But what Billy would have done in the presence of his betters remained stillborn in the mate's imagination in the face of what Billy really did do to his better as that worthy swung a sudden, vicious blow at the mucker's face. Billy Byrne had not been scrapping with third- and fourth-rate heavies, and sparring with real, live ones for nothing.
The batteries of these ships are obsolete, and they can only be relied upon as auxiliary ships in harbor defense, and then after such an expenditure upon them as might not be deemed justifiable. Second. Five fourth-rate vessels of small tonnage, only one of which was designed as a war vessel, and all of which are auxiliary merely. Third.
I am perhaps more struck now with the enormous amount of padding the number of third-rate, fourth-rate things that weary the eye desirous to approach freshly the twenty and thirty best.
To take a single instance of what I do know: once this spirit of mine, that now by the workings of destiny for a little while occupies the body of a fourth-rate auctioneer, and of the editor of a trade journal, dwelt in that of a Pharaoh of Egypt never mind which Pharoah.
But, compared with those high standards, Schubert, even at his best, is unmistakably felt to be second-rate, while his average always comparing it with the highest cannot truly be said to be more than fourth-rate.
They attack something like the War Office something, that is, which everybody attacks and nobody bothers to defend, something which is an old joke in fourth-rate comic papers. just as a man shows he has a weak voice by straining it to shout, so they show the hopelessly unsensational nature of their minds when they really try to be sensational.
Puteoli, or, as it is now called, Pozzuoli, a dull and stagnant fourth-rate town, was then the Liverpool of Italy, carrying on an immense trade in corn between Egypt and the western provinces of the Roman Empire. It rivalled Delos in magnificence, and was called the Little Rome. It had a splendid forum and harbour, and was guarded by fortifications which resisted the repeated attacks of Hannibal.
Newspaper reading always gives the worst and dirtiest side of everything it wouldn't be newspaper stuff if it was clean. Newspapers remind me of the rotting heaps in gardens all the rubbish piled together till the smell becomes a nuisance then a good burning takes place of the whole collection and it makes a sort of fourth-rate manure." He paused a moment then went on
Having made up his mind how to proceed, Cook went to a rendezvous at Wapping and volunteered into H.M.S. Eagle, a fourth-rate, 60-gun ship, with a complement of 400 men and 56 marines, at that time moored in Portsmouth Harbour.
The party of the second part was one Hinckley, a young highbrow who knew so much that it took the college faculty a long time to discover that he was worth more'n an assistant bartender and almost as much as a fourth-rate movie actor. Then, too, Myra's father had something lingerin' the matter with him, and wouldn't let anybody manage him but her. Hymen hobbled by both hind feet, as you might say.
