Not merely younger, but young the genuine article. A tree can do that, and does it every year, until after a hundred years, or three hundred, or a thousand, it dies. Why should not a man, or, much more importantly, a woman, do it? I think we are very much scanted in that respect." "My dear fellow, if you begin fault-finding with creation, there will be no end to it.
Everywhere festoons of red, white, and blue swung in the morning breeze, and flags flapped from improvised poles. Horses with ribbons braided into their manes and tails dashed about, carrying riders who were importantly arranging for the procession, and who wore broad sashes of tricolored bunting. The crowds added further to the brightness of the scene.
Grandma rustled away to meet her company, and Araminta opened the oven door importantly. She was seldom trusted to take the pies from the oven alone, and she felt very grown-up indeed to have Sunny Boy see her do it. She got the three pies out nicely, and the little saucer pie, too, and carried them into the pantry to cool. She set them on a shelf over the flour barrel.
Here, in company with gulls, turnstones, and other fowl of the foreshore, the rooks strut importantly up and down, digging their powerful bills deep in the ooze and occasionally bullying weaker neighbours out of their hard-earned spoils.
Blue figures ran busily about on her, and a white-and-blue person in a peaked cap stood importantly at the wheel. "She was on the mud last night," said Audrey eagerly, "opposite the Flank buoy, and she came up this morning at half-flood.

Trevor had said a few words to the Skipper before they started about taking care, to which he replied rather importantly, "Of course, Ma," and about keeping his fresh suit clean; but Mrs. Trevor said nothing to Dot, because, there was no need, for she was about the most prim, neat little creature that ever lived.
He decided therefore to proceed with caution, and to push out, three or four leagues in front of him, an advance party which could probe the country and, most importantly, take some prisoners, from whom he hoped to get some information; for the peasantry either knew nothing or would not talk.
"Gooder than mother?" "I don't know your mother, so how can I tell how good she is?" said Griselda. "I can tell you," said Phil, importantly. "She is just as good as as good as as good as good. That's what she is." "You mean she couldn't be better," said Griselda, smiling. "Yes, that'll do, if you like. Would that be good enough for us to be, do you think?"
"There isn't enough, maybe but 't will help!" "They're ten-dollar gold pieces, sir," spoke up Larson importantly; "an' there's a hundred an' six of them. That's jest one thousand an' sixty dollars, as I make it." Simeon Holly, self-controlled man that he was, almost leaped from his chair. "One thousand and sixty dollars!" he gasped. Then, to David: "Boy, in Heaven's name, who are you?"
They examined the horse together. The owner named thirty dollars as his price. Old Mizzou said this was cheap. It was not. Bennington agreed to take the animal on trial for a day or two, so they hitched a lariat around its neck and led it over to the wagon. After despatching a few errands they returned to camp. Bennington got out his ledger and journal and made entries importantly.
