For several seasons past, it was thought that cultivation had reached its highest point; yet each succeeding year outvied the past, and report tells me, that the plants exhibited to-day are in advance of anything previously seen.
In vain did we suggest that all confusion was avoided by adding the abbreviated name of the State. No! "It was very confusing." Our guest, with an air and vehemence that quite outvied our triumph, exclaimed, "Oh! but they are in different shirrrhes, in different shirrrhes!" Sure enough, one of his own shires is a larger thing to an Englishman than one of our States.
Diana so pretty, so attractive, so original, and yet to Ailsa's thinking, so far less reliable and restful than Meryl. In the end, by a clever little manoeuvre, she brought Carew and Meryl together. "You are almost outvied, Major Carew," she told him lightly. "Miss Pym likes my view already, as much, if not more, than you.

As evening approached the cattle from the outside cup were driven into this inner enclosure. They could be cared for at night much more easily in one herd. Tom Collins and the outfit's cook outvied each other in making supper.
Peabody considers it "the most faultlessly and exquisitely beautiful building" he ever saw. These three most elegant buildings, the Cathedral, the Baptistry and the Campanile or Leaning Tower, are a unite in architectural beauty and design, and for effect in external appearance are scarcely outvied by anything that I have seen of the kind in all Italy.
And the great iron key hung untouched from the beam, while the spiders outvied one another in wreathing it with their webs, knowing it to be the only spot in Lantrig where they were safe from my mother's broom.
"I vow," said he, "that I had grown matutinal earlier had I known what here awaited me." "Awaited you?" quoth Diana, and tossed her head archly disdainful. "La! Sir Rowland, your modesty will be the death of you." Archness became this lady of the sunny hair, tip-tilted nose, and complexion that outvied the apple-blossoms.
