Luckily Miss Talbot's dark doubts had vanished after one keen glance at Daubeney. He was eminently a safe friend for her future husband. Such a fat and hail-fellow-well-met individual could not possibly harbour guile. So she passed over without reference the extent of Daubeney's acquaintance concerning herself, implied by the use of her Christian name.
And at first he sings small, and is hail-fellow-well-met with Sheamus that's James of the Glens, my chieftain's agent. But by-and-by, that came to his ears that I have just told you; how the poor commons of Appin, the farmers and the crofters and the boumen, were wringing their very plaids to get a second rent, and send it over-seas for Ardshiel and his poor bairns.
Matt Peke was evidently hail-fellow-well-met with many of the loafers of the district, and his desultory talk, with its quaint leaning towards a kind of rustic philosophy intermingled with an assumption of profound scientific wisdom, appeared to exercise considerable fascination over those who had the patience and inclination to listen to it.
The exceedingly sarcastic and malevolent tongue of the Baroness Kotze, and the somewhat coarse flavor of the ever-ready jest and quip of her jovial, loud-voiced, hail-fellow-well-met mannered husband did not tend to render the couple very popular.
"Set you to play six-eight time an' 'tis beads right away." "A slice o' saffern-cake, crowder, to stay ye. Don't say no. Hi, Mary Jane!" "Thank 'ee, Farmer. A man might say you was in sperrits to-night, makin' so bold." "I be; I be." "Might a man ax wherefore, beyond the nat'ral hail-fellow-well-met of the season?" "You may, an' yet you mayn't," answered the host, passing on with the mug.
Only at their age one thinks of students as being all hail-fellow-well-met with each other " "Yes; it's hard to realise how conventional they are how very much worldlier than the world till one sees it as one does in Cambridge. They pique themselves on it. And Mr. Saintsbury" she was one of those women whom everything reminds of their husbands "says that it isn't a bad thing altogether.
This young man who would not drink champagne, or be hail-fellow-well-met, and who was in such deadly earnest, was a nuisance. "I tell you what I'll do," he said at last. "I'll have a few words with Sir Henry, and see you tomorrow at what time you like." "Certainly," Brooks answered, rising. "If you will allow me to make a suggestion, Mr.
There was Bobby Galleon, fat, good-natured, sleepy, intelligent in an odd bovine way. There was Craven, young, ardent, hail-fellow-well-met. There was Lawrence, burly back for the University in Rugby, unintelligent, kind and good-tempered unless he were drunk. There were others. They all sat in their glory, noisily happy. Somewhere in the distance on a raised dais were the Dons gravely pompous.
Gabriel never would take them, though he was hail-fellow-well-met with everybody, and was everybody's favorite, and it was known all round how he found out Faith, and that alone made him so popular, that I do believe, if he'd only taken out naturalization-papers, we'd have sent him to General Court.
If Walter had not been too noble to be merely patronised, and too reserved to be "hail-fellow-well-met" with every one, he would have fallen more easily and speedily into the position which he now slowly but honourably recovered. It need hardly be said that, in his school work, Walter struggled with all his might to give satisfaction to Mr Paton, and to spare him from all pain.
