That won't be no time for you to go courtin' her. It ain't that you ain't good enough for any girl. But now'days things is different. You got to have money." "Do you think Louise would take the money?" asked Collie. "I don't know. But that ain't it. We either give it up or we don't. What do you say?" "Why to tell Louise, of course. I meant that right along. You ought to know that."
Calliope would be one to bring the word 'dead' right out, too, an' let the room ring with it though that ain't the custom in society. Now'days they lie everybody 'way into the grave, givin' 'em to understand that their recovery is certain, till there must be a lots o' dumfounded dead, shot into the next world you might say unbeknownst. But Calliope wasn't mincin' matters.
McAlpin was for moderation and better feeling: "Well," he admitted gravely, "full as quick, I guess." "It seems to me," observed Kate, still resentful, "as if men here are pretty quick yet."

The landlady protested that "no man by the name o' Thack'ry has had rooms here since I rented the place; leastwise, if he has been here he called hisself by sumpthink else, which was like o'nuff the case, as most ev'rybody is crooked now'days but surely no decent person can blame me for that!" I assured her that she was in no wise to blame.
"Gott in Himmel, I tell you how things is done now'days between young people. I should let him ask her yet, she says, like I had put on his mouth a muzzle." "It's no use letting him ask me, ma dear, if I can't come across like I know the girl he can marry has got to. Let me let him ask me to-night, ma. And to-morrow at New-Year's dinner with all the family here, we'll break it to 'em, ma.
Meyerburg, it's style now'days that you shouldn't know your own language." "Come by grandma to-morrow, Aileen, and upstairs I got in the little box sweet cakes like grandma always keeps for you. Eh, baby?" "Say thank you, grandmother." "Merci bien, grand'maman." And they were off into the stream again, the small white leggings at a smart trot.

But whenever I was in the big camps I'd always go look into the bake-shop windows and just gloat. 'rubber' they call it now'days. My! but they would be beautiful.
Winona held up a gloved hand to engage the driver's eye. Then she winked. "Say," said Spike, "this is some car! When I get into one now'days I like to hear it go. I been in some lately you could hardly tell you moved." The front of the house was vacant when the Can laboured to the gate, though the curtain of a second-floor front might have been seen to move.
But, Tom, you're pretty well grown up now; you're almost a man; I s'pose the fellers in town think you are a man, don't they? An' you think you're one yourself too, don't you?"
