"In age he might be three or four and twenty, tall and slender; an out-and-out aristocrat." "And his connections? Where did he live?" "I never knew. Afy, in her boasting way, would say he had come from Swainson, a ten mile ride." "From Swainson?" quickly interrupted Mr. Carlyle. "Could it be one of the Thorns of Swainson?" "None of the Thorns that I know.
Shaw will be going on his knees to have her back in a day or two; but I have a thought in my head that she may do better even than in the shop. There, you've comforted me, my boy you are a real out-and-out comfort to me, David." "I am glad of that," said the young fellow. "There's no one like you to me no one."
I have to deal with such a precious lot of rogues, in the City and out of it, among the swells and all, you know, that to see such a fellow refreshes me; and I'd do anything for him. You've made a good thing of that Pall Mall Gazette! I tried papers too; but mine didn't do. I don't know why. I tried a Tory one, moderate Liberal, and out-and-out uncompromising Radical.
Consider our recent Academy exhibitions and I prefer to take this stronghold of antiquated art and prejudices as a starting-point rather than the work of the out-and-out insurgents consider, I repeat, the Academy, and then try to recall, say, ten years ago and the pictures that then hung on the line.
He expected nothing but sneering pity, where such sentiments as his own could not be visited with a severer penalty. But he did not hang back through fear of man. He could say, as David says in the Psalms, `I will speak of thy testimonies even before kings, and will not be ashamed. Was he not a true moral hero, dear Walter?" "An out-and-out one, dear aunt," was his reply.
At supper, these gentlemen greatly distinguish themselves, brightening up very much when the ladies leave the table, and proclaiming aloud their intention of beginning to spend the evening-a process which is generally understood to be satisfactorily performed, when a great deal of wine is drunk and a great deal of noise made, both of which feats the out-and-out young gentlemen execute to perfection.
"Why, if the man of Galilee could be reincarnated the first thing He would attack would be the official expounders of Christianity, with their creeds and formalisms, their temples and their self-seeking. The Nazarene was a radical. The average preacher is an out-and-out reactionary." "How do you know?" he challenged boldly.
At the same time, they can feel themselves losing control of the situation. In fact, the Herring gang is fearful that at the coming elections they will be swept aside and replaced with out-and-out loyal supporters of the President. So they're going to try to arouse sentiment against the administration and against the war, in order to head off the threatened landslide.
You have given her to-night the first out-and-out guffaw that she has enjoyed in years. She says it cured her of a crick in the neck." The fair Fiammetta, however, made a gesture of reproof, then held out her warm hand to me. "No, Antonio," she protested, "you have not been clever, after all, but wicked. The worst of revenge is this: that it invariably exceeds its object.
His sense of humor tempted him to the sanctimonious suit of your out-and-out Parliament man; his love for finery and the high horse lured him to lovelocks and feathers. The old piratical instinct which he thought he had put to bed forever was awake in him, too, and asking which side could be made to pay the best for his services. If he must take sides, which side would fill his pockets the fuller?
