A teem purse makes a bleat merchant. Ane year a Nurish, seven years a Daw. Ane ill word begets another, and it were at at the Bridge at London. A Wool-seller kens a Wool-buyer. Auld men are twice bairns. All fellows, Jock and the Laird. A hasty man never wanted woe. A silly bairn is eith to lear. As good merchant tines as wins. A racklesse hussy makes mony thieves. A hungry lowse bites fair.
Instead of responding in kind to my placating overtures, the attitude of the whiskered man became more threatening than ever. He took several steps forward, holding his pitchfork before him, tines presented, until he loomed almost above my kneeling form; and he then hailed his accomplice, saying, as nearly as I recall his language: "Come on, son! We've got him surrounded! He can't git away now!
At Valence Napoleon, for the first time, saw French soldiers with the white cockade in their caps. They belonged to Augereau's corps. At Orange the air resounded with tines of "Vive le Roi!" Here the gaiety, real or feigned, which Napoleon had hitherto evinced, began to forsake him. Andiol, where he arrived at six.
She explored the pot with the fork, and stabbed it firmly there was a suggestion of ruthlessness about her action that made Simpson shudder again into a slab of meat, which she dropped on a plate, using a callous thumb to disengage it from the tines. She covered it with gravy and began to eat without further ceremony.
The sound of voices suddenly arrested Captain Pott's fork in mid-air, and the morsel of untasted salt-mackerel dangled uncertainly from the points of the dingy tines as he swung about to face the open door. Fork and mackerel fell to the floor as the seaman abruptly rose and stalked outside.
The fork is held with the tines curving downward, that position giving greater security to the morsel, and is raised laterally, the points being turned, as it reaches the mouth, just enough to deposit the morsel between the slightly-parted lips. During this easy movement the elbow scarcely moves from its position at the side, a fact gratefully appreciated by one's next neighbor.
As the deputies were upon the eve of their departure for France, to offer the sovereignty of the Provinces to Henry, these proceedings were necessarily confused, dilatory, and at tines contradictory. After the arrival of the deputies in France, the cunctative policy inspired by the Lord Treasurer was continued by England.
Shaving becomes a rare luxury. A lost tooth-brush may not be replaced for a month. In time one may bring himself to eat with a knife for the reason that it is hard for a hungry man to feed himself with a fork that has but two tines. The finger tips cease to be the culminating standard of the gentleman.
Many brings the rake, but few the shovel. Meikle must a good heart thole. Many man makes an errand to the hall to bid the Lady good-day. Many cares for meal that has baken bread enough. Make not meikle of little. Meikle spoken, part must spill. Many tines the half-mark whinger for the half-penny whang. Messengers should neither be headed nor hanged. Meikle has, would ay have more.
Nimble and his friend Dodger the Deer picked themselves up off the ground where they had fallen after their collision in the air. They did not feel any too pleasant. One of Dodger's sharp tines had given Nimble a good prick. And one of Nimble's points had stung Dodger like a hornet's sting. If only one of them had been pricked the whole affair might have ended differently.
