She believed to her last day in old-fashioned remedies like rhubarb leaf, and made sounds of contempt over all this new-fangled talk about germs, and so on. It was a lesson in propriety to see her escorting the children to school, walking sedately by their side when they were well behaved, and butting them back into line if they strayed.
I remember, they said she was called the Ca Ira; and I always supposed that it was the name of some old Greek or Roman or, perhaps, of one of their new-fangled republican saints." "They! D n 'em, they've got no saints to name, my good fellow, since they cashiered all the old ones!
Even in modern days the new-fangled Jewish minister of the fashionable suburb, rigged out, like the Christian clergyman, has been mistaken for such a Meshumad, and pelted with gratuitous vegetables and eleemosynary eggs. The Lane was always the great market-place, and every insalubrious street and alley abutting on it was covered with the overflowings of its commerce and its mud.
June had wanted him to go away; she would not go herself, because Bosinney was in London. But where was he to go by himself? He could not go abroad alone; the sea upset his liver; he hated hotels. Roger went to a hydropathic he was not going to begin that at his time of life, those new-fangled places we're all humbug!
And she would spend hours in counting the electric bulbs, which she insisted were only devices for some new-fangled gas. "Thirty-three in this one room alone," she would say. "I'd like to see your dear husband's face when he gets his gas bill. And a dressmaker that lives in the house.... Well, I don't want to say anything." Thus three years had gone by. The new household settled to a regime.
"It come purty nigh keeping me from marrying Doc. You see, Doc ain't like common folks. Don's got sich broad ideas of things. Lib'ral, he calls it, but I name it jist common foolish. He's got to give every new-fangled scheme a show. I guess, off and on, Doc's believed most every queer name in the dictionary, and some that ain't been put in yet.
And makin' a lot of grafters out of our poor class. Look at this Labor Commissioner and his new-fangled nonsense. Nagging me to spend Lord knows how many thousands, making the plant pretty and attractive for the hands. Voted for the fellow, too." "I never heard of such a thing. What sort of things does he want you to do, papa?" "Turkish baths and manicures and chicken sandwiches, I guess.
I'm hearin' aboot new-fangled folk that they ca' 'temperance advocates, Maister Ralph, but for my pairt gie me a lang-shankit besom, an' a guid-wife's wullin airm!" These are all the opinions of Saunders Mowdiewort about besom- shanks. Saunders took Ralph's letter to Craig Ronald with him earlier that night than usual, as Ralph had desired him.
Certainly not in the lectures of her teachers, humorless and unvisioned grinds, who droned that by divine edict letters must end with a "yours truly" one space to the left of the middle of the page; who sniffed at card-ledgers as new-fangled nonsense, and, at their most inspired, croaked out such platitudes as: "Look out for the pennies and the pounds will look out for themselves," or "The man who fails is the man who watches the clock."
Let us hope it won't get into the local papers. Oh, goodness! She is going to enlarge on new-fangled diseases. Well, it gives us a moment's breathing space.... I say, Miss Champion, I was chaffing this afternoon about sharps and flats. I can play that accompaniment for you if you like. No? Well, just as you think best.
