"You'll never make any one believe you were ever a real, honest-to-God sheriff.

Go back down there to your horse and wait till some of that importance evaporates!"
And though Fleur, those chilly summer days, pursued the scattered life of a little Forsyte whose frocks are paid for, and whose business is pleasure, she was as Winifred would have said in the latest fashion of speech 'honest-to-God' indifferent to it all. She wished and wished for the moon, which sailed in cold skies above the river or the Green Park when she went to Town.
He might even go on to Philadelphia with her and look up some of the relatives he had lately been avoiding. Where in thunder had his thoughts taken him again? He put his head in his hands. He had carried her around his whole schedule with him just as if this were some honest-to-God marriage. He had done this while she lay in the next room peacefully sleeping in perfect trust.
Without giving any details away, he assured me impressively that it was "an honest-to-God engine" and that his planes were equipped with "an honest-to-God machine-gun," and that he looked forward with cheery anticipation to the first encounter his chaps would have with "the festive Hun."

You give me an hour to-morrow, Jingle Bells, and I'll do all the credential stuff your little heart desires.
"Dal, you were too good for this earth then, let alone these days," said Margaret. "Miss Hill," mused Elinor, gazing at the caricature. "That's not a bad drawing. I remember Miss Hill never had any use for me. Small wonder. She was an honest-to-God teacher. I think she wanted us to be good.... Wonder how she got along with the kids that came after us."
He's all right for an ordinary bellyache or holding some fool woman's hand, but I wouldn't call him in for an honest-to-God illness, not much I wouldn't, NO-sir! You know I don't do much back-biting, but same time I'll tell you, Carrrie: I've never got over being sore at Westlake for the way he treated Mrs. Jonderquist.
Hamilton sprang with what little strength there was in him. "Damn you, Covington what do you think?" he choked. Monte caught the man by the arms and forced him again into his chair. "Steady," he warned. Exhausted by his exertion, Hamilton sat there panting for breath, his eyes burning into Covington's. "What I meant," said Monte, "was, do you love her with with an honest-to-God love?"
There was a glitter of metal and vita-crystal dwellings that stood four-square to the sun and the winds. A broad ribbon-conveyor hurled its shining length in ceaseless rush down the narrow valley. Human beings normal homely Earth men with the ordinary number of legs and arms, with honest-to-God faces and warm living flesh, were seated on the conveyor-benches as they flashed by.
"But our poet laureate to-day is Walt Mason ... and our State philosopher, the sage of Potato Hill, Ed Howe, is an honest-to-God stand-patter ... that's Kansas to-day for you, in spite of her wide, scenic vistas.... "Nevertheless," I went on, "Kansas does develop marvellous people ... we have Carrie Nation " "And Johnnie Gregory!" put in Baxter. "I don't want just to belong to Kansas."
