I don't believe in your new-fangled ways and new-fangled ideas in and out like a frog in a gallipot. It would never do for me. Birkin watched him with steady emotionless eyes. The radical antagnoism in the two men was rousing. 'Yes, but are my ways and ideas new-fangled? asked Birkin. 'Are they? Brangwen caught himself up. 'I'm not speaking of you in particular, he said.
The schoolroom was but a big, bare room no maps on the walls, none of the modern aids for instruction, save that the space between the two windows that looked out towards the meadow had been painted, to be used as a blackboard: "a useless, new-fangled notion" the rustics had called this forward step in the way of education. In front of the blackboard stood a wooden armchair for the teacher.
He asked nothing better for his own share of profit than a chance to show what he could do with it on some of the smooth fields of Ythan. If he had been aware of Mr Fleming's distaste for all things untried, or "new-fangled," it is likely he would have carried his request elsewhere.
"Do much sody trade, Sam?" He paused, passing his worn old fingers reflectively across a chin snowy with a stubble of neglected beard. "No," he allowed thoughtfully, "not so much as we used to, now that Sothern and Lee've got this new-fangled notion of puttin' ice cream in a nickel glass of sody.

How absurd to keep the family ship, laden with all the weight of its time-honoured glory, sailing under the colours of his slip of a girl-wife alone! Often have I felt the lash of scorn. "A thief who had stolen a husband's love!" "A sham hidden in the shamelessness of her new-fangled finery!" The many-coloured garments of modern fashion with which my husband loved to adorn me roused jealous wrath.
For money to stand out and receive interest I don't like that. It has to suck the interest somewhere or other, and of course it's from the poor. Interest is blood-money, Andres and it's a new-fangled contrivance, too. When I was young we knew nothing about getting interest on our money."
She never grudged good things to any guest, and even her deadly enemy she could not send away empty. Theodor wore a so-called Figaro hat, which was then in fashion, and managed that the low door-way of the little cottage should knock it off his head, in order to be able to say, "Oh, these confounded new-fangled hats! but that's sure to happen when one is used to high door-ways.
