Darsie was nothing if not inaccurate, but in the bosom of one's own family romantic flights are not allowed to atone for discrepancies, and the elder sister was quick to correct. "Daniel didn't fight the lions! What's the use of being high falutin' and making similes that aren't correct?" "Dear Clemence, you are so literal!"
In political practice, therefore, they join in all coercive measures against the working class; and in ordinary life, despite their high falutin phrases, they stoop to pick up the golden apples dropped from the tree of industry, and to barter truth, love, and honour for traffic in wool, beetroot-sugar, and potato spirits.
Now rents are down one-half, and he could get as good a house for 100l a year, whereas he pays 200l In 1857 it was to use a vile Yankee phrase, the literal meaning of which no one can explain, but the illustrative meaning of which is inflation "High Felluting" or, as the Yankees write it, "Hi Falutin" now everything is sobered, and in many places depressed: only one house now being built in all this town of 40,000 inhabitants."
"I've an errand to do," she said without preamble, "an' I shan't be home till noon. You needn't go falutin' over to the Howes', neither, the minute my back is turned, as you did the last time I went off." Lucy smiled good-humoredly. "I'm goin' to see a lawyer," her aunt went on. "Lawyer Benton." No reply appearing necessary, Lucy did not speak. "Well!" piped Ellen, after waiting a moment.
'It is a thousand times worse to see another suffer than to suffer oneself. 'True love only desires the happiness of the beloved object. This kind of 'high falutin'' has become part of our regular mental habit, just as dead metaphors by the bushel are a part of our daily language.
She nodded encouragingly. "Go on," she said. "Tell me!" "Cheddar cheese," he said parenthetically, with an appreciative sniff. "Hav'n't seen a bit o' that for a long time! Well, then, up comes Mr. Oscard as cool as a cowcumber, and Mr. Meredith he gives a sort of little laugh and says, 'Open that gate. Quite quiet, yer know. No high falutin' and potry and that.
That will do, professor MacHugh cried from the window. I don't want to hear any more of the stuff. He ate off the crescent of water biscuit he had been nibbling and, hungered, made ready to nibble the biscuit in his other hand. High falutin stuff. Bladderbags. Ned Lambert is taking a day off I see. Rather upsets a man's day, a funeral does. He has influence they say.
"That's all very well, and like George Lee's high falutin'," said Stanner, approaching the table, "but as long ez the greenbacks are here he can make what capital he likes outer Manuel. I'll trouble you to pass over that package." "Excuse me," said Hale, "but I believe this is the package taken from Colonel Clinch. Is it not?" he added, appealing to the Colonel. "It is," said Clinch.
"Don't be too sure you know what I have to tell," said Foresta, laughing. "It is really something funny." "I am listening," said the young woman. "One night Bud went to church with me. You know our church is called the 'high falutin' church, and a good many of the poorer and plain people don't like to go there.
