Macaulay called it "the very neatest, most commodious, and most appropriate rectory that I ever saw." In 1818 he writes to Lady Mary Bennet: "I am glad you liked what I said of Mrs. Fry. She is very unpopular with the clergy: examples of living, active virtue disturb our repose, and give birth to distressing comparisons; we long to burn her alive."
"Oh," she exclaimed, "that is wonderful!" "Yes, it is pretty well. We will now put him in his box. For the box I have to thank Mr. Farrow. He is one of the neatest hands at that kind of work I know, although it is not exactly his trade. I never was much of a joiner." Miriam was a little surprised. She knew that her husband was clever with his tools, but she had never set any value on his labours.
It was one of the neatest feats I ever saw performed, and, under the circumstances, I would have pronounced it impossible had it not been done before my own eyes. Both the hats of the Boston youths were floating down the river, and they were so close to the water's edge that they were covered with mud.
Whether Hester had formerly indulged a little pride of heart, and talked of this gown rather too much, I am not quite sure; certain it is, there was a great hue and cry made at seeing Hester Wilmot, the neatest girl, the most industrious girl in the school, come to the May-day feast in an old stuff gown, when every other girl was so creditably dressed.
This veteran duke would with painful slowness write down in the neatest hand the names of the villages in which the various regiments were to be quartered, notwithstanding which, it sometimes happened that, owing to his topographical ignorance, several regiments belonging to different corps d'armee were billeted in the same village and had to dispute its possession.
The judge had scarcely finished speaking when Burr himself, just from Lexington, entered the court-house. He made the neatest speech ever I heard perfectly calm and dignified and he asked for a full and free investigation the sooner the better, he said now, if possible. You heard that speech, Jim, didn't you?"
That was not the way he put the question, but whether she would take seriously to this schoolmaster, and if she did, what would be the neatest and surest and quickest way of putting a stop to all that nonsense. All this, however, he could think over more safely in his own quarters.
The figures were clumsy, but they were her neatest. They were something like this 22/6. She looked up at her cousin with shamed eyes and rosy cheeks as she held out the eggs. "That will do," said Miss Charlotte kindly. "You will soon be able to make tiny figures."
He took my dreadful exhibition of receipts, he put on his glasses, he took his pen, and presto! I was a pauper! It was the neatest thing that ever was.
Upstairs the simply furnished bedrooms looked equally attractive and spotlessly clean, and then last of all came the cheerful, cosy little kitchen, looking a perfect picture, with its bright tin and copper and china reflecting the firelight on all sides; and where, oh crowning delight, sat the neatest of neat little maid-servants, her rosy cheeks growing rosier and rosier as her new master and mistress and all the young ladies trooped in.
