There-fore, amid the graves and the crosses, the friends felt fairly safe. "Why shouldn't she believe it?" countered Spence. "Don't you suppose I can tell a lie properly?" "To be honest I don't." "Well," somewhat gloomily, "this one seemed to go over all right. It went much farther than I ever expected. It's far too up-and-coming. The way it grows frightens me.
Especially a trim, all-alive, up-and-coming, blue-eyed hussy like that girl of Duke Morgan's. She would upset any young fellow, John." "A girl from Morgan's Gap?" "Morgan's Gap, nothing!" responded Jeffries scornfully. "What's that got to do with it? Does that change the fire in the girl's eye, the curve of her neck, the slope of her shoulder, John, or the color of her cheek?" Lefever only stared.
Dallam Wybrant, bride of an up-and-coming business man, with an assured social position and wealth as our town measured wealth in his own name she was now to pass entirely beyond their humble horizon and vanish out of their narrowed social ken.
"The best thing that could happen to you would be for you to go away for a change. I have a good mind to send you back East. Your Aunt Almira " "Oh, Daddy! Never! You don't mean it?" cried the girl. "Why, you'll like your Aunt Almira. Of course, Jase Day is not such an up-and-coming chap as one might wish; but he is a good sort, at that. And there is your cousin, Marty."
By jingo, she is a more worthy member of the clan than any woman we have in the family. I was all for taking her in because she is so gol darned pretty and up-and-coming. I must confess I wouldn't have been so eager about it if she had been jimber-jawed and cross-eyed, but, by the great jumping jingo, I'd say be my long-lost cousin now if she had a wooden leg, a glass eye and china teeth!"
A friend was telling me recently of running into Carl on the street just before he left for Europe and asking him what he was planning to do for the future. Carl answered with a twinkle, "I don't know but what there's room for an energetic up-and-coming young man in Asia Minor."
"Dora will probably marry young. She's of the same type as Charlotta the Fourth she'll never miss her first chance for fear she might not get another." "Well; if she marries Ralph I hope he will be a little more up-and-coming than his brother Billy," mused Anne. "For instance," said Gilbert, laughing, "let us hope he will be able to propose on his own account.
Buisine?" cried Madeleine, in her usual state of hearty enjoyment of her situation. "You haven't met many as up-and-coming, have you now?" "I do not know the meaning of your adjective, Mademoiselle; but it is true that I have met few like your brother's wife." "I'm not Mademoiselle!" Madeleine was greatly amused at the idea.
Though the friends of Tutt & Tutt have made the acquaintance of Bonnie Doon only casually, they yet have seen enough of him to realize that he is an up-and-coming sort of young person with an elastic conscience and an ingratiating smile.
But I never saw a town that had such up-and-coming people as Gopher Prairie. Bresnahan you know the famous auto manufacturer he comes from Gopher Prairie. Born and brought up there! And it's a darn pretty town. Lots of fine maples and box-elders, and there's two of the dandiest lakes you ever saw, right near town! And we've got seven miles of cement walks already, and building more every day!
