He endeavored to stand, but could not. Johnny, hearing rapid and fluent swearing, came out. "Where'd they git yu?" he asked. "In th' off leg. Hurts like blazes. Did yu git him?" "Nope. I jest come fer another cig; got any left?" "Up above. Yore gall is shore apallin'. Help me in, yu two-laigged jackass." "Shore. We'll shore pay our 'tentions to that door.
Beware of the gilt edged footnote, or the art that depends upon it. A writer of ordinary imagination and fluent English can put an aureole about any work of art he desires and much reputation is secured on this wise. In the presentation of a subject through given pictorial elements, the critic will know whether the most has been made of the opportunity.
I seek a Christmas present for a lady," he continued, waxing more fluent as he struck into the speech he had prepared; "and certainly I owe you every excuse for thus disturbing you upon so small a matter. But the thing was neglected yesterday; I must produce my little compliment at dinner; and, as you very well know, a rich marriage is not a thing to be neglected."
He put his other arm round Tim's shoulder, partly to balance himself better against Judy's pushing, and partly because he realised the companionship of both children as very dear just then.

In fluent English and a forcible delivery he gave an address of a philosophical character on 'The Science of Religion, which has been printed in pamphlet form for a wider distribution. Religion, he maintained, is universal and it is one.
A visitor to a Glasgow working woman whose son was at the front was treated to a fluent harangue on the misdeeds of that "auld blackguard," the Kaiser. She ventured to suggest that we should love our enemies and pray for them. "Oh, but I pray for him, too." "What do you say?" "I say, 'Oh, Lord, deal wi' yon old blackguard, saften his heart, and damp his powther."
He was ambitious, ardent, and keen to attract attention, with an abundant fund of energy and a nervous, driving manner. He was, besides, good looking and fluent, and he quickly perceived the drift of Selma's intentions in regard to the hospital, and accommodated himself to them with enthusiasm.
He was brave, fluent in speech, popular with the leading men, and soon rose to the rank of head chief; and no doubt he stirred up his nation to assume an attitude hostile to the Americans. The Creeks, with M'Gillivray at their head, had also established a close alliance with the Spaniards, who held possession of Florida.
