Yet, while these shameful symbolic shapes passed across the ancient mirror of his Irish soul, his Frenchified intellect was quite alert, and was watching the odd priest as closely and incredulously as all the rest. Father Brown had turned round at last, and stood against the window, with his face in dense shadow; but even in that shadow they could see it was pale as ashes.
We will have Farmer Nicholas up again, and the singers, and " "The fashionable milkmaids. I thank you, let me be. The wenches are too loud for me. Your Nanny is enough. Nanny is a good child, and she shall come and visit me." Uncle Reuben would always call her "Nanny"; he said that "Annie" was too fine and Frenchified for us.
"I am different to you!" she continued, with Frenchified grammar; "I like things as new as ever I can have them!" "I like new things well enough, Chrissy you know I do! It is natural. The earth herself has new clothes once a year. It is but once a year, I grant!" "Often enough for an old granny like her!" "Look what a pretty cottage! down there, half-way to the burn! It's like an English cottage!
As I did not doubt that by this time the scandalous aspersions of Melinda were diffused all over the town, I resolved to collect my whole strength of assurance, to browbeat the efforts of her malice, and to publish her adventure with the frenchified barber by way of reprisal.
"Fontaine." "It's a varry Frenchified name. I should think he'd be glad to get rid o' it. Where is he now? At Hallam?" "He is in t' Holy Land somewhere." "Is he a parson?" "No, he's a planter; and a bit o' a lawyer, too." "Whativer does he want in t' Holy Land, then?" "He's wi' a Bishop." "Ay? Then he's pious?" "For sure; he's a Methodist." "That's not bad. Squire Gregory was a Methodist.
Instead of an easy-going bishop, and friendly fellows for brother clergymen, and parishioners that think everything that's good of you, how do you suppose you'll feel as an Englishman when you get into a dead Frenchified system, with everything going by rule and measure, and bound to believe just as you're told? It'll kill you, sir that's what will be the end of it.
The man was decidedly good-looking, in a Frenchified fashion, and was a sea dandy of the first water, as was evidenced by the massive gold earrings in his ears, the jewelled studs in the immaculate front of his shirt of pleated cambric, his nattily cut suit of white drill, and the diamond on the little finger of his right hand, the flash of which I caught as he raised his hand to shield his eyes from the dazzle of the sun when glancing at the barometer.
I don't want to learn Frenchified ways, nor to eat frogs and snails and all sorts of nastiness; still, it would be fun going to a place so different to England, and hearing no English spoken, and learning all their rum ways, and getting to jabber French." "It might be very useful to you in the army, Harry;" and then the doctor stopped suddenly. "The army!"
"Isn't it horrid work?" said Cecilia, who sat next me, in a whisper. "Oh no!" said I; "I rather like it." She shrugged her shoulders in what Hatty calls a Frenchified way. "Catch me at it!" she said. "You can come to the kitchen and catch me at it, if you like," said I, laughing. "But it is all as new to me as to you.
And the converse too often holds good that when all who should have smiled scowl upon a man, he turns out the abject thing they have predicted. Where Frenchified Fredericks sit upon German thrones, it should not surprise us to see a crop of Gottscheds arise as the best fruitage of the land.
