Ransack the city as he might, market, shops, and gardens, hardly a flower could he find worthy her acceptance a garish, red-headed hybrid twixt poppy and tulip and some inodorous waxen shoots that looked like decrepit hyacinths and smelled like nothing, representing the stock in trade at that season of the few flower-stands about Manila.
Now as I stood thus someone spoke 'twixt sigh and groan: "Bartlemy 'tis Bartlemy!" and the word was taken up by others, "Bartlemy Black Bartlemy!" and all men fell back from me whiles Adam scowled at me above levelled pistol. "Hold off Adam!" I panted. "Let be, Adam Penfeather let be!" "What?" says he, peering, "And is it Martin? Lord love me, now what fool's ploy is this?"
It is neither age nor evil that teaches one to judge 'twixt black and white. God gives the true divination to human hearts that need." It was a contest in which Leicester revelled simplicity and single- mindedness against the multifarious and double-tongued. He had made many efforts in his time to conquer argument and prejudice.
It was intended, therefore, to reward his services when the time came by a county office, which would have placed him at ease pecuniarily. When this office fell vacant the Tories were "in," and all seemed secure for Mr. Fulford's interest. But there's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip.
"Don't be too sure, my boy," warned his father. "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip or rather the aeroplane, you know."

Wed this voice to the poetry, and it finds passage 'twixt your ribs, as on the point of a driven blade. Do I cry the sweetness and the coolness of my melons? Not I! Try them." The signorina put her hand out for the scroll he was unfolding, and cast her eyes along bars of music, while Agostino called a "Silenzio tutti!" She sang one verse, and stopped for breath.
He's monarch of the fair, wherever they may be; For, lo, they're all become the liegemen of his grace. The water of his mouth is liquid honey-dew And 'twixt his lips for teeth fine pearls do interlace. Perfect in every trait of beauty and unique, His witching loveliness distracts the human race.
He left her in a pet, and went in search of Gregory, into whose ear he poured the story of his woes that had their source in Cynthia's unkindness. From this resulted a stormy interview 'twixt Cynthia and her father, in which Cynthia at last declared that she would not be wedded to a fop.
"Because I had rather die solitary than live in your fellowship " "Dolt! Clod!
