"Don't go to sleep, Dick," said a voice near him. "I admit the temptation is strong. I feel it myself, but General Grant may have to send you and me forward to-night to win another battle." "George, I'm glad to hear your preachy voice over there. Hurt any?" "No. A million cannon balls brushed my right cheek and another million brushed my left cheek, but they didn't touch me.
"Haven't you noticed how all mother's little peculiarities are growing on her? She is getting so much more dictatorial and preachy. Of course, we know that mother means to be kind and helpful, but she has always been so tactless and blunt; and it's growing worse and worse." "I have often wondered how all her charity people take her; it must come tough on them, sometimes. Gee!
It isn't that Blanche ever says a word of the preachy sort, or has anything of the Sunday-school child about her, or even tries to smooth them down when they're excited. It's just herself. The only thing she ever does is sometimes to draw herself up and look scornful, and that nearly kills them. Little as she is, they're crazy about having her respect. I've grown superstitious about her.
"Yes," said Marcia, "that's exactly it, only I never could have found quite the right words. Do you think J.W. will find it too poky and preachy?" "Tell him to try it and see, as you did last year," said Pastor Drury. "I'll risk that," said John Wesley, Jr., in his newly resolute mood. He knew when to stop, this preacher.
Abbott laid his hand earnestly upon her arm. "Fran! Come in and help us spray." "You dear old prosy, preachy professor!" she exclaimed affectionately, "I have been thinking of it. I've half a mind to try, really. Wouldn't Grace Noir just die?...O Lord, there she comes, now!" Fran left the disconsolate young man in wild precipitation, and flew into the house.
I long ago discovered that you can't TELL about Pollyanna. The minute you try to, she sounds priggish and preachy, and impossible. Yet you and I know she is anything but that. You just have to bring Pollyanna on to the scene and let her speak for herself. And so I want to take her to my sister and let her speak for herself.
One was slapping his book against his thigh; one was blowing a ditty through his nose, like music on a comb; one, in the middle, had his arms thrown over the shoulders of the others, and was at intervals using them as crutches. As they were about to pass the lad, who had stepped a few feet to one side of the path, they wheeled and laughed at him. "Hello, preachy!" cried one.
Then they went out into the street, and inhaled great draughts of the cool night air. "A splendid night," said Dalton. "Yes, truly," said Harry. "I hope you didn't propose to more than six girls." "To none. But I love them all together." "I'm glad to hear it, because you're entirely too young to marry, and your occupation is precarious." "You needn't be so preachy.
"Oh, for mercy's sake, Betty," cried Lloyd, impatiently, "let me alone and don't be so preachy. I'm not going to repoa't a little thing like a headache and a soah throat to the nurse. She'd put me to bed and keep me there for a week. I'd get behind with my lessons, and lose all the holiday fun.
He had been given five demerits. This was below the gravity of his offense, but he had been let off lightly the first time. "You've got to stick to duty, and keep it always in mind," Darrin admonished his chum.
