Out we ran; an' there to be sure was the Bishop comin' down the drive in a hired trap. But between him and the house slap-bang, as you might say, in the middle of the lawn was our two Churchwardens, stripped mother-naked to the waist, and sparring: and from the window just over the porch th' old Missus screaming out to us to separate 'em.
The ship's boy, what was in the shrouds, saw 'em on the run and set up a screech: 'Hooray! hooray! That was all we wanted. We hoorayed too; and went at 'em in such a slap-bang go-to-glory way that in a brace of shakes there wasn't a Frenchman, a Dutchman, nor a Moor on board.
Was not this Friend very ill, and didn't Johnny go to see him; and didn't he, when the Friend complained that he could get no sleep, and that not all the physic, the strongest opium even of the doctor's shop, could make him, didn't Johnny Darbyshire say right slap-bang out, which not another of the plainest-spoken Friends dare have done to a rich man like that, "Stuff and nonsense; and a fig for opium and doctor's stuff, send, man, send for the meeting-house bench, and lie thee down on that, and I'll be bound thou'lt sleep like one of the seven sleepers."
"Do your ancestors go right slap-bang back to the Conquest?" she asked interestedly, while she was undressing that evening. "Well, not quite so far as that," smiled Loveday, diligently brushing a flaxen mane ripply with plaiting.

"But everybody will stare." "Oh, what the devil does that matter?" "Why, for myself, I must say that in a fashionable place like this, with a lot of girls about, I Hullo! that settles it, though." "What?" "Look ahead, dear boy. There's a heavy cart just shed a wheel slap-bang in the middle of the puerto. The way will be blocked for an hour at least."
The theatre at York, sir, that is my ambition; I had it from a child, sir; dreamed of it three tunes, ma'am. If I had back my property in that phenomenon, I would go at the thing, slap-bang, take the York, and bring out the phenomenon with A CLAW!" "You say the young lady is a phenomenon, and for this phenomenon you are willing to pay something handsome, a vague expression. Put it into L. s. d."
Then, just as we were getting near enough to catch the heated glitter of the Bacolod church-dome, to see the golden thread of beach at the foot of the waving cocoanuts, the wind fell, slap-bang, as suddenly as if God had said hush and we stuck there, motionless, upon a petrified sea. "I didn't stamp about and foam at the mouth; I'd been in these climes too long.
Crab Wilson, as game as a pebble, met him with a flush hit every time, but no human strength or human science seemed capable of stopping the terrible onslaught of this iron man. Round after round he scrambled his way in, slap-bang, right and left, every hit tremendously sent home.
"Then you don't want to hear about the chest o' drawers?" interrupted Zeb in dudgeon, with a glance at Ruby, who pretended not to see it. "Well, no. To tell 'ee the slap-bang truth, I don't care if I see no trace of 'ee till the dancin' begins to commence to-night." "Then good-day t' ye, friends," answered Young Zeb, and turned the mare. "Cl'k, Jessamy!" He rattled away down the lane.
