"Cannot one adorn Courts, at least French Courts, without if's?" "You can, if you choose to do so," replied he, looking at her admiringly; for her whole countenance flashed intense pleasure at his remark. "If I choose to do so? I do choose to do so! But who is to show me the way to the Court, Chevalier? It is a long and weary distance from New France."
Rogers, two kicks shall be delivered, one after the other, and I give you my word that at least one of the two shall be delivered by one of the twins alone, without the slightest assistance from his brother. Watch sharply, for you have got to render a decision without any if's and ands it."
In the hands of omnipresent Good, in the name of immaculate Truth, I leave you. "'So may this be established, yea, it is already established. I thank Thee, Father, that thou hast heard me. "This lesson, John, is very hard to report. I find so many questions suggested to my mind, and so many if's and but's. "Mrs.
In this opinion he also gives evidence, in their highest form, of his other notable qualities as a judicial stylist: his "tiger instinct for the jugular vein"; his rigorous pursuit of logical consequences; his power of stating a case, wherein he is rivaled only by Mansfield; his scorn of the qualifying "buys," "if's," and "though's"; the pith and balance of his phrasing, a reminiscence of his early days with Pope; the developing momentum of his argument; above all, his audacious use of the obiter dictum.
You're a-frightin' your Ma proper. Where are ye, then?" "She must be hiding," said Mother. "You must go on looking, Walter. You must go on looking till you find her." "Yes'm," said Walter. "If's she's in there us'll find her, soon or late." He ran off, and presently his voice was joined to Jenks's, calling Joan calling, calling, and getting no answer. Mother took Joyce's hand again.

There never was anything that wouldn't have been something else if something hadn't intervened to prevent it!

Now we played our matches over again, bitterly lamenting the 'if's' that had lost us the championships, and wildly approving the tackles that had saved, and the runs that had made the 'Varsity crowd go mad with delight and had won for us.

If He may have His way He'll pack listen quietly, with your heart He'll pack the whole of a Jesus inside you and me. Much in little! Most in least!
And even if for "if's" were cheap she did say yes, would it be fair of him to take her out of a comfortable home, away from friends such as they were! of her own sex, to land her in these crude surroundings, where he did not know a decent woman to bear her company?
