"Neighbourly, certainly. I have no desire to be otherwise." "Why don't you answer me, then?" The red shading was becoming positive now, telltale. "Tell me why, please." "Answer?"
"This is not the first time, by a great many," he said, "that I have had to thank my parishioners for giving me tokens of their goodwill, but neighbourly kindness is among those things that are the more precious the older they get.
Man, woman, or child, you'd have every soul in the Islands to live neighbourly and go their ways in peace. No doubt 'tis good Gospel teaching, too, and well enough it worked till this rumping little tyrant came along and pushed you aside.

"Matter enough," responded the young giant, with a grin of mingled awe and delight; "the Jibbenainosay is up again!" "Whar?" cried the senior, eagerly, "not in our limits?"

An outrage of this nature I imagine could only happen in Lampong, where their vicinity to Java affords the culprits easier and surer means of escape, than in the central parts of the island; and here too their companies appear to be more mixed, collected from greater distances, and not composed, as with the Rejang people, of a neighbourly assemblage of the old men and women of a few contiguous villages with their sons and daughters, for the sake of convivial mirth, of celebrating a particular domestic event, and promoting attachments and courtship amongst the young people.

Well, well; it was a kind, confiding, neighbourly action, though I refused it decidedly, from the man whose alliance is forbidden to us.

You've always been as stuck up and abusive to me as you well could be. So 't is only natural I should n't stand up for you." The lord of Greenwood swallowed before he said, "Perhaps I've not been neighbourly, but what sort of revenge is it to force me from my home, and distress my wife and daughter?" "That's it," assented the Committeeman. "And so I came over to see what could be done.
