Cut out for a court, a pardoning planet, clapt up, left in the lurch, the mob, outed, a great beauty, went roundly to work: All these phrases used by the vulgar, shew him to have kept mean or illiterate company in his youth. PREFACE, p. 3. Burnet.
On making certain concessions, outed ministers were to be restored. Two-and- forty came in, including the Resolutioner Douglas, in 1660 the correspondent of Sharp. Sharp was silenced; Burnet of Glasgow was superseded, and the see was given to the saintly but unpractical Leighton.
'Was your trouble something about the' I was going to say the ladies, but that seemed too mawkish, and I boldly outed with 'women? 'Oh no, he said, meekly; 'it was just cloth, a piece of cloth, 'Breaking and entering? I led on. 'Well, not exactly, but it came to grand larceny, and I might have fancied a touch of mounting self-respect in his confession of a considerable offence.
I figured on that, and only hope it wasn't set down as a case of suicide. I shall get outed quite soon enough, Bunny, but I'd rather be dropped by the hangman than throw my own wicket away." "Oh, my dear old chap, to think of having you by the hand again! I feel as though we were both aboard that German liner, and all that's happened since a nightmare. I thought that time was the last!"
But Moriarty, to the disappointment of the school, which had counted on his pulling off the middles, met a strenuous gentleman from St Paul's in the final, and was prematurely outed in the first minute of the third round. To him, therefore, there fell but a medal of bronze. He had gone to supper with the headmaster, accompanied by Clowes and Milton.
'Sealed to Christ and His true Kirk! But when I was bigger I only wanted to meet Grierson of Lagg, and grieved that he was dead and gone and that Satan, not I, had the handling of him. My grandfather and mother.... My grandfather was among the outed ministers in Galloway.
"It has been touch and go for our lives," said Lord John, gravely, "and I could not think of a more rotten sort of death than to be outed by such filthy vermin. I was sorry to fire my rifle, but, by Jove! there was no great choice." "We should not be here if you hadn't," said I, with conviction. "It may do no harm," said he.
The Oxford captain had played at it, and we heard something even in Block B. "How's that?" came almost simultaneously in Teddy's ringing voice. Up went the umpire's finger, and down came Raffles's hand upon my thigh. "He's caught him, Bunny!" he cried in my ear above the Cambridge cheers. "The best bat on either side, and Teddy's outed him third ball!"
Singular as it may appear, this was not so laughable to me as it might seem. It was so apparent that he did not anticipate ridicule. And my Clélie's interest in these people also rendered them sacred in my eyes. "Yes," he returned, "that's so; an' sometimes it's wuss than you'd think when mother's outed. An' that's why I'm glad as Mis' Dimar an' Esmeraldy is such friends."
The night before we had made our inspection of these trenches, a shell had landed right on top of the gun emplacement and had "outed" the whole concern, unfortunately killing two of the gun section belonging to the former battalion. For some reason or other that end of our line was always being shelled. Just in the same way as they plunked shells daily into St. Yvon, so they did here.
