Angela was the daughter of a doctor at Surbiton, and apparently a damsel of accomplishments. She could punt, play tennis, dance, sing, and make her own blouses; in a word, a "ripper," "top-hole," and no mistake! Ajax slightly raised his brows when we learned that the course of true love had run smooth; but the doctor's blessing was adequately accounted for Angela had five sisters.
The private secretary retired into his chief's inner sanctum. 'Morning, old thing, said Jane to Clare, uncovering her typewriter without haste and yawning, because she had been up late last night. 'Morning, Clare yawned too. She was warm and pretty, in a spring costume, with a big bunch of sweet violets at her waist. She touched these. 'Aren't they top-hole. Mr.
They discovered, incidentally, his wonderful gift of music. "Got it off my mother," was his modest disclaimer. "She and my sister are simply top-hole. We do lots of it together."

Sometimes when it was skating Tara and Chris went with them.

Down the 'phone he said with excessive amiability, "Nothing. I'm top-hole. How are you feeling?" Her answer came back like a flash, "Vulgar and not very safe." It was followed by a gurgle of merriment.
I believe with all my soul that whatever will be, will be for the best. As I said before, I should hate to slide meanly into winter without a scrap....

Thank you for doing what you did." "I had to do it." "Most women would have run away and left me to my fate." "Not my kind." "Rather not! Your kind would risk its neck to help a stray cat.
That rig-out's top-hole." "Glad you like it, Albert," replied Tuppence modestly. "By the way, am I your cousin, or am I not?" "Your voice too," cried the delighted boy. "It's as English as anything! No, I said as a friend of mine knew a young gal. Annie wasn't best pleased. She's stopped on till to-day to oblige, SHE said, but really it's so as to put you against the place."
If I'm wrong you'll have to pay the score. We'll get her out or we'll stay where she is. In any event, Karlov will pay the price. Wouldn't you prefer to go out if you must in a glorious scrap?" "Fighting?" Hawksley was on his feet instantly. "Do you mean that? I can die with free hands?" "With a chance of coming out top-hole." "I say, what a ripping thing hope is always springing back!"
"And," added Steelman, solemnly and grimly, "if you get taken down for 'em, or lose 'em out of the top-hole in your pocket, or spend so much as a shilling in riotous living, I'll stoush you, Smith." Smith didn't seem interested.
