She seemed to care no more for eating and drinking out of crystal and silver than from a service of earthen vessels. Her head was, in truth, full of something else; and that such was the case was only too obvious to the Duke, her husband. At first he would only taunt her for her folly in thinking of that milk-and-water parson; but as time went on his charges took a more positive shape.
Of course Mike told them I was a milk-and-water boy. I could not stand it to be laughed at, so I put the glass of beer to my lips, swallowed it, and never made a face about it. Then the fellows said, "You're all right! You are initiated now and you're a man!" I didn't feel very much like a man. I felt as though I was some fellow without a single spark of manhood in my whole make-up.
Lady Carmian, a handsome young married woman, only smiled languidly, and, turning the bracelet on her arm, told Charles he was a cynic, and that for her own part, when in robust health, she liked what little she read "strong;" but in illness, or when Lord Carmian had been unusually trying, she always fell back on a milk-and-water diet.

"You deserve it for your milk-and-water love-me-a-little-to-morrow. Had it been the old Paris days the Madonna lily would have said 'Come! to Francois Villon in less than a week." "Paris flowers do not grow in Amboise garden," answered La Mothe, and added "Thank God!" in his heart. Commines was standing at the entrance to an arch of roses which, pergola fashion, covered a sunny walk.

We can't do anything if my lady is going to camp on our trail and tell everybody we're shady customers, can we? The question now before the board is: Where now, and how?" "Amsterdam," Mulready chimed in.
In it she said she was so glad she didn't have to go to a common high school and that the girls in her school were not milk-and-water babies, but had a great deal of spirit and daring." Marjorie's lip curled unconsciously. "I'd rather be a 'milk-and-water baby' than as cruel and heartless as she. I'll never forgive her for the way she treated Connie. Let's not talk of her, Irma.
Before he could reply, Lucindy entered, bearing a salver on which was a glass of milk and a pitcher of water. Constance gave him her hand in gentle dismissal. "Go to bed, Wolf," she said, mischievously, "and dream of of platonics, as befits your rugged constitution. Personally, I am not equal to more than the inspirations of milk-and-water as yet!"
The ordinary child does not need Oft-repeated doses; a firm hand and a vigorous application go a long way, in most cases. Half-hearted, milk-and-water castigation, like physic, should be thrown to the dogs. Long threatenings spoil the operation; they betray weakness which the child is the first to discover.
I warn my "kyind friends," then, that I am going to tell a story of harrowing villainy and complicated but, as I trust, intensely interesting crime. My rascals are no milk-and-water rascals, I promise you. When we come to the proper places we won't spare fine language No, no! But when we are going over the quiet country we must perforce be calm.
