At last Miss Keith's refusal of him softened by a half-implied hope, sent him forth to his uncle at Rio, on the promise that if he did his utmost there, he should in three years be enabled to offer Miss Keith more than a competence.
And from that day he did his best to sow small seeds of scandal against her, scattering half-implied innuendoes, faint breathings of disparagement, coarse jests as to her "old maid" condition, and other mean and petty calumnies, which, however, were all so much wasted breath on his part, as the Weircombe villagers were as indifferent to his attempted mischief as Mary herself.
Imprimis A half-implied, but fully comprehended promise to marry a young lady, with whom, I confess, I only intend to journey this life as far as Baden. Secondly, a charge of swindling for such the imputation goes to at the Salon.

"I'm sorry to see brother so put out about this water work."

Music, more properly so called, the art which has gradually made its way from being a modest handmaiden of poetry to full rivalship, if not a half-implied superiority, was already a scientific pursuit in England; and though the Italian opera aroused a violent opposition, and Tweedledum and Tweedledee called forth the gibes of the wits, there existed a vigorous English school of learned musicians, and Handel and Haydn found an audience not incapable of appreciating their best works.
