It's light come and light go with most of us, for the simple reason that money is outside our real life; whereas with you English it's the warp and woof of it." "Oh, bosh, darling!" "No, it isn't bosh. In your civilization it's as the blood; in ours it's only as the clothing. That's something like the difference. In accepting it from Peter Davenant which is hard enough!
Inaccuracy, provincialism, and a too hasty rushing to conclusions, were the rocks that he had split on, but he got his revenge when he said: "How would I play with you? From all the poppycock Anglice bosh you talked about poker, I'd ha' played a straight game, and skinned you. I wouldn't have taken the trouble to make you drunk.
"Handling as mixed a crew as we have on this work I wouldn't think of going about unarmed. And you ought to go armed, too, Mr. Reade." "Bosh!" uttered Tom. He had a well-known objection to carrying a pistol. Reade always maintained that a pistol-carrying man was a coward. A coward is one who is afraid, and the man who is not afraid has no reason to carry a weapon.
"Oh, bosh," said Malcourt; "if you don't want me here, Billy, say so and be done with it." "I didn't say I didn't want you " "Well, then, let me alone. I don't neglect your business and I don't intend to neglect my own. If the time comes when I can't attend to both I'll let you know soon enough perhaps sooner than you expect." "You're perfectly welcome to go to town," insisted Portlaw, alarmed.
As for saying it is innate, or that there is any natural antipathy to that class, it's all perfect folly; children are not born with it, or why shouldn't they shrink from a black nurse or playmate? It's all bosh," concluded he, indignantly, as he brought his cane down with a rap. "Charlie's been quite a means of grace to you," laughingly rejoined Mrs. Bird, amused at his vehemence of manner.
"Oh, yes, it's all very well to say go to bed when a man makes an argument which another man can't answer. Dan don't never stand any chance in an argument with me. And he knows it, too. What should you say, Jack?" "Now, Doctor, don't you come bothering around me with that dictionary bosh. I don't do you any harm, do I? Then you let me alone." "He's gone, too.
This talk of an arson trust is bosh yellow journalism. More than that, we have been systematically robbed by a trusted head of a department, and the fire at Stacey's was the way the thief took to cover er her stealings. At the proper time we shall produce the bookkeeper Douglas and prove it.
"I'll tell you all by and by," smiled Dick. "But now, let us hurry back to camp. I want to see Mr. Colquitt just as soon as I can." "Bosh! A detective like Colquitt doesn't take up with such trifling mysteries as missing marrow bones," jibed Reade. "Besides, we can't afford to hire detectives."
We'd have more money to spind in entertainin' you if the government hadn't taken three million of pounds out of us to build fortifications in China." Mr. Rose. "That's all bosh and nonsense; you wouldn't know how to manage an hotel if you had the money." Mr. Shamrock. "If we can't make hotel-kapers, it's soldiers we can make; and be the same token you can't manage India or Canada widout our help!
Three hundred and fifty offered themselves, all presumably ruined by Chinese cheap labor; but all but a dozen refused to accept work when they heard that they were required to go "out of the city." The charge that the Chinese underbid the whites in the labor market is bosh.
