"I've thought of a couplet," interposed one of the party, "which you'll all have to criticise, and put into ship-shape; its burden is this: "The musk-like epidendrum smell enshrouds the court, where shines the sun with oblique beams; The iris fragrance is wafted over the isle illumined by the moon's clear rays."
Both women loved the quiet of the "Merry Maid" far better than they did Society, and while Madge, Phil and Lillian flitted here and there like gay young butterflies, the chaperon and the little brown-haired daughter of Virginia kept the boat ship-shape and looked after the wants of the others.

He says that everything is ship-shape above and below, and the craft holding well on her way. He also prays you not to think of returning at present, and says that it would be as bad seamanship, as for a captain who has made a good offing in a gale, and has plenty of sea-room, to run down close to a rocky shore under the lee, before the storm has altogether blown itself out."
Gillie, not yet having been quite cured of his objectionable qualities, at once apostrophised his eye and Elizabeth Martin. "As like as two peas, barrin' the dirt!" The Captain evidently enjoyed the lad's astonishment. "A ship-shape sort o' craft, ain't it? It wouldn't be a bad joke to buy it eh?"
Sir Launcelot got up steam, he and I loaded up the kettle with unslaked lime and carbolic acid, with a touch of lactic acid added thereto, then filled the thing up with water and inserted the steam-spout under the canopy.

The hand was not however, so easily fixed up as David Bright seemed to expect. "Come down an' let's have a look at it, David," said the skipper, when the vessel's deck was gained.
"So," said the skipper, "that's rigged up in what I call ship-shape fashion." "True," remarked the doctor, eyeing the arrangement with a look of approval; "it will do, I think, admirably."
He went below with a monkey-wrench, unscrewed the nut, and let the hook drop off. When the Greeks had hauled their nets into their boats and made everything ship-shape, a posse of citizens took them off our hands and led them away to jail. "Ay tank Ay ban a great big fool," said Ole Ericsen.
