Perks; we love you quite as much as if you were an uncle of ours but on a day like WHAT?" "Like this 'ere!" said Perks. "Don't I tell you I see it in the paper?" "Saw WHAT in the paper?" asked Bobbie, but already the 11.54 was steaming into the station and the Station Master was looking at all the places where Perks was not and ought to have been.
Kelly ended in 1880 and I promised Henry Irving that in future I would go to the provincial towns with him, my brother was given a position at the Lyceum, where, I fear, his scrupulous and uncompromising honesty often got him into trouble. "Perks," as they are called in domestic service, are one of the heaviest additions to a manager's working expenses, and George tried to fight the system.
I know there were other considerations in those votes, but I want to use something that I've heard my Republican friends say from time to time: There doesn't have to be a law for everything. So tonight I ask you to just stop taking the lobbyists' perks, just stop. We don't have to wait for legislation to pass to send a strong signal to the American people that things are really changing.
A tiny mechanical bird with actual feathers. And it sings! It is a really, truly yellow canary in a beautiful gold cage, and when you press a spring it perks its head, opens its beak, flirts its tail, and utters the most angelic song. It must have cost a fortune. Couldn't you love a man who would think of a present like that?" "Hm-m! Could you?" "Oh, I'm joking, of course," "Bob" said, seriously.
Perks's health. And Mr. Perks proposed a toast, also honoured in tea, and the toast was, "May the garland of friendship be ever green," which was much more poetical than anyone had expected from him. "Jolly good little kids, those," said Mr. Perks to his wife as they went to bed.
Perks, "and you've made a most ridiculous fuss about nothing, Bert, if you ask me." "No, I ain't," said Perks, firmly; "if a man didn't respect hisself, no one wouldn't do it for him." "But everyone respects you," said Bobbie; "they all said so." "I knew you'd like it when you really understood," said Phyllis, brightly. "Humph! You'll stay to tea?" said Mr. Perks. Later on Peter proposed Mr.
To begin with, there was only just time for Peter and Bobbie and Phyllis to rush into the wash-house, pushing the young and open-mouthed Perks children in front of them. There was not time to shut the door, so that, without at all meaning it, they had to listen to what went on in the kitchen.
"Afternoon tea," she announced proudly, and held the can and the bread and butter out to the old gentleman, who took them and said: "Bless my soul!" "Yes," said Phyllis. "It's very thoughtful of you," said the old gentleman, "very." "But you might have got a cup," said Bobbie, "and a plate." "Perks always drinks out of the can," said Phyllis, flushing red.
We've cut staff, cut perks, even trimmed the fleet of federal limousines. After years of leaders whose rhetoric attacked bureaucracy but whose actions expanded it, we will actually reduce it by 252,000 people over the next five years. By the time we have finished, the federal bureaucracy will be at its lowest point in 30 years.
James made it for you himself. And he said where is it? Oh, yes, here! He said, 'You tell Mr. Perks it's a pleasure to make a little trifle for a man as is so much respected, and then he said he wished he could shoe your children and his own children, like they do the horses, because, well, he knew what shoe leather was." "James is a good enough chap," said Perks.
