A clever and experienced person filling this important situation will soon teach the men to distinguish between the various notes of his call, though to unpractised ears the sounds might appear unvaried. "Shorten sail! that's easier said than done," growls forth some hard-up old cock.
The Empress, who had now returned from her fateful journey to the Crimea, was in daily consultation with the monk, it being their intention to obtain the appointment of some hard-up Minister who, by being well paid with German gold, would remain inert and keep his mouth closed regarding the world-plot in progress.
Considering all the frills of fiction that were put into the story to make it readable, the careless inaccuracies that were edited into it, and the fact that many persons knew of the preliminary attempts to buy any old bear and fake a capture, it is not strange that people who always know the "inside history" of everything that happens, wag their heads wisely and declare that Monarch was obtained from a bankrupt circus, or is an ex-dancer of the streets sold to the newspaper by a hard-up Italian.
So he was now Peter Jensen; and Peter Jensen, a hard-up Norwegian A.B., was promoted on paper to John Proctor, master. At Melbourne they found the barque ready for sea, and they were at once taken to the shipping office to meet the captain and sign articles, and Proctor's heart beat fiercely with a savage joy when he heard the voice of the man who had stolen Nell Levison from him!
I'm deuced hard-up regularly in Short's Gardens. I lost eighteen 'undred on the Derby, and seven on the Leger, the best part of my year's income, indeed; and I just want to hire two or three horses for the season, with the option of buying, if I like; and if you supply me well, I may be the means of bringing grist to your mill; you twig, eh?

Lorraine replied in a careless tone, suggesting there was no special interest attached to the giver, but, for some unknown reason, Hal chose to be inquisitive.

Surely Baby didn't think it at all out by himself, and actually go into a shop and buy them?" "You shouldn't call Mr.
I once heard a bushman say that no one but a skunk would be guilty of this tobacco trick that it is about the meanest trick a man could be capable of because it spoils the chances of the next hard-up swaggy who asks the victim for tobacco.
Dolly became immensely grave. "I thought," said she, "that we never mentioned them now, Mr. Carter." "Did we ever?" I asked innocently. "I seemed to remember once: do you recollect being in very low spirits one evening at Monte?" "I remember being in very low water more than one evening there." "Yes; you told me you were terribly hard-up."
He really did not care about living in such a mansion, and had purchased the property as a speculation, intending to sell it at a profit. But having fallen in with Mrs. Saxon, then a hard-up widow, she not only induced him to marry her, but, when married, she insisted that the house should be retained, so that she could dispense hospitality to a literary circle.
