We, who have attained a much higher state of civilisation than the Celts ever did, worship Jesus, the first who endeavoured to teach men to behave decently and decorously under all circumstances; who was the foe of vengeance, in which there is something highly indecorous; who had first the courage to lift his voice against that violent dogma, “an eye for an eye”; who shouted conquer, but conquer with kindness; who said put up the sword, a violent unphilosophic weapon; and who finally died calmly and decorously in defence of his philosophy.
Turning to the troop, which had been decorously attentive, he bade them follow, saying "Come on, boys we shall have to do without the stranger; he does not fight, it seems, for the fun of the thing. If Pippin was here, doubtless, we should have arguments enough from the pair to keep them in whole bones, at least, if nobody else."
"You are so like in your uniforms I would not know you apart on the street in the dark," she said. Richard shot a merry glance in his uncle's eyes, then only smiled decorously with him and Peter Junior. "I wish you'd visit the camp and see us drill. We go like clockwork, Peter and I. They call us the twins."

The dark-eyed mother looked reproof on the levity of the younger children, and decorously applauded the passage, which she said had no application to the matter in hand. "But, mother, even if the passage be not literally taken, it must mean something. What did the Lord Jesus intend by it?

A taller and, Bean thought, a prettier girl than the flapper stepped aside for them, looking at Bean as they passed.
