"I'd as soon not have my flaish creep down the spine 'pon Sundays as not," confessed Thomasin, "but Michael's Michael, an' so all's said." Uncle Chirgwin went to smoke a pipe and water his horse at this juncture; but he returned within less than ten minutes. "It's blowin'," he said, "an' the fust skew o' gray rain's breakin' over the sea. I knawed 'twas comin' by my corns.
Here was also Bab. and Betty, who have not their clothes yet, and therefore cannot go out, otherwise I would have had them abroad to-morrow; but the poor girls mighty kind to us, and we must skew them kindness also. Here in Suffolk Street lives Moll Davis; and we did see her coach come for her to her door, a mighty pretty fine coach.
The poor priest drew out the letter and skewed it to the official, who opened it, looked at the signature, and absolutely shrieked when he saw the name Squillace. "What, senor abbe! you are going to Madrid with a letter from Squillace, and you dare to skew it?"
She then went away, and I shall not say whether my behaviour irritated or pleased her. The next day I was curious to know how much she had told the marchioness, and on hearing nothing of the principal fact I felt certain she would not lock her door that evening. When the evening came I defied her to skew the same confidence in me as I had shewn in her.
Every bridge, from the simplest to the most complicated, including the then novel structure of the “skew bridge,” iron girders, siphons, fixed engines, and the machinery for working the tunnel at the Liverpool end, had to be thought out by his own head, and reduced to definite plans under his own eyes.
Say, then, can you take 8 from 3 as you point to the figures, and they will say "Yes;" but skew them 3 balls on a wire and ask them to deduct 8 from them, when they will perceive their error.
"I must see about his clothes," she said to Imogen; "I can't have him going up to Oxford all anyhow. Those boys are so particular." "Val's got heaps of things," Imogen answered. "I know; but they want overhauling. I hope he'll come." "He'll come like a shot, Mother. But he'll probably skew his Exam." "I can't help that," said Winifred. "I want him."
"Only give way boldly to your genius, madam, and you will produce poetry worthy of heaven." "That is my opinion, too," said the cardinal. "I entreat you to give me permission to skew your ten stanzas to the abbe." "They are not very good, but I have no objection provided it remains between us."
I pressed her hand tenderly, to skew that I assented to the conditions she laid down. "Oh! by the way," she suddenly exclaimed, "I have a pleasant surprise for you." She went out, and a moment afterward returned with Veronique, who had become her maid. I was glad to see her and embraced her affectionately, asking after Annette. She said her sister was well, and was working with her mother.
I am only too glad to have been enabled to skew my friendship by this trifling service. We will say no more about it." "Very good," said I, embracing him, "we will say no more, but please to receive the assurance of my gratitude." I confess I felt much relieved at being freed from this troublesome business.
