Everything that girl has on except her stockings and gloves has been remodelled from her old stuff. Her pumps are not suitable at all for walking; they are evening pumps, of a style two years old at that. But she has covered them with spats, so that no one will suspect that she wears them from necessity, not choice." "Well, I'll be " Dicky uttered his favorite expletive.
Not even for sake of Hetty's young ears could the old Squire mention the British rascals without his favorite expletive. Here, also, came in another lesson which sank deep into Hetty's heart.
He had said that "thoroughly bad girl" was strong language, and when the Duchess defended the phrase he had expressed his opinion that Arabella was only a bad girl and not a thoroughly bad girl. The Duchess had said that it was the same thing. "Then," said the Duke, "why use a redundant expletive against your own relative?"
"Oh, damn women," he mumbled as he drew at his pipe the fifth that morning. It was the first time in a week that he had uttered his pet expletive. "What does she say?" "You can read her letter." "Would she mind?" "Oh, no," Jean said bitterly. "She loves you what she calls loving next best after me. She told me so." Hilaire carefully smoothed the crumpled, blotted page out on his knee.
Later, when Lorry heard that the writer was to bring his daughter into the high country, he expressed himself to Shoop's stenographer briefly: "Oh, hell!" Yet the expletive was not offensive, spoken gently and merely emphasizing Lorry's attitude toward things feminine.
"I suppose there were some things they did in the army, and then they couldn't get over the habit. But General Grant says in his 'Life' that he never used a profane expletive." "Does General Triscoe?" Rose answered reluctantly, "If anything wakes him in the night, or if he can't make these German beds over to suit him " "I see."
Then came a heavy footfall on the gallery without, and a dark form, erect and soldierly, stood between them and the dim lights of the guard-house. It was a corporal of the guard. "No. 4, sir, reports he heard shots two way up the valley." "Good God!" Wren began, then throttled the expletive half spoken. Could they have dared waylay the major and so close to the post?
I need not enlarge upon all he has done to merit the worst punishment it is in our power to bestow, if ever he should fall into our hands the worst I say, eh?" "Yes, him!" said a voice, with a very strong expletive. The approval of the crew was perfectly unanimous. In vain did Hunston look about him for one of those disaffected men of whom Joe Basalt had spoken.
As for the blows I struck you that is too bad, because you're old enough to be my father, but you displayed excessively bad taste in your choice of expletive. Even then I merely slapped you. But I'm sorry it had to come to that." He paused and gazed calmly about him for a moment. "I guess that's all" he added innocently. "Good morning."
Mrs Bulteel had been heard to say that she could not allow dear Lord Blandamer to be married without her being there. Canon Parkyn and Mrs Parkyn felt that their presence also was required ex-officio, and Clerk Janaway averred with some redundancies of expletive that he, too, "must see 'em turned off." He hadn't been to London for twenty year.
