Macdonald, relying for power on his alliance with Cartier, could not accept the demand, and saw seat after seat in Canada West fall to Brown and his "Rep. by Pop." crusaders. Brown's success only solidified Canada East against him, until, in the early sixties, party lines coincided almost with sectional lines. Parties were so closely matched that the life of a Ministry was short.
He had cleaned up some good boys, while I had only gotten a rep about as big as a nickel with a hole in it. I guess I looked pie to him. He turkey-trotted up to me for the first round and stopped in front of me as if he was wondering what had blown in and whether the Gerry Society would stand for his hitting it. I could see him thinking 'This is too easy' as plain as if he'd said it.
In geographical range the territory in which it was domesticated was nearly the same. R. R. Rep., Vol. III, p. 114. Cremony, p. 302, Harper's Mag. Vol. I, p. 143; Catlin, Vol. R. R. Rep., Vol. R. R. Rep., Vol.
The Seri are probably the most primitive tribe in the American continent. At the time of Mr. McGee’s visit they preserved the maternal system in its early form, and are therefore an instructive example by which to estimate the position of the women. “The Beginning of Marriage,” American Anthropologist, Vol. IX, p. 376. Also Rep. Bur. Ethn., XVII, 275.
Gradually the whole atmosphere of the Vicarage, with its shiny mahogany furniture, its faded rep curtains, its old prints and few unassuming miniatures of the quiet country gentlefolk who were Boase's ancestors, its queer mingled smell of old books and lavender, all became part of Ishmael's consciousness.
This she whetted to an edge on the hearth, and directly the little brass nails flew right and left, a mass of twisted fringe lay on the hearth, when the old woman stood in a cloud of dust, holding the torn rep in her hand.
"Yes it is, Miss Insull," said Samuel, deliberately. In less than a minute he was gone. Constance ran upstairs. But the cry had ceased. She turned the door-knob softly, slowly, and crept into the chamber. A night- light made large shadows among the heavy mahogany and the crimson, tasselled rep in the close-curtained room. She picked up the night-light and stole round the bed.
It is perhaps this humour of speaking no more than we needs must which has so miserably curtailed some of our words, that in familiar writings and conversations they often lose all but their first syllables, as in "mob.," "rep.," "pos.," "incog.," and the like; and as all ridiculous words make their first entry into a language by familiar phrases, I dare not answer for these that they will not in time be looked upon as a part of our tongue.
Or she was sitting in the bar-parlour on an upturned cube-sugar box beside the green rep sofa where Bough lolled on wet days or stormy nights, her great eyes wild with apprehension, her every nerve tense and strained with terror of the master in his condescending moods, when he would make pretence of teaching her to scrawl coarse pothooks and hangers on the greasy slate that usually hung below the glass-and-bottle shelf.
"That's the Walton house, and that's " "The what?" asked Wade, sitting up very suddenly in the green rep rocker. "The Walton house, sir." "Oh! Hum! And er who lives there, Zephania?" "Miss Walton and Miss Mullett." "What's this Miss Miss Walton like? Is she rather stout with quite black hair, Zephania?" "Oh, no, Mr. Herring! I guess you saw Mrs. Sampson, the dressmaker.
