"Damned if I know," replied his companion, who was more truthful always than either poetic or philosophic, "but if you mean that you've decided to come back to Richmond to live, I'm mighty glad to hear it." "That's what I mean. I came only for a visit and to lecture, but made up my mind on the way from the depot to come for good as soon as I can arrange to do so.
"It's had one effect already," replied Fleetwood, as Plank came up, ready for the street. "Ferrall says he looks sick, and Belwether says he's going to the devil; but that's the sort of thing the major is likely to say. By the way, wasn't there something between that pretty Landis girl and Siward? Somebody some damned gossiping somebody talked about it somewhere, recently."
"You cowards!" bellowed the sailor, "I'll have to come back and finish with the pope myself! It will not be the first one, anyhow. It's too late now! Be damned you all! Go ahead!" The gangplanks dropped. The steamer started to move. The priest stood still blessing her passengers, the Emperor, the Empress, the bolsheviki, the crew, all, all of them.
"I was clerk aboard the Sink or Swim two days ago." For a time Skipper Billy quietly regarded the lad the while scratching his beard with a shaking hand. "Clerk," Docks sighed, "two days ago." "Oh, was you?" the skipper asked. "Well, well!" His lower jaw dropped. "An' would mind tellin' us," he continued, his voice now touched with passion, "what's come o' that damned craft?"
I have known two or three hundred mountain lumber-jacks, hard-swearing and hard-drinking tough-as-they-make-'ems, to be whetted to a fighting edge over the rocky problem "Was Saul damned?" The mountaineers are intensely, universally Protestant. You will seldom find a backwoodsman who knows what a Roman Catholic is.
There was only one instrument in the house which could create this infernal din the orchestrion in the drawing-room, immediately above which, he recalled, his room was situated. He rang the bell for Webster. "Is Mr. Mortimer playing that that damned gas-engine in the drawing-room?" "Yes, sir. Tosti's 'Good-bye. A charming air, sir." "Go and tell him to stop it!" "Very good, sir." Mr.
There was a contained, prophetic energy in his utterances, even on the slightest affairs; he saw the damned thing; if you did not, it must be from perversity of will, and this sent the blood to his head. Apart from this, which made him an exacting companion, he was one of the most upright, hot-tempered old gentlemen in England.
"Oh, pshaw!" cried her father. "No such thing! You're just scaring yourself over nothing at all!" "Doctor Lake didn't think I was." Lake was the big child specialist in whose care Edith's children had been for years. "I talked to him to-day on the telephone, and he said we should get John out of the house." Roger heartily damned Doctor Lake!
"No? Naru hodo! Then what do you believe in?" It did not take long to answer that question. There is no country in the world in which Christianity has been more publicly and universally advertised. "Whosoever believeth in Christ shall be damned whosoever believeth not shall be saved," was the formula taught by the priests for centuries.
"It could be done with a little good will all round," he continued, "and nine men out of every ten would be the better off. But they won't even let you explain. Their newspapers shout you down. It's such a damned fine world for the few: never mind the many. My father was a farm labourer: and all his life he never earned more than thirteen and sixpence a week.
