I think Wilfrid thought so; or the reason far the opposition to Dover impressed my brother. I like him to be made to look foolish, for then he retrieves his character so dashingly always. They exchanged about six sentences these two. I cannot remember them, unhappily; but for neatness and irony, never was anything so delicious heard.
I must say it looks a good deal that way to me, myself." "What nonsense!" Alice exclaimed. "She's never even mentioned him to me." The young man glanced at her dubiously and passed a finger over the tiny prong that dashingly composed the whole substance of his moustache. "Well, you see, Mildred IS pretty reserved," he remarked.
Everywhere they were routed, and at a last fight at the pass over the Somosierra mountain, the superiority of the French was strikingly shown. While the Spaniards were pouring down grapeshot on the struggling masses of the assailants, the Emperor resolved to hurl his light Polish horse uphill at the death-dealing guns. Dashingly was the order obeyed.
All Grandmama committed herself to, in her elderly caution, which came however less from age than from having known Mrs. Hilary for sixty-three years, was "Well, well, we must see." And then Rosalind's letter came. It came by the afternoon post the big, mauve, scented, sprawled sheets, dashingly monographed across one corner.

For the Five Towns, although continually complaining of bad times, is immensely wealthy, as well as immensely poor a country of contrasts, indeed and private carriages, if they do not abound, exist at any rate in sufficient numbers. Nay, more, automobiles of the most expensive French and English makes fly dashingly along its hilly roads and scatter in profusion the rich black mud thereof.
Arrah may possibly recall a dim memory of Wake's splendid defence of Boyle's bungalow and of Vincent Eyre's dashingly executed relief of the indomitable garrison.
There would be plenty of eggs then, and in a few weeks squabs quiveringly, helplessly fat. It was a good tree, for it gave good tidings, and it centralised the shelter of the Isle.
