"Maybe it ain't so hard when you've got some get-up and go," Hannah retorted rather cruelly. It was thus characteristically and with unintentional sharpness she expressed her maternal pride by a reflection not only upon Edward, but Lise also. Janet had grown warm at the mention of Ditmar's name.
Temple teasingly, with a meaning look. Della flushed, and made an excuse to leave the room a moment later. "I wish, George, that you wouldn't tease her about Frank," said Mrs. Temple. "She's such a child." "Yes," said Mr. Temple, thoughtfully. "I suppose so. But," he added, "I'm glad she likes Frank." "Great Scott, Jack, how different you look. What a peach of a get-up."
"'It's the Barkwurst gang, says one. "'It's old Bark himself, says another. 'Look at them lace curtains. And he points to Jonadab's whiskers. "'This one's Jacobs in disguise, sings out somebody else. 'You can tell him by the Rube get-up. Haw! haw! "'Soak 'em! Do 'em up! Don't let 'em out! hollers a ha'f dozen more. "Jonadab was game; I'll say that for him.
His rough clothes and muddy boots looked strangely in contrast to the immaculate get-up of the Comte's guests, but of this he hardly seemed to be aware. His face was flushed; with his right hand he clutched a small riding cane, and his glowering dark eyes swept a rapid glance over every one in the room.
The Rector and his party elbowed their way through the crowd pressing around the boat.

The whole family offered a spectacle of gay and showy magnificence.
The boy wanted to say something to comfort Sally, but he had to tell the truth. "I don't know, I " He stopped to listen. Few travelers passed by their cabin in the winter, but he was sure that he heard a faint noise in the distance. It sounded like the creak of wheels. The noise came again this time much closer. A man's voice was shouting: "Get-up! Get-up!" "Maybe it's Pappy!"
And after that there wouldn't be any more Prince, sonnie. You stick to your job and I'll stick to mine. You're a mighty good Prince for all that's required of you. You're ornamental, and you've got get-up in you. You just keep right on being a good boy, and don't start trying stunts off your own beat, and you'll do fine.

And then came a dreadfully solemn morning, when we went to Westminster and championed Miss Blake. Never in our memory of the lady had she appeared to such advantage as when we met her in Edward the Confessor's Hall. She looked a little paler than usual, and we felt her general get-up was a credit to our establishment.
But during the time which intervened before Merriton's arrival, Cleek did a little "altering" in face and general get-up, and when he did appear certainly no one would have recognized the aristocratic looking individual of a moment or two before, in an ordinary-appearing, stoop-shouldered, rather racy-looking tout.
