We have decided to drop them altogether, and just to take it for granted that, in the words of the song, we're here because we're here." "All right," replied Cargan, evidently relieved. "That suits me. I'm tired explaining, anyhow. There's a bunch of reformers rose up lately in Reuton maybe you've heard about 'em. A lovely bunch. A white necktie and a half-portion of brains apiece.
"I never expected to hear that my nephew Bailey did anything so sensible as to take regular exercise. He does not look as if he did." "He certainly is a kind o' half-portion, ma'am. But say, if he's your nephew, Miss Ruth's your niece." "Perfectly correct." "Then you know all about this business?" "Which business, Mr. Dingle?" "Why, Kirk and Miss Ruth." Mrs. Porter raised her eyebrows.
She might not be able to get Sir Lancelot or Sir Galahad; but she was not going to be satisfied with a half-portion. The fact was that Sir Agravaine had fallen in love at first sight. The moment he had caught a glimpse of the damsel Yvonne, he loved her devotedly. To others she seemed plain and unattractive. To him she was a Queen of Beauty.
Take advantage of your half-portion arm and abuse me," the brakeman retorted bitterly. "Are you looking for that little old man with the Henry Clay collar and the white mutton-chop whiskers?" "I certainly am." "Well, he was looking for you just before we left San Francisco. He asked me if I had seen a one-armed man with a box under his good arm. I'll lead you to him."

She didn't know who was running for President or what Miss Pankhurst said about Suffrage, but she had large belladonna Orbs, with Danger lurking in their limpid depths.
Uncle Donald acting as cheer-leader. I said feebly that I had met you and had found you part human, and there was an awful silence till they all started at the same time to show me where I was wrong, and how cruelly my girlish inexperience had deceived me. A young and innocent half-portion like me, it appears, is absolutely incapable of suspecting the true infamy of the dregs of society.
The Bird shook himself after being deposited beside the half-portion of his family, puffed himself up, sank his long neck into his shoulders, and evidently went to sleep. I shivered up close to him and looked over my shoulder into the blackness behind the teeth and then didn't look again until I heard the soft pad of the weird leather shoes behind me.

"No wonder you aren't rollicking. How did it happen?" "That half-portion Bill Taft came joshing me about my beezer till it got something fierce," explained Jerry.
He's one of these half-portion Willie-boys with Chippendale legs, but he throws out a line of talk that would make you wonder if it's safe to let him run around loose. Says his mind's made up; he's going to thrash a gink within an inch of his life; going to muss up his features so bad he'll have to have 'em replanted. "'Why? I says. 'Never you mind, says he. 'Well, who is he? I asks.
