I haven't eaten the trout of that brook all my life, without." "But you don't know my cookery," said Mr. Knowlton; "that's something new." "I don't see the sense of doing things in an outlandish way, when you have no need to. Nor I don't see why men should cook, as long as there's women about." "What is outlandish?" inquired Mr. Knowlton. "What you've been doing, I should say."
"N'loan pes-saus, mok glint ont-aven, Glint ont-aven, nosh morgan." "What on earth is that outlandish thing you're singing, Herb?" roared Neal Farrar from the bunk, awakened by the sounds.

He spoke fervently and persuasively; nor, although his tone and accent were odd, and his Celtic modes and phrases to those Saxon ears outlandish, did these peculiarities in the least injure the influence of the man.
He would have preferred to see a good English dogcart, high in the seat and wheels, at the door of the Hall, instead of that outlandish vehicle; but Joseph Ruggles, the groom, explained to him that it was easier to clean than a dogcart, and that when it rained he sat inside with the squire.
