Everybody is going to help you with the cooking and fixings, and let's have a never-forget supper this onct." "That we are," answered Mrs. Pratt emphatically. "Mr. Hoover says no hand-around, stand-around for him; he wants a regular laid table with a knife and fork set-down to it.
It was the other way before I met you, but the finding of you has given me a light heart, and I'll watch that brother-in-law's set-down with right good will." He told Richard about Amalia, and asked him to wait until he fetched her, as he wished her to accompany them, but still he said nothing to him about his cousin Peter.
In all my experience along the dirtiest ways of this dirty little world, I have never met with such a thing as a trifle yet. Before we go a step further in this business we must see the petticoat that made the smear, and we must know for certain when that paint was wet." Mr. Superintendent taking his set-down rather sulkily asked if he should summon the women.
I suppose I was an ungrateful tramp, for I refused to partake of the bounteousness of the house that had had a party the night before. Evidently the guests hadn't liked cake either.

And he roused after a gentle shaking to see a beam of light in the sky ahead, though around them was the solid darkness of night. "That's a warning," Hume explained.

Even a "set-down" could not have lured me away.
