"Lunch is all ready; sit down and eat it, and get dressed for the matinee afterward, Mr. Fenn got fine seats for you, near the front. You'll like the play, I know." And like the play they did. It was a light opera, of the prettiest type, full of lovely scenery, gay costumes and bright, catchy music.
The trouble was that many of the congregation would think only of the original words of these catchy tunes, and in the general uproar some of the priests would sing the actual texts, thinking that the people would not hear them, and forgetting that they were supposed to be for an all-hearing ear.
Susan stood in the same place, with her bag beside her, until her acquaintance came. "Now," said he, comfortably, as he lighted a fresh cigar, "we'll float pleasantly along. I guess you and I had better get acquainted. What is your name?" Susan flushed. "Kate Peters is the name I gave at the hotel. That'll do, won't it?" "Never in the world!" replied he. "You must have a good catchy name.
Captain Perez, on the contrary, grew more and more disgusted with the delay. He spent a good deal of time wondering why there were no replies, and he even went so far as to suggest writing to the editor of the Chime. He was disposed to lay the blame upon Captain Eri's advertisement, and hinted that the latter was not "catchy" enough.
Marrapit had offered 100 pounds reward for the recovery of his pet; and the Daily, under the heading "Catchy Clues," proceeded to tell its readers all over the country how best they might win this sum. All out of Mr. Issy Jago's tiny little paragraph. Daily readers revelled in it. Upon three of their number it had a particular effect. Bill Wyvern had not been at the Daily office that night.
"Come up to my office," said Jeffries, who happened to be near the door as she entered. "We'll see how you shape up. We want something extra something dainty and catchy." He was a short thick man, with flat feet, a flat face and an almost bald head. In his flat nostrils, in the hollows of his great forward bent ears and on the lobes were bunches of coarse, stiff gray hairs.
Upon "Country House Outrage" George alighted plump; with goggle eyes, scalp creeping, blood freezing, read through to the last "Catchy Clue"; aghast sank upon his bed. It had got into the papers! Among all difficult eventualities against which he had made plans this had never found place. It had got into the papers! The cat's abduction was, or soon would be, in the knowledge of everyone.
No one ever accused the Confederates of cowardice, and they surely wanted to capture Washington City. That they did not do so is ample proof that the battle was not a picnic to them. It had been boasted that one southern man could whip five northern men. This catchy phrase fell into disuse. It was natural and politic for the Confederates to magnify their victory.
THE Sunrise rotunda was ringing with a chorus from three hundred throats as three hundred students poured out of doors, and over-flowed the ridge and spilled down the broad steps, making a babel of musical tongues; while fitting itself to every catchy college air known to Sunrise came the noisy refrain: Rah for Funnybone! Rah for Funnybone! Rah for Funnybone! Rah!
"No laboured rhetoric," said a Leipzig paper, "distinguished the speech, and applause was not won by catchy phrases. The speaker talks like a plain man to plain people. Everybody listens enthralled as he tells of his life's work, of the unbounded love with which he would like to surround and lead to Salvation every one who lives and moves.
