The only way we can help her is to treat her well and invite her to our parties and luncheons. If she finds we are ready to begin all over again with her, perhaps she'll be different. We made a solemn compact to do it, provided our mothers were willing we should. So to be very slangy, 'It's up to you, Captain!"
Since yesterday you have gone down in my estimation from 190 to 56." "Fahrenheit?" "No, that was a Wall Street quotation. Your stock has 'slumped, as we say on the Street." "Now you are talking Latin, or worse, for I can understand a little Latin." "'Slumped' sounds slangy, doesn't it? It isn't a pretty word, but it is expressive. It means going down with a run, or rather, all in a heap."
He is making on oaf of him a slangy, impudent little " "Your Grace!" interrupted Baron Dangloss sharply. "Uncle Jack's all right," declared the Prince, vaguely realising that a defence should be forthcoming. "He is, eh?" rasped the exasperated Duke, mopping his brow. "He sure is," pronounced the Prince with a finality that left no room for doubt.
She said the Teachers were just crazy about it and all of them agreed that Effie ought to go to Paris or Milan. The slangy Boy with the rag-time Shirt went them one better, and said that all of the phoney Melbas in the country ought to pull for the Old Country and wait until they were sent for. In this same Boarding-House there was a Widow whose husband had neglected to die.
"Well, what do you know about that?" exclaimed the slangy Billy Barnes, as he in his turn conned the remarkable document from the old man, who seemed destined to be checked at every point by the boys. It is a week after the race and the Hempstead Plains cup proudly reposes in a place of state in the Chester boys' home.
And she knew so much, so self-assured, and not yet nineteen. What was that odious word? Flapper! Dreadful young creatures squealing and squawking and showing their legs! The worst of them bad dreams, the best of them powdered angels! Fleur was not a flapper, not one of those slangy, ill-bred young females. And yet she was frighteningly self-willed, and full of life, and determined to enjoy it.
In my character of the ingenuous inquirer I set him posers about politics and economics, the kind of thing I might have been supposed to pick up from unintelligent browsing among little books. Generally he answered with some slangy catchword, but occasionally he was interested beyond his discretion, and treated me to a harangue like an equal.
'Lady Kirkaldy says that all has turned out better than could have been expected. You see, as she says, Mr. Egremont has been used to good women in his own family, and would not like to see her in a slangy fast set. All her own gaieties have been under Lady Kirkaldy's wing, or that of Mrs. William Egremont's relations, and only in a quiet moderate way.
"Richly dressed, I agree," said Nan. "But Mrs. Cupp will have something to say about that." "I know," giggled the wicked and slangy Bess. "She'll give her an earful about dressing 'out of order. She is worse than Linda." "No. Better," said Nan confidently. "Whoever chose that girl's outfit showed beautiful taste, even if she is dressed much too richly for the standard of Lakeview Hall."
"Don't be too slangy, Tommy, and who on earth is Bill Marks?" asked Jack. "He's our particular friend, Tommy's and mine," answered Atlas, seeing that Tommy was momentarily occupied with bacon and eggs. "He told us more yarns than we ever before heard spun in the same length of time.
