I hate rooms full of fal-lals. You can keep your drawing-room for the time when I am out, Little-sing." Mrs.
He had shaken the hand of her husband and kept pain and disappointment out of his face, knowing well that he deceived no one. Thank heaven, there had been no church, no wedding-cake, invitations, congratulations, fal-lals of any kind he could never have stood them. Not even Rosamund who had influenza to put up with! Lying back in the recesses of that old chair, he stared into the fire.
Lovegrove described it, "no ceremony and fal-lals, but everything put down on the table so that you could see it and please yourself." Serena, however, was difficult to please. She picked daintily at the food on her plate. Her host observed her with solicitude. "Do take a little more," he said, in an anxious aside, Mrs. Lovegrove being safely engaged in conversation with Mr.
Hurry, Nora, for Heaven's sake! For the life of me, don't give me a cup of cold water to taste, and then dash it from my lips. If we are not quick, we'll be caught and prevented from going.

Another is handmaiden to Miss Bell at the post office, and knows the contents of all the letters, except Father Tiernay's, before the people they belong to. Fanny is at home with her father and mother, and is supposed to be too fond of fal-lals, pinchbeck brooches and cheap ribbons, which come to her from her sisters out in the world.
Old Joe growled under his breath at the "softness" of people who required "cocking up with fal-lals." But he ate the flap-jacks. After tea the "hands" divided the duties of the evening; taking it in turn, one to wash up, while the other "set" bread.
I encountered her in her coach on the Bath Road near Maidenhead Thicket my favourite trysting place with foolish dames who travel with their trinkets and fal-lals. At the sight of my barkers her ladyship screamed and fainted. This made things as easy as an old glove. Click! and the necklace was in my pocket and I was galloping back to Hounslow as if Old Nick himself was behind me."
Life is made up of naughts and crosses; and the folks that get the crosses are better off than those that get the naughts, though that husbands are crosses I can't pretend to deny; but I haven't patience with single women, I haven't they have nothing to occupy their minds, and so they get to talking about their health and such-like fal-lals."
