Oh, and that's probably what it means, too, when you say: Honesty is the best Policy." "I never heard such a child," said M. P., shocked. "Cupid, you really shouldn't put such things into her head. You're down-right immoral, Laura." "Oh, how CAN you say such a horrid thing?" "Well, your ideas are simply dreadful. You ought to try your hardest to improve them." "I do, M. P., really I do."
These juvenile parties appear to do less mischief to boys than to girls. They help to humanize the one, and to make heartless coquets of the other. The boys meet for a down-right romping play with each other; the girls to be caressed and admired, to show off their fine dresses, and to gossip about the dress and appearance of their neighbours.
"For cutting off small parties, harassing convoys, or anything of that sort, they are excellent; but for down-right hard fighting, the guerillas are not worth their salt.
From behind a screen at the side, Checkers and Arthur came forth, and met them at the altar. The service was simple, but solemn and impressive. The earnestness of Checkers' answers caused a quiet smile to pass around, which culminated in down-right laughter at the ardor with which he kissed the bride when the time came; but he was wholly oblivious.
What gars ye stop now? ye're just at the very bit for a chance." "Weel," said the beggar, "that's the likeliest bit of ony. It will be but a muckle through-stane laid doun to kiver the gowd tak the pick till't, and pit mair strength, man ae gude down-right devvel will split it, I'se warrant ye Ay, that will do Od, he comes on wi' Wallace's straiks!"
I am just come home from Parliament House; and now, my friend Nap., have at you with a down-right blow! Methinks I would fain make peace with my conscience by doing six pages to-night. Bought a little bit of Gruyère cheese, instead of our domestic choke-dog concern. When did I ever purchase anything for my own eating? But I will say no more of that. And now to the bread-mill. June 15.
Much of the talk about the alliance between Hedrick and Handy is, of course, down-right slander; every lawyer who tries lawsuits for forty years in a country town is bound to make enemies of small-minded people, many of whom occupy large places in the community, and a small-minded man, believing that his enemy is a villain, makes up his facts to suit his belief, and then peddles his story.
"Do you know I think a dinner horn and a singing kettle beat a symphony all hollow for real down-right melody," and he lifted the kettle from the fire-place. Diotti smiled. With mathematical accuracy the old man filled the two tumblers with boiling water.
The principal causes why independence has not been so universally supported as it ought, are fear and indolence, and the causes why it has been opposed, are, avarice, down-right villany, and lust of personal power.
The call to supper interrupted them just there, and perhaps saved them from a down-right quarrel. Lulu had no appetite for the meal, and it seemed to her that the others would never have done eating; then that they lingered unusually long about the house before starting for their accustomed evening rendezvous the beach; for she was on thorns all the time.
