"To most of my chums I'm just `Neely. Life's too short for three syllables every day of the week!" "Over here in England we are not too hurried to address people in a proper manner. I shall call you by your full name, and expect you to do the same by me." "All right, Aunt Sophia Ann, just as you please," cried Cornelia, naughtily.
She was darkly, wildly pretty, as a rambler rose tugging at its stem is restlessly pretty, as a pointed little gazelle smelling up at the moon is whimsically pretty, as a runaway stream from off the flank of a river is naughtily pretty, and she wore a crisp percale shirt waist with a saucy bow at the collar, fifty-cent silk stockings, and already she had almond incarnadine nails with points to them.
Let us see, then, such men as have authority over the bishops, such men as receive from God commandments concerning religion, such as bring home again the Ark of God, make holy hymns, oversee the priests, build the Temple, make orations touching Divine service, cleanse the temples, destroy the hill altars, burn the idols' groves, teach the priests their duties, write them out precepts how they should live, kill the wicked prophets, displace the high priests, call together the councils of bishops, sit together with the bishops, instructing them what they ought to do, condemn and punish an heretical bishop, be made acquainted with matters of religion, which subscribe and give sentence; and do all these things, not by any other man's commission, but in their own name, and that both uprightly and godly: shall we say it pertaineth not to such men to have to do with religion? or shall we say a Christian magistrate, which dealeth amongst others in these matters, doth either naughtily, or presumptuously, or wickedly?

"How beastly cheap they'd all feel I've not forgotten the undulating and aspiring withered leaf if they knew how mightily they all fell short!" she added naughtily.

If nurse said, "Miss Penelope, you are not to move or you will wake baby," then nurse knew that Penelope would not stir.
But my spirit had rebelled against some of these hymns, especially against those written a mighty multitude by Horatius Bonar; naughtily refusing to read Bonar's 'I heard the voice of Jesus say' to my Mother in our Pimlico lodgings.
