It's a place for being quite independent of neighbours, free as air. 'Oh! bravo! 'And Fredi will have her horse, and mama her pony-carriage; and Fredi can have a swim every Summer morning. 'A swim? Her note was dubious. 'A river? 'A good long stretch fairish, fairish. Bit of a lake; bathing-shed; the Naiad's bower: pretty water to see. 'Ah. And has the house a name? 'Lakelands.
The morning after that, again, he seemed so well that I left him with a fairish conscience on my return journey for England. I want to tell you about that anxious night. He gave himself away then. I don't think he remembered much of what he had said next morning. It seemed sad to me his self-revelation. He said he did not know what in the world to do, he felt so ill and anxious.
I went and helped Aileen to milk her cows, nine or ten of them there were, a fairish morning's work for one girl; mothering the calves, bailing up, leg-roping, and all the rest of it. We could milk well, all three of us, and mother too, when she was younger. Women are used to cattle in Ireland, and England too. The men don't milk there, I hear tell. That wouldn't work here.
"Why, to tell the truth," said Miss Baker, laughing, "she is doing duty at this moment as head butler in the dining-room. If you feel any vocation that way, you may go and help her." "Well, I am a fairish good hand at drawing a cork," said Bertram, as he left the room. "So the lovers' privileges are all arranged for," thought Harcourt to himself.
"I'm sorry if there's bin any mistäake. After all, I äun't got the beasts yet thirty shillings a head is the price he asked and I paid. I call it a fair price, seeing the time of year and the state of the meat market But if your looker's bin presuming and you äun't pleased, then I wöan't call it a deal." "I'm pleased enough to sell you my beasts, and thirty shillings is a fairish price.

Thus: he is a nice young fellow, well bred, no cringing courtier, accomplished, good at classics, fairish at mathematics, a scholar in French, German, Italian, with a shrewd knowledge of the different races, and with sound English sentiment too, and the capacity for writing good English, although in those views of his the ideas are unusual, therefore un-English, profoundly so.
'Company' is gratifying. For a month we have been a 'troupe' in the first-class end. Fairish. Bad to middling. Fifteen of us, and when we are not doing Hamlet and Ophelia we can please with the latest thing in rainbow chiffon done on mirrors with a thousand candle-power. Bradley and I will have to do most of the serious work. But I have improved oh, a lot. You wouldn't know my Lady Whippleton."
"Yes, sir," I said again, wondering what the wearing of hair might mean to this process of pushing him, and feeling rather absurdly glad that my own face is smoothly shaven. "You'll find Ruggles fairish enough after you've got used to his ways," put in the Honourable George.
The stocking's empty, now 'tis the pig must go, and I believe he'd be glad for to do the missus a turn; she were terrible good to him, were the missus, and fond, too. I dursn't tell her he was to go; she'd sooner starve than lose poor Dick's pig. Well, we'd best be movin'; 'tis a fairish step."
