"You led your father to believe it was only one thousand, then?" "I did, Bev; you see money seems to make him so infernally Roman, and I've been going the pace a bit these last six months. There's another thousand to Jerningham, but he can wait, then there's six hundred to my tailor, deuce take him!" "Six hundred!" exclaimed Barnabas, aghast. "Though I won't swear it isn't seven."
"I believe you hate it as I do, hate and loathe it with all your soul. But I've always felt that you think for yourself, and don't care a rap what the world is thinking. I've looked in to-night to say good-bye, and to ask you, if you can get the time, just to give an eye to to Mrs. Chepstow now and again.

He and his wife would have to go and live at the Dower House of course. No feminine truck at the Abbey for him! But the lad should continue to manage the estate with him. That would bring them in contact every day. He couldn't do without that much. The evenings would be lonely enough. He pictured the long silent dinners with a weary frown. How infernally lonely the Abbey could be!
You are not going to bait me for your amusement. I am not your wife." And Ballantyne after a vain effort to stare Thresk down changed to a more cordial tone. "Well, you say it's a valuable thing to have just now. I say it's an infernally dangerous thing.

"He was goin' strong then about seven feet high and four feet through." "Adequate chap. Infernally adequate," said Tertius, pulling his mustache and staring into the fire. "Got dam' near court-martialed and broke in Egypt in '84," the Infant volunteered.
I'm so infernally weary of hearing about the cut-glass slipper heels of some chorus girl and so hungry to hear about a shipwreck, a new creed, a daring crime that " "You foolish, funny boy," she said, taking pity on his involved analysis, "don't you see what you have done?

And I am half pledged to condone his adventure at Tavora. There's nothing for it, O'Moy. As your friend, I am infernally angry with you for placing yourself in this position; as your commanding officer I can only order you under arrest and convene a court-martial to deal with you." Sir Terence bowed his head. He was a little surprised by all this heat. "I never expected anything else," he said.

"I think you have said enough!" returned Vaniman, grimly. "What have you to say?" "I didn't take that money from the Egypt Trust Company. I don't know where it is. I never knew where it went. And I'm getting infernally sick of having it everlastingly thrown up at me." "I thought I had you sized up better but I see I was wrong," admitted Wagg. "Of course you're wrong!
