Now I think this child will remain intact without a bandage, and, if I am willing to take the risk, why should you complain?" "Because," said she, "if the child should die, it would injure my name as a nurse. I therefore wash my hands of all these new-fangled notions." So she bandaged the child every morning, and I as regularly took it off.
"Oh, Ann's as clean as the veranda floor!" he explained. "This is just to cool her off. Let me show you doesn't that feel nice, Ann?" "Lovely!" blissfully. Mrs. Sykes sniffed. "I suppose that's some new-fangled notion? I never heard before of cooling people off when they've got a fever. In my time, the hotter you were, the hotter you were made to be, till you got cool naturally.
No, no! that mode of treatment may do very well for Naples, or Poland, or Spain; but the moment that a Croat or a Cossack shall encamp upon the Rhine or the Elbe, for the purpose of supporting the unadulterated tyranny of their new-fangled Grand Dukes, that moment Germany becomes a great and united nation.
This was Thaddeus Bailey. He owned three grocery stores in Jordantown, and had a monopoly on that trade. "I don't know how much money you have on deposit, Thad, but it will take more stock than you own to satisfy that mortgage you owe to this new-fangled female suffrage fund," answered his neighbour. "What'll we do with her if we elect her?" asked Acres.
Goodness of build without gaudiness, sanctity without sadness, and evenness of finish without new-fangled intricacy, pervade it. It is fit for either beggars or plutocrats. There is not a better, not a plainer, neater, nor more respectable looking church in the town. And there is not a cleaner.
In spite of these fine arguments, at the end of a week I felt an ailment which I was blasphemous enough to saddle on the universal dissolvent and the new-fangled diet. I stated my symptoms to my master, in the hope that he would relax the rigor of his regimen and qualify my meals with a little wine; but his hostility to that liquor was inflexible.
The General joked, and the Colonels and the Commissary and the doctors, down to the sutlers and teamsters and the salt tars under Porter, who cursed the dishwater Mississippi, and also a man named Eads, who had built the new-fangled iron boxes officially known as gunboats. The like of these had never before been seen in the waters under the earth.
To her new-fangled dress, frilly about the hips and tight below the knees, June took a sudden liking a charming colour, flax-blue. 'She makes a picture, thought June.
"Married?" The ship's doctor pointed to her hand which had a wedding-ring. "Ah, yes, certainly... what hope have you of her?" "I don't know what to say. The fever is high. She isn't trying to live; she's got some mental trouble, I believe. But you and I would be of no use in that kind of thing." "I don't take to new-fangled ideas of mental cure," said the ship's doctor.
This was one of them, and Ketch anticipated a glorious treat. "He ain't a bad sort, that Joe Jenkins," allowed he, conciliated beyond everything at the prospect the invitation held out, and talking to himself as he limped away towards the street. "He don't write a bad hand, neither! It's a plain un; not one o' them new-fangled scrawls that you can't read.
