You cannot be friends with a Japanese unless you are friends with his family; and you cannot be friends with his family unless you belong to it. This is the deadlock; and this is why we never get any forwarder." "Then I've got a chance since I've got a Japanese family." "I don't know of course," said Reggie; "but I shouldn't think they would have much use for you.
I keep my preaching for those who may benefit by it, such as the youngster here; but I say to him and to those like him, you keep out of saloons. If you don't do that, you will find yourself no forwarder when you are fifty than you are now, while there are plenty of openings all over the country for any bright young fellow who will keep away from liquor."
"The less by outward appearance," said he, "this people shall perceive that her Majesty can be contented to take the protection of them upon her, the forwarder they will be to seek and send unto her, and the larger conditions in treaty may be required.
"But I am so young; people object to any prominence on my part; I can only get myself heard anonymously, and when some attention has been drawn the name is sure to creep out. The writer is known to be young, and things are none the forwarder." "Well," said I, "youth seems the only drawback that is sure to diminish. You and I have seven years less of it than when we last met."
While this was doing, one of the three boats that was behind, being forwarder than the other two, made up to the boat which we had disabled, to relieve her, and we could afterwards see her take out the men: we called again to the foremost boat, and offered a truce to parley again, and to know what was her business with us; but had no answer: only she crowded close under our stern.
One writer upon book-binding terms the forwarder of the book an artizan, and the finisher an artist; but both should have the true artist's taste, in order to produce the work that shall commend itself by intrinsic excellence. The form and shape of the book depend wholly, indeed, on the forwarder.

Truffles and shellfish had been brought out, it was a jolly drinking match. And when things were now getting forwarder, we determined that each of us should toast whom he pleased, in unmixed wine, only he must name his toast.

In fact the more you can feel, the more you are made to feel; and what the mind is built to endure, that, seemingly, it will be called to endure." But Nelly had no patience with the philosophy of Mr. Roberts. "You're so windy when you've got anything on your chest," she said. "You keep talking and don't get any forwarder.
"Shall we say a hundred again?" he said. "As you like," Emerson replied. "We don't seem to get much forwarder either way at present." A considerable number of lookers on had now gathered round. So far Mark, although watching the fingers of the opposite player intently, had seen no sign whatever of unfair play. He now redoubled his attention. Cotter won the first game, his adversary the three next.
"It would be a very nice engagement for you, Bessie. I suppose there was not a girl here to-night who would not gladly take him." "I know that. I know that, mama. So does he Reggie." "He did not say so, I hope?" "No. Reggie does not always want exactly to say things." "But what did he say to you, dear? Is the matter any forwarder than it was the last time you spoke of it to me?"
