Their speech roared, loud defiance to grammar's idle saws, their costumes were absurd remnants of an antique past; but a certain, rude, and homely dignity had transfigured them, and enveloped, too, this poor drama which, after all, goes very deep, down to the springs of life and love. There was a dirty and wicked abomination of a Fagin.
"Old Dut will know enough to be here," remarked one of the Central boys proudly. "Nothing but disaster could keep him from showing interest in our work." Cheering was started by a big group of North Grammar boys. A stage had just been sighted, and this bore the North Grammar's diamond champions.
"I told you a tree was a noun which is a very different thing." "If a tree's a noun, a noun's a tree or should be, and if 'tain't, then grammar's foolish and I don't want none of it " "That sentence is execrable grammar, Diana, because two negatives make a positive hence when you say 'you don't want none, it really means that you do want some " "I don't care!" she said in her sullen fashion.
The boys clustered round Brittle, looking over his shoulder, as he read the composition aloud for the benefit of those who could not elbow space to see. "It wouldn't be bad," said Huntley, critically, "if it were done into good grammar." "Into what?" roared Brittle. "The grammar's as good as you can produce any day, Huntley. Come!" "I'll correct it for you," said Huntley, coolly.
"Miss Shirley, the late Miss Jane Aydelot trusted Doc Carey to look after her affairs. Doc Carey, he trusted me to take his place.

She wears a nun's veil fastened under her chin, her hair fastened close, like Grammar's, showing her necessary monastic life; all states of mystic spiritual life involving retreat from much that is allowable in the material and practical world. There is no possibility of denying this fact, infinite as the evils are which have arisen from misuse of it.
Grammar's all very well when we're children, but it seems to me that what a grown-up girl has to do is to look out for a husband. How you can be satisfied with books' the infinite contempt she put into the word! 'is more than I can make out. 'But you will do what I ask, as a kindness? I am in earnest; I shall be afraid of seeing you if you can't help talking of such things.
He called yesterday, and when I mentioned your party, he said he was very sorry he had not the honour of your father's acquaintance as well as mine. The grammar's a bit wrong there, but you know what I mean.
Jest look at that letter. That tells it. Every word spelled correckly, and the grammar away up in G. Annabel's a mighty nice girl, and purty, too, but I've noticed she makes mistakes in spelling, and her grammar's the Wabash kind home-made."
"Well, what d'you want me to do about it? Stop it?" "I wish you could." "Now, don't get fussy." "I'm not." "Not get fussy?" "Not getting fussy." "That's better. If your grammar's all right the nerves must be in order." "You're stupid, John. I only want some one to support me on the step." "Need we stand there? Rupert's with him. Won't that do?"
