If such things were going on in the old Monachlog it was high time to pull it down. MYSELF. What kind of a rent do you pay for your land? FARMER. Oh, rather a stiffish one. MYSELF. Two pounds an acre? FARMER. Two pound an acre! I wish I paid no more! MYSELF. Well, I think that would be quite enough. In the time of the old monastery you might have had the land at two shillings an acre.
It was a singular document, this problem in letters which had come to light up the gloom of a November day for Average Jones; a stiffish sheet of paper, ornamented on one side with color prints of alluring "spinners," and on the other inscribed with an appeal, in print. Its original vehicle was an envelope, bearing a one-cent stamp, and addressed in typewriting: Mr.
"Now, Case," said Ransom, reflectively, "Case is not a bad fellow, considering that he is good for nothing, and a smart fellow for one who knows nothing, and you will like him. He's a little stiffish, and devotes himself mostly to young ladies." "Thank you," said Case.
"Well, you're growing maddening!" cried Prulliere. "Get away from her, you fellow there!" And he dismissed Fontan and changed covers, in order to take his place at Nana's side. The company shouted and applauded at this and gave vent to some stiffish epigrammatic witticisms. Fontan counterfeited despair and assumed the quaint expression of Vulcan crying for Venus.
He could see now how this superior force had worked, and he fairly liked to recover the sight little harm as he dreamed of doing, little ill as he dreamed of wishing, the three ladies, whom he had after all entertained for a stiffish series of days.
Again and again he tried it, again and again to fail just as he imagined himself on the verge of success; till at last he was forced, for the moment, to acknowledge defeat, finding himself so exhausted that he could hardly keep his mouth above water. Drawing down a stiffish branch of the sapling, he gripped it between his teeth and so held himself upright while he rested his arms.
They enter the shed white and flossy as newly combed poodles to emerge, on the way back to their pasturage, slim, delicate, agile, with a bright black A legibly branded with tar on their paper-white skins. The Anabanco world stiffish but undaunted is turning out of bed one morning. Ha! what sounds are these? And why does the room look so dark? Rain, as I'm alive.
His young officers were all New Army products; he, the commander, being the only regular. There were still enough regulars left to provide one for each of the New Army battalions, in some cases even two. "The men were splendid," he said, "just as good as regulars. They went in without any faltering and we had a stiffish bit of trench in front of us, you know. It's jolly out here, isn't it?"
I suggested that she should open with 'Lohengrin, and she agreed. The price was stiffish, but I didn't quarrel with that. I never drive bargains. She is twenty-two now, or twenty-three; in a few more years she will want five hundred pounds a night, and I shall have to pay it." "And how did she meet you?" "With just the same cold politeness. And I understand her less than ever."
"Let me say a word before you pull," he called, and then to me he said, "Now will you give up the property?" I was pretty pale and shaky, but I come of stiffish stock, and I wouldn't have backed down then, it seemed to me, if they had been going to boil me alive. I suppose it sounds foolish, and if I had had plenty of time I have no doubt my common-sense would have made me crawl.
