Smith, the evening closes in, and we must be going; and remember this, that every Saturday when you come in to market, you are to make our house as your own. There will be always a tea-cup and saucer for you, as you know there has been for months, though you may have forgotten it. I'm a plain-speaking woman, and what I say I mean.
When Peter decided to do a thing, he never faltered in the doing. If making love or declaring it had been a matter of directness and plain-speaking, Peter would have been a successful lover. But few girls are won by lovers who carry business methods and habits of speech into their courtship. "Miss Pierce," said Peter, "I could not go without thanking you for your kindness to me.
She smiled slightly and turned to Jimmy Benyon who was by her, as though to speak to him; but Morewood's voice cut across her remark. "No, I'm not. I'm a sceptic there," he said. "Oh, well, you don't know anything about it," Dick assured him placidly. If plain-speaking were the order of the day, the Benyon family could hold their own. "I bet he hasn't read the prospectus," said Jimmy.
He thought the habit of plain-speaking had to be jealously guarded to keep it from becoming rude-speaking, and he matched with stories of his own some things I had heard my father tell of Friends in the backwoods who were Foes to good manners.

In all his varied experience of the Imp which included, it may be remembered, a good deal of plain-speaking and one embrace Neeld had never found her in such a state as governed her this evening.
"That's exactly why I did it an audience of strangers. How were they to know? Come! come! don't be angry. You are eight years older than I am you ought to set me an example of good-humor." "I will set you an example of plain-speaking. I am more sorry than I can say, Magdalen, to meet you as I met you here just now!" "What next, I wonder?

In one stormy decade he tore the cloak from the Mother of Parliaments, reducing her to a plain-speaking democratic machine. Through the breach he made, the English labor party has since entered.

Crabbe is often spoken of as our first great realist in the poetry and fiction of the last century, and the word is often used as if it meant chiefly plain-speaking as to the sordid aspects of life.
