It was more like a guard-room than a parlour. Clearly no woman reigned here. All was wood, or stone, or steel, clean as a ship, and as comfortless. Arms on the wall; iron-barred windows; no carpets, no curtains, no fal-lals. The only soft thing in the room was the bed in the corner, piled high with clothes; the only ornament a print above the chimney-piece.
The blinds were rattling, the curtains were being blown into the room, and the soft, wild sound of the sea fell on his ears. "Ah, I'm better now," he said; "my lungs are cleared at bit. You had best shut the window before your lady-mother comes in. And put the candle so that I can't see the fal-lals too much," he continued; "but place it so that I can gaze at your bonny face."
Go, or the saddle will be wet before you ride off." "Then I'm to tell Hoogstraten to expect a letter." "No. Such things can't be written. Besides, it won't be necessary. Tell my father I won't stay with aunt, and want to go home. Good-bye, Nico. Your riding-boots and green cloth doublet are much more becoming than those silk fal-lals."
Let us rather talk of nightingales and roses, youthful eyes and smiles. 'Yes; and of French novels, and of feminine frills and fal-lals, Elena went on. 'Fal-lals, too, of course, rejoined Shubin, 'if they're pretty. 'Of course. But suppose we don't want to talk of frills?

Patty had coached him on many minor points, for Little Billee had been brought up in simple surroundings and unaccustomed to what he at first called Patty's frills and fal-lals.
If the wicks are as badly trimmed as they were three Sundays ago, I shall be tempted to copy the procedure of the House of Commons, and name a member." Then he smiled. "Yes, I shall name a certain young sister who must have turned clumsy-fingered because she was thinking of her fal-lals and her chignon, or her new hat, when she ought to have been thinking of her duty to our lamps."
She is a lady of quality now, aged no less than sixteen; and is come up to renew her fal-lals for her cousin's arrival; for you must come down with us to Hare Street when your business is done." I cannot say that even after all this heartiness, I thought very much of my Cousin Tom.
But these Ashantee women were not worth garroting. Their fal-lals, precious to them, are worthless to us; the entire loot fetched only £11,000 of which sum the man who brought home the trinkets took a little more than four halves.
It was his wife's duty to see that he had something plain to eat, with none of them sauces and fal-lals, instead of playing the fine lady and making troubles out of nothing. I've no patience with her!" "Still, he do look as if he'd a temper," persisted Mr. Bateson. "And if he do, Caleb, what of that? If a man in his own house hasn't the right to show a bit of temper, I should like to know who has?
The school-mistress employed a dressmaker to whom the child took a fancy; she insisted on taking me to see her, and to choose some fal-lals." He stopped again, his mouth twitched, his fingers played with his watch-chain. "When the young woman came into the room," he resumed, "I thought I should have dropped.
