to pay my way? Of course I might float down the Mississippi on the Tramp all right, given time enough; but that would be kind of lonely business for one; now if you could only say, I wonder oh, bosh, of course you wouldn't want to even think of it," and he dropped his head dejectedly.
To be sure, in his eyes, it was all so much unutterable bosh and nonsense; and bosh and nonsense for which he was eventually to settle the bills: but he armed himself with the patient reflection that all things have their end in time, that fireworks and Chinese lanterns, bands of music and kid gloves, ruffs and puffs, and pinkings and quillings, and all sorts of unspeakable eatables with French names, would ere long float down the stream of time, and leave their record only in a few bad colds and days of indigestion, which also time would mercifully cure.
"I don't know about that," said the other, good-humouredly; "I've been spending a good deal of money in music things lately." "Bosh! you can get me out of the hole, if you like." "How much do you owe him?" Mark threw the end of his cigarette with all his force into the fireplace, and ground his teeth for a few moments before muttering between them "Eighty-four pounds, or so!" "What?"
As a farewell inducement to the children of this city to visit him, he will give a splendid present to each and every girl or boy accompanied by an adult." The North Pole part was all bosh. John knew that well, thanks to his present sophistication. But the lure of the present set him to thinking.
"Nothing could be better, and indeed I ought to succeed, for it's dull work, I can tell you, especially when she begins talking resignedly about the child that was stolen a few centuries ago, and her hopes of meeting it in a better world. Horrid bore dreadful bosh; but anything is worth bearing if money is to be made of it good, sure, sterling money.
But I gather that you claim to be contemplative here. I've been reading your ridiculous monthly paper The Dragon. Full of sentimental bosh about bringing back the glories of monasticism to England. Tintern was not built of tin. How can you contemplate Almighty God here? It's not possible. What Divine purpose is served by collecting men under hundreds of square feet of corrugated iron?
"So he says, but he wants to know why you discharged him. He says you acted as if something was wrong." "Well, something is wrong," admitted the book-merchant; and then he added in an undertone: "I meant to send you word about it. I don't care to have the boy aware how much or how little I do know.
