Charles's face flushed, and he made a step forward, but Robert gruffly answered: "No more than civility; but he had got Frenchified manners, and liked to tease Archfield." "Did they ever come to high words before you?" "No. They knew better." "Thank you, Mr. Oakshott," said the prisoner, as it was intimated that Mr. Cowper had finished.
I showed a remarkable proficiency in dancing and could lift both my feet to the level of my eyebrows with disconcerting ease. Mrs. Wallace, the minister's wife, was shocked and said: "Look at Margot with her Frenchified airs!" I pondered often and long over this, the first remark about myself that I can ever remember. Some one said to me: "Does your hair curl naturally?"
VANCE "Nay; everybody said she was extremely improved that was the mischief she had improved herself out of my fancy. I had been faithful as wax to one settled impression, and when I saw a fine, full-formed, young Frenchified lady, quite at her ease, armed with eyeglass and bouquet and bustle, away went my dream of the slim blushing maiden.
This was evidently a case where the name of the host counted for more than the actual sign of the house, and the habit of speaking of Savage's Bell may easily have led to the perversion into Bell Savage, and thence to the Frenchified form mostly used to-day.
Africa will be a fair field for all religions, and the religion to which the negro will take will be the religion that best suits his needs. That religion, we are told by nearly everyone who has a right to speak upon such questions, is Islam, and its natural propagandist is the Arab.

"But 'tain't Gault doin's to put high-falutin', Frenchified, crocheted-rosette food before some folks what ain't used to it, and field-hand grub before them what's the airiest in town. Ain't nothin' like that ever been done in this house, what's been known for its feed for fifty years, and I don't believe your pa would like it, that I don't. But "
Having paid their bill at the lodging-house, their conduct was ascribed to systematic madness. English people came to Crikswich for the pure salt sea air, and they did not expect it to be cooked and dressed and decorated for them. If these things are done to nature, it is nature no longer that you have, but something Frenchified. Those French are for trimming Neptune's beard!
If she had been wearing a small hat she would have been Frenchified." But Mrs. Pettifer was not in a mood for argument. "Can't you see what it all means?" she cried in exasperation. "I can. I do," Mr. Hazlewood retorted and he smiled proudly upon his sister. "The boy's better nature is awakening." Margaret Pettifer lifted up her hands. "The boy!" she exclaimed. "He's thirty-four if he's a day."
I assure him that the Frenchified faction, more encouraged than others are warned by what has happened in France, look at him and his landed possessions as an object at once of curiosity and rapacity. He is made for them in every part of their double character. As robbers, to them he is a noble booty; as speculatists, he is a glorious subject for their experimental philosophy.
And it's only what you French gentry call a fashion de polly." "I am not French or only on my mother's side," replied the other gently. "Well, Frenchified then it's all the same, ain't it? all that bowin and scrapin and humbuggin business you know what I mean."
