If you will drink less gin, you may get more meat. If you abstain from the ale-house, you may, many of you, get a little one-way beer at home." "Ay, that we can, farmer," said poor Tom, the thatcher, who was now got well. "Easter Monday for that I say no more. A word to the wise."
Tokens that now are dusty and in their night, understood only by the few who also belong to the past. There is the houseflag of the Cutty Sark, and her sister ships the Dharwar, Blackadder, Coldstream but one must be careful, and refuse to allow these names to carry one-way. There are so many of them. They are all good. Each can conjure up a picture and a memory.
You look over his head, there aren't any other customers in line behind him so you don't mind passing the time of day. "Round-trip or one-way?" "One-way," comes the quick reply. This brings you to a slow stop. He does not giggle nor prattle, nor launch into a long and involved explanation with halting, dependent clauses. This one knows what he wants and how to ask for it. Quite a little man!
She kept looking for the cracks within the dirt but it was to no avail. Since she did not know many words, she didn't have any critical judgments and, inept at linking words together, she was not thrust on that one-way track of probable outcomes for the future.
Roger Thane had, of course, heard of these meetings. The stories of his acquaintances in Liaison had been graphic enough but they didn't begin to do the scene justice. It was, well, jarring.

He then went to a ticket office and purchased a one-way ticket, uncertain where his actions would take him once he saw Suzanne.
But He's there, right up above us, and for every poor mean atom we call 'man' He's set out a trail to walk on. It's called the One-way Trail. And the One-way Trail is just the trail of Life. It's chock full of pitfalls and stumbling-blocks, that make us cuss like mad. But it's good for us to walk over it. There are no turnings or by-paths, and no turning back.
But after the Revolution the needs of an awakening empire led to the introduction of new types of craft, built to afford a maximum of capacity and safety on a downward voyage, without regard for the demands of a round trip. The most common of these one-way vessels was the flatboat. A flatboat trip down the great river was likely to be filled with excitement.
And only a brief hour ago he had been yearning to fight, with his back to the wall, against the suspicion and feeling against him in the village. He smiled with a shadow of bitterness and shook his head. Useless quite useless. The one-way trail was well marked for him, and he had traveled it as best he knew how. As Peter said, there were no side paths.
I can usually avoid trouble, but when I can't, I would like to retain the advantage of surprise." We all got into the jeep. Tom, not too graciously, offered to drop Bish wherever he was going.
