I'm no egotist, look you; I've no prejudices; and Miss there has her bechamels and fallals according to her taste. Captain, try the volly-vong." We had plenty of champagne and old madeira with dinner, and great silver tankards of porter, which those might take who chose.
As you are getting on, Marjory, it will be nice for you to have a maid of your own to look after your fallals; but the question is, Do you like the girl well enough to have her about you? This is your home, and I don't want to insist upon anything that would be unpleasant to you."
Besides, should one of those spiteful little inventions succeed in getting near an ironclad without being seen and sunk, the torpedo nets of the ship would prevent the infernal machine, as these new- fashioned fallals were called in the old days, from exploding against her hull.
"I think Mollie's grandmother would be more pleased with a gift of that kind than with one of the useless little fallals that children give their grandparents on Christmas Day.

"I'll grant you that Mary Virginia's the biggest berry in the patch, at the height of a full season. But look at her getup!

They didn't want new frocks and fallals every week, like some folks I could name."

"Never mind dressing and fallals," he said; "this is a strange fellow that says he is hired for the job, and his orders are precise. Miss must take a bit of cake in her hand.
"It's a gravel-sifter," said a red-eye, who lived below the lime-quarry. It may have been a gravel-sifter. But there were a great many fallals and odds and ends which were not in the least like the sifter which they use for riddling sand.
Ask your wife if this is not so, Father Chupin." Undoubtedly the impetuous young man spoke at the peril of his life.
