"It's funny. I can't help being a bit slangy. You do take everything so seriously. Of course you can see that the Prince is waiting to make a fool of himself over Lucille. He has been trying more or less all his life." "He may admire her," the Duchess said. "I am sure that he would not allow that to influence him in his present position.
Above all, the life of the theatres that life of raw gaslight, whitewashed walls, of light, doggerel verse, slangy polkas and waltzes interested me beyond legitimate measure, so curious and unreal did it seem. I lived at home, but dined daily at a fashionable restaurant: at half-past eight I was at the theatre. Nodding familiarly to the doorkeeper, I passed up the long passage to the stage.
Sally shook his arm, provoked by a variety of feelings. She loved him to tease her. How strange! She felt a hundred years older than Toby, and yet she felt like a little girl. And when she was with him she did not have to mind her tongue, but could be as slangy and as natural as she pleased. Toby did not know any better.
Mr Pickering did not put it so to himself, for he was rarely slangy even in thought, but what he felt was that he had caught The Man and his confederate with the goods.

Around her slender neck was a marvellous collar of pearls many strands deep, set off and held in place by diamond clasps. With Laura came Mrs. The broker's wife was a vivacious, small, rather pretty blonde woman, a little angular, a little faded. She was garrulous, witty, slangy. She wore turquoises in her ears morning, noon, and night. All at once she was a young woman.
Your well-known fondness for dress did the rest. With your permission, Diva, I intend to draw exactly what conclusions I please on every occasion, including this one." "Ho! That's how you got the idea then," said Diva. "I knew you had cribbed it from me." "Cribbed?" asked Miss Mapp, in ironical ignorance of what so vulgar and slangy an expression meant.
Olive, as you say, is a very beautiful girl, and I suppose Captain Hibbert admires her; but I don't think that either has, up to the present, thought of the matter more seriously. 'You must admit, Alice, that he seems a bit gone on her, said May, with a direct determination to annoy her mother. 'May, dear, you shouldn't talk in that slangy way; you never used to; you have picked it up from Mr.
"You have Catherine," answered Frieda. "Polly is learning German." "And you are learning English. I can see that you have improved a lot this week. But you are getting pretty slangy. It would be better for you to learn from Catherine than from Polly." Frieda shook her head firmly. "I am in awe of Catherine," she announced, "and with you I feel weary talking English, for I know you can talk German.
If anything was to go in, everything must first come out. Rosalie lifted out an initial clearance. There lay scattered beneath it quite half a dozen photographs of officers in khaki. There were all inscribed. "To the school kid." "Wishing you were here." "With kisses." "Till we meet." And with slangy nicknames of the writers. There lay with them a number of letters, all in their envelopes.
Now the gentleman who propounded this pleasant piece of criticism was, according to trustworthy history, the meanest, most useless, and most despicable man of his set; yet he could venture to assume haughty airs towards a man whose shoes he was not fit to black, and he could assume those airs on the strength of his slangy impassivity his "good form."
