About nightfall, their horse having made poorish fight, though the foot had stood to it like men, they roll universally away. The Prussian left wing of horse are summoned through the Tschonengrund to chase: had there remained another hour of daylight, the Saxon Army had been one wide ruin.
It was, in fact, a poorish match and the young couple were dependent more or less on Wardle. Even the old lady didn't like it, she resented their going to look at the house, and her son, to soothe her, made this significant speech: "Recollect Bella; come, you must keep her spirits up, poor girl."

They ate a poorish table d'hote dinner in such low spirits that March had no heart to get a rise from his wife by calling her notice to the mouse which fed upon the crumbs about their feet while they dined.
And this was the most unpleasant touch of all. But, bless his soul! did not most large families include at least one poorish specimen? he had got thus far, by the time he came to wind up his watch for the night. And next day he felt sure he had judged Ned over-harshly.
Monsieur Thurot had three ships, the crews of which burnt two ships belonging to King George, and a house belonging to his friend the King of Argyll pray don't mistake; by his friend, I mean King George's, not Thurot's friend.
