I have known Dort and the little 'drecht across the way for some fifteen years, five of which have slipped by since I last opened my umbrella along its quaint quays. To my great joy nothing has changed. The old potato boat still lies close to the quay, under the overhanging elms. The same dear old man and his equally dear old wife still make their home beneath its hipped roof.
"Anastasie," the Doctor said on the third morning, "take an example from your husband, from Jean-Marie! The excitement has done more for the boy than all my tonics, he takes his turn as sentry with positive gusto. As for me, you behold me. I have made friends with the Egyptians; and my Pharaoh is, I swear it, a most agreeable companion. You alone are hipped. About a house a few dresses?
Under his hat, set at an angle, his dark hair fluffed strangely. He was a splendid figure of a man, broad shouldered, slim hipped. Now he looked hard at the stranger and a slow grin lifted his upper lip. "What's this?" he said, and there was a light suspicion of thickness in his voice, "my wife got com-ny?"
It would seem that hypochondria was then spoken, as hypocrisy still is, with the correct and pleasant short vowels of the Greek prefix, not as now with a long alien diphthong haipo-.

I knew if he did not give it me I should be a little hipped, and should stand in need of support and consolation; while, if he did, I should be rather expansive, and should want suitably to celebrate the event. So I ordered a good dinner to be ready in either case" Poppy laughed gently.
He was to have got it from Sampson Levi, but he arrived too late owing to Jules. 'I know all about that perhaps more than you do. But I don't see how it affects you or me. 'The point is this, Dad, Nella continued. 'He's tried to commit suicide he's so hipped. Yes, real suicide. He took laudanum last night.
I felt horribly hipped. "But all these things tell me nothing," I said, with an attempt towards briskness. "I have to husband my voice." He closed his eyes. There is no saying that I did not believe him; I did, every word. I had simply been influenced by Rooks-by's suspicions. I had made an ass of myself over that business on board the Thames.
Apparently she tested the logic in her mind and came to the conclusion that it was sound. She got up, threw some wood on the fire, thrusting me back playfully when I tried to forestall her, and then said merrily, "What do you think dad said to-night?" "It would take hours to guess, I expect, so tell me at once, since I see it hipped you." "It did," she said, with playful emphasis.
I resolved not to tell him the real cause of the servant's apprehensions, knowing his disposition to magnify trifles and fearing he might send the police to investigate. He lived only five miles from Barton, a fact to which he now referred. "Hadn't heard of any tramps over my way," he said, frowning.

Captain Bellamy came up to pay his respects, or rather his compliments, to Miss Hauton: there was no respect in his manner, but the confidence of one who had been accustomed to be well received. "She has not been well fainted last night at a ball is hipped this morning; but we'll get her spirits up again when we have her at Cheltenham We shall be a famous dashing party!
