His manner was full of quirks and quips and eccentricities, waving his umbrella and gesticulating strangely, with a great deal of action. I suppose, to help his natural foolishness, he had been drinking. We parted, he exhorting me not to forget his message to his sons, and I shouting after him a request to be remembered to the widow.
But he was not a modern "smart" lawyer, to seek popularity by screening criminals, nor a modern soft juryman, to suffer his eyes to be blinded by quirks and quibbles to the great purposes of law, nor a modern bland governor, who lets a murderer loose out of politeness to the murderer's mistress.
I am satisfied." But the game was not won. Amid the most intense excitement the next man fouled out. Then Peck seemed to gather himself to save the game for Harvard. He got some queer quirks into his delivery, and, almost before the Yale crowd could realize it, two strikes were called on the batter.
Of the several thousand UFO reports that the Air Force has received since 1947, some 15 to 20 per cent fall into this category called unknown.

Let nimble fun, explosive jokes, festoon-faced humor, the whole tribe of gibes and quirks, every light, keen, and flashing weapon in the armory of which Punch is the keeper, be employed to make the world laugh, and put the world's laughter on the side of all right as against all wrong.
In fact, he was to feel what, as Malone says, Lord Auchinleck had all along told his son, that it would cost him much more trouble to hide his ignorance of Scotch and English law than to shew his knowledge.

"What is this about Denis?" he cried; but as he read he wished he had not spoken, for he loved and respected his wife, notwithstanding his professed scorn for her. "And what is it?" she asked. "Never you mind.
"The idea of a basket of birds to atone for such insults and calumny as that man has heaped on you!"
