T. Shelley Sutton can probably find more "original poetry" in the same place. "Rev." Bill Homan, who conducts a little pecasmman paper somewhere in North Texas for the long green and the misguidance of three or four hundred fork-o'-the-creek Campbellites, devotes two more columns of his raucous tommyrot and brainless balderdash to the Howell-Jones imbroglio.
Is it not astonishing that any person, intelligent enough to teach school, would talk such tommyrot to students, and look serious while doing so?" Some one has counted that Darwin has used phrases of doubt, like "We may well suppose," 800 times in his two principal works. The whole theory is built up on guesses and suppositions.
But who'd have thought he'd have the cheek to come out for governor? Did you ever hear of such tommyrot?" Austen looked grave. "I'm not sure it's such tommyrot," he said. "Not tommyrot?" Tom ejaculated. "Everybody's laughing.
Talmage and other industrious exploiters of intellectual tommyrot, now ladling out saving grace for fat salaries, might be as unctuously mouthing for Mumbo Jumbo, fanning the flies off some sacred bull or bowing the knee to Baal. The Potiphar-Joseph episode deserves the profoundest study. It was an awful crisis in the history of the human race!
All the chaps go." She shook her head. "Not the nicest." "Oh, that's tommyrot," he said disrespectfully. "Their women folk don't know that's all." Eileen now began to feel like a criminal round whom the toils thicken. In the most fashionable of her three Halls, she sang a little French song. And she had taught Master Harold his French.
"Yes I have and I have got a fiancée." Mr. Fordyce was not disturbed; he did not even answer this absurd remark, he just puffed his cigar cigarettes were beneath his notice. "You don't seem very interested," his host ejaculated, rather aggrievedly. "Tommyrot!" "I tell you, it is true. I have got a fiancée." "My dear fellow, you are mad!"
She very kindly explained that undying affection, tender devotion, and the protection of manly arms were all tommyrot; that she really didn't care to be enshrined queen of anyone's heart or home. She wishes to avoid any step that may hinder the development of her own personality. You er get that, I trust, Torchy?" "Clear as mush," says I. "Was it just her way of handin' you the blue ticket?"
Of course Earl Jimmy's mustache is simply too cute for anything, but, alas! unless Vievie clings to her heroic Tommy " "Tommyrot!" sniffed Mrs. Gantry. "The presumption of that low fellow! To think of his following her to America!" "You should have forewarned the authorities at Ellis Island, and had him excluded as dangerous to your plans." "No more of this frivolity!
"Oh, I say, Penny!" says Mr. Robert. "Don't be more of an ass than you can help. Quit that golf tommyrot and tell me what you're doing here in this forsaken spot when all New York is thinking that maybe you've been murdered or something." "Eh?" says Penrhyn. "Then then the news is out, is it? Did you bring any papers?" "Papers?" says Mr. Robert. "No." "Wish you had," says Penrhyn.
"Do you mean to tell me that the Irish newspapers have been so incredibly stupid as not to publish the articles sent by you, Hilda, and Selby-Harrison?" "Not a single one of them," said Lalage. "And the bishops," I said, "still wear their purple stocks, their aprons, and their gaiters; and still talk tommyrot through the length and breadth of the land."
