"I care not if I do," he said, "for my pledge extendeth not so far as this," and he poured himself out a tumbler of brandy and water, that warn't half-and-half, but almost the whole hog. Oh, gummy, what a horn! it was strong enough almost to throw an ox over a five-bar gate. It made his eyes twinkle, I tell you, and he sat down and began to look as if he thought the galls pretty.
I should ha' thought you'd seen enough of what sorrow comes o' fighting. Why, them lads o' t' Aurora as they say Kinraid shot down had fathers and mothers, maybe, a looking out for them to come home. 'I don't think he could ha' killed them, said Sylvia; 'he looked so gentle. But Molly did not like this half-and-half view of the case.
It is aware that such half-and-half measures interrupt the continuity of the system at the most decisive point. And therefore with the greatest determination it repeats along psychological lines the same kind of treatment that it has previously sought to apply to biological phenomena: the corporeal must form a sequence of phenomena complete in itself and not broken into from without.
By the icy chill at her heart at his innocent phrase, she knew how she dreaded discovery and clung to her social status. "What is a half-and-half place?" she asked smiling. "Oh, comic songs and tumblers and you can smoke." "No? You're not really allowed to smoke in a theatre?" "Yes, we are. They call it a music-hall it's great fun. But don't tell the mater."

Proposed to shoot our informant, so as to prevent his playing the double traitor and reporting our proceedings. Elliott demurred. If you are making war you should throw no chance away. I hate half-and-half measures. The Children of Israel seem to have been the only people who ever carried war to its logical conclusion except Cromwell in Ireland.
A steak at the Prince's Feathers in Conduit Street would have been very much more pleasant to him, and he would have preferred half-and-half in the pewter to brandy and soda-water; but he felt a pride in using his power in a fashion that would be disgraceful to his host. When he had done his steak he pulled his pipe out of his pocket, and smoked.
"A humour like yours with such a voice and such a face!" "The stage is full of better voices and better faces." "No, indeed. Why, there isn't a girl at the Half-and-Half " He stopped and almost blushed. She smiled. "Oh, I don't mind your going to such places. What is the Half-and-Half, a place where they drink beer?"
Aaron was probably trying to make an impossible compromise, and to find some salve for his conscience; but it does not follow that the people accepted the half-and-half suggestion. Leaders who try to control a movement which they disapprove, by seeming to accept it, play a dangerous game, and usually fail. But whether the people call the calf 'Jehovah' or 'Apis' matters very little.
'And I'll tell you what, said Mr Pyke; 'if you'll send round to the public-house for a pot of milk half-and-half, positively and actually I'll drink it. 'At twenty minutes before seven, then, said Mr Pyke, rising, 'the coach will be here. One more look one little look at that sweet face. Ah! here it is.
