Her wrist had been twisted and a little sprained." "My dear!" "Her face Grubby! And she had been crying." "But, my dear, what had happened to her? You don't mean ?" Husband and wife stared at one another aghast. Neither of them said the horrid word that flamed between them. "Merciful heaven!" said the bishop, and assumed an attitude of despair. "I didn't know she knew any of them.
"Not far short of it, by the time baggage and wagon have been weighed in, as well as the seven of us," said Rupert, and then he called out that Rumple was asleep. The first paragraph of the projected History of Sydney had been too much for the aspiring young author, who was snoring with his nose on the grubby little notebook.
"He knows as well as I do how wrong it is to swear." "Be quiet! Ever since Aunt Lora got hold of you, I say, you have become a sort of gramophone, spouting her opinions."

Jan said nothing.
The little girl, with that wistful confidence that all French children show for men in khaki, slipped her grubby little paw into my hand. I expect Joan was often grubby like that. Brown winter leaves strewed the path. The grass was bleached and dead. At our approach an old sheep-dog rattled his chain and looked out of his kennel. He was shaggy and matted with years.
Froissart was genuinely surprised. "What do you say, not for a gentleman? Am I not a gentleman, I, who speak, a Froissart, a Count of l'ancien régime, a Royalist almost? I offer you a task which combines business and pleasure in the most delicious of proportions. And you call my offer mean and grubby, méprisable et crotté! I do not ask you to consort with those of the demi-monde.
