"Thank God," said Lamb, "that there were not four of those Fricker girls, or I, too, would have been bagged, and the world peopled from the best!" Southey got the only prize out of the hazard; Lovell's wife was so-so, and Coleridge drew a blank, or thought he did, which was the same thing; for as a man thinketh so is she.
They did not catch the bird, though they stayed longer than they had intended, and though So-so seemed to know more about hunting than was supposed. "I dare say mother has come home," said little Joan, as they went back up the field-path. "I hope she won't think we ought to have stayed in the house." "It was taken care of," said So-so, "and that must do just as well."
When he came back to an English country, to wharves and stores, to halls and porches of great houses and parlors of lesser ones, to the streets and ordinaries of Williamsburgh, he pulled on jack boots, shrugged himself into a coat with silver buttons, stuck lace of a so-so quality at neck and wrists, wore a cocked hat and a Blenheim wig, and became a figure alike grotesque and terrible.
"Writing books, I suppose." "Or privately married." "Or growing too rich rich men are always unhappy beings." "Ha, Ferrers, how are you?" "So-so. What's the news?" replied Lumley. "Rattler pays forfeit." "O! but in politics?" "Hang politics are you turned politician?" "At my age, what else is there left to do?"
And yet, in some inexplicable way it conveyed the impression that she had never suspected him of the faintest intention to carry her hand to his lips. The sermon was only so-so, but they enjoyed the singing; particularly their own. Both sang from one book, with much reserve, yet with such sweetly persuasive voices that those about them first listened and then added their own very best.
"'I'm sorter toler'ble, Brer Rabbit; how you come on? sez Miss Cow, sez she. "'Oh, I'm des toler'ble myse'f, Sis Cow; sorter linger'n' twix' a bauk en a break-down, sez Brer Rabbit, sezee. "'How yo' fokes, Brer Rabbit? sez Miss Cow, sez she. "'Dey er des middlin', Sis Cow; how Brer Bull gittin' on? sez Brer Rabbit, sezee. "'Sorter so-so, sez Miss Cow, sez she.
On my return found Emily waiting for me, and drove with her to Bannisters.... In the evening, at the theater, the house was very good, but I played only so-so, and not at all excellent well.... Thursday, August 18th. While I was practising I came across that pretty piece of ballad pathos, "The Banks of Allan Water," and sang myself into sobbing.
We have been twice to the San Carlo, which we were the more pleased to do, because when we were here before, that fine theatre was closed. The singing is so-so, and the tenor especially is gifted with limbs rather than with voice or ear. But there is a baritone worth hearing and a soprano, whom the Neapolitans delight to honour with hideous sounds of applause.
On the tail of that second so-so Victory by Soubise, Contades thought, Now would be the chance. And did try hard, but without effect. Ferdinand was himself attending Contades; and mistakes were not likely. A melancholic cautious man, apt to be over-cautious, nicknamed 'L'APOTHECAIRE' by the Parisians, from his down looks, but had good soldier qualities withal.
Mallalieu are in no need of a bit of money, Mr. Cotherstone," he said quietly. "Business seems to be good with you, sir." "Oh, so-so," replied Cotherstone, off-handedly. "Naught to complain of, of course. I'll give you a receipt, Mr. Kitely," he went on, seating himself at his desk and taking up a book of forms.
