I dont think that, by nater, they are as tonguey speakers, for an off-hand discourse, as the standing-order ministers. And what denomination do you distinguish as the standing-order? inquired Miss Temple, with some surprise. Why, the Presbyterans and Congregationals, and Baptists, too, for- til now; and all sitch as dont go on their knees to prayer,
It isn't flopdoddle, Sir, but it's solid food." "Tonguey," thought old Jacob Van Boozenberg, "but vastly improved. Has come to terms with Uncle Lawrence. Sensible fellow!"

Politicians are not the only ones who think interminable talk an indication of weakness. I knew a liveryman who was also a great horse-trader.

It was wonderful how much backbone and dignity and self-respect the justice's very flattering remarks had injected into the nine trustees no, eight, for the Scotchman fully understood and despised Rowan's oratorical powers. The Scotchman was on his feet in an instant. "I have listened," he said, "to the talk that Justice Rowan has given us. It's very fine and tonguey, but it smothers up the facts.
Belgrave spoke to us in this connection. Mrs. Blossom is one of the "salt of the earth," a very good woman, very religious, and her studies have been confined to the Bible and her denominational newspapers.
