The 19th of this present month, about midnight, we weighed our anchors, set sail and departed from Dartmouth with two barques and a clincher, the one named the Elizabeth, of Dartmouth, the other the Sunshine, of London, and the clincher called the Ellin, of London; thus, in God's name, we set forwards with wind at north-east, a good fresh gale.
But it ain't so in towns. You don't know no one you meet there. It's the worship of neighbours, but it's the worship of strangers, too, for neighbours don't know nor care about each other. Yes, I love a Sabbath in the country." This author's friends say it's a clincher; they say he has sealed up Elder's mouth as tight as a bottle." "No," said I, "I have not; I have heard of it, but never read it.
"''Am sure o' 't, Gavin says, wi' michty conviction in his voice, 'for ye're bonny to look at, an' weel-kent for bein' a guid body. "'Ay, says Mag, 'I'm glad ye like me, Gavin, for ye have to tak me." "That put a clincher on him," interrupted Hendry.

"Who knows, too," she added, as a clincher to her argument, "whether Tom may not rise to be a leftennant, ay, and even an admiral, through this good Captain Mordaunt's introduction!" "Right you are, my lass, bless you!" chimed in father, rising up enthusiastically from his seat and tossing off the glass of beer he held in his hand. "So he will too, you'll see, or I'm a Dutchman.
Besides," as a triumphant clincher, "think of the cause!" Amarilly had heard the Boarder and a young socialist exchanging views, and she had caught this slogan, which was a tempting phrase and adequate to whitewash many a doubtful act. It proved effectual in silencing the conscience which Amarilly slipped back into its case and fastened securely.

"He was for putting down the monster 'party, and being the President of the people.
Without waiting for the wishes of his family to be expressed, Andy pursed up his lips and whistled. He still was not much of a whistler, yet from the shrill piping emerged a faint resemblance to a few bars of "The Stars and Stripes Forever." A great light dawned on Jerry. Andy at the scene of the crime. Coal dust on Andy. And now the clincher, his whistling "The Stars and Stripes Forever."
"No, Weener, it won't do I can't trade in my vision as a downpayment on a means to encourage a waste of ground, seed and water.
