Just give an eye to yonder band of 'prentice lads. I would not wish to see better limbs, and I'll warrant that no forest-bred lad can give harder thwacks with oaken cudgel than can these retailers of ribbons and fal-lals." "The rogues are hearty enough," assented Johnnie, "and their lungs are like bellows of leather.
If a pedlar comes along here with ribbons and fal-lals, and offers them to the girls at half the price at which they could buy them down at Poole, you can hardly expect them to take lofty ground, and charge the man with having smuggled them." "I do not think the young ladies are offenders that way," the officer said, "for I have never yet seen them in foreign gear of any sort.
"Well, my dear Grace, you were just not late," said the Squire, "I will forgive you." So they all went in to dinner amicably, and a very good dinner it was, although there was an entire absence of what the Squire called French fal-lals. English versus French cooking was a favourite dinner-table topic of his, and he expatiated on it this evening.
It's colors you'll want, Kitty, and rich materials, and spangles, and jewels, and beads, and all the other fal-lals. And father said to Aunt Bridget: "'Why then, now, Biddy, said he, 'you just get what's right for the child, for she hasn't a notion, and no more have I, what's worn in that foreign place England.
Here is his jar of tobacco, and here is the kettle on the hob, and here is the bottle of whisky, and here are the slippers which I had prepared for you." "Little did I think, Valmai, it was you who had made everything look so cosy and sweet for me these flowers on the table and all those pretty fal-lals on my dressing-table.
And I didn't stare a bit, though I was longing to all the time. You do live in marble halls, Fuzzy, and no mistake! We could get the whole of our little crib into that one room, and we don't go in for any ornaments or fal-lals. A comfortable bed to sleep in, and lots of books that's all my old dad and I trouble about."
The farmer nodded assent, and he and Sibyl entered. When they were inside the room Sibyl uttered a faint sigh. The farmer took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead. "What a lot o' fal-lals, to be sure!" he said, looking round in a by no means appreciative manner. Sibyl and the farmer had to wait for some little time before Mrs. Haddo made her appearance.
I'll ring for your dinner to be brought up on a tray and we'll have a happy evening together. And you'd better have a fire here, Nell. It's a very pretty room, my dear, with all your pretty fal-lals, but it strikes me as being very chilly." He went downstairs and rang the bell for Miss Nelly's dinner. The fire had been stoked in his absence, and was now burning gloriously.
'And my grandfather farming his own land before you were picked out of the gutter, I'll be bound' God forgive me that I should say such a thing to an old man 'and my own aunt with a better lot of fal-lals and trumpery in her parlour than you've got in all your shop. With that he laughed, and I flounced out of the shop, my cheeks flaming and my heart going like an eight-day clock.
"To be sure I will," she said, "and with all the heart in the world." She tore a long strip from the local paper, which was lying on a chair near by, twisted it, lit it in the fire, and then applied it to a candle. "Only light one candle, for the love of heaven, child," said the Squire. "I don't want to see too many of the fal-lals. Now then, that's better; bring the light up to the bed.
