Mr. Tooting and Mr. Pardriff both being men of the world, some exceeding plain talk ensued between them, and when two such minds unite, a way out is sure to be found.
My mother is the Comtesse de Lavalette. And you?" "Oh, I'm plain Hugh Egerton," said the young man. The girl laughed. "I do not think you are plain Hugh Egerton at all. But perhaps an American girl would not tell you that? Hugh! What a nice name. I think it is going to be my favourite name."
"You have been at this game some time now, Will," said Joe Little. "Can you think of anything we ought to specially learn that we won't get hold of in plain flying? A tip is often worth a lot, you know." "From what I hear from you boys, I guess what Joe means by plain flying means pretty well every sort of stunt. I don't think one fellow can tell another much about that sort of thing.
If any dared deny the influence of this hour, the loveliest of the day, the flowers would protest and intoxicate his senses with their penetrating perfumes, which then exhale and mingle with the tender hum of insects and the amorous note of birds. The brooks which threaded the plain beyond the village were veiled in fleecy vapor.

They seem to be wearing their hair mostly in two plain braids. I'm glad of it, for you look ever so much better with your hair done that way. We can rip it up and press the ribbon. I'm awfully glad you've got such a lot; It'll make lovely bows for the braids." While Elizabeth ripped her bow to pieces Aunt Susan's tongue ran on with the subject nearest her heart.

I think that professors of religion ought so to dress that wherever they are seen all around may feel they are condemning the world and all its trifling vanities." A little later, she writes: "My attention has lately been called to the duty of Christians dressing quite plain.
He's built on large lines, outside and in. But mother's only large to the naked eye; and she's Anglo-Indian to the bone." "You think ... she'll raise objections?" "She won't get the chance. It's my affair not hers. There'd be arguments, at the very least. She tramples tactlessly. And it's plain you're abnormally sensitive; and rather fierce under your gentleness !"
