Dick's back was against the uncompleted masonry. "Could I eh count on you for eh very absolute silence?" "I talk like that parrot in the story," Dick answered. "You eh know a little now of Sialpore, Mr. Blaine. You eh understand how easily eh rumors get about. A little eh foundation and eh up-side-down pyramids of fancy eh? You comprehend me?" "Sure, I get you."
Peace has turned the world up-side-down. We're walking on our heads. You're just out of hospital, but you'll know what I mean when you've been a week in London." "But nothing of what you've been saying applies to Adair Easterday," he objected. "He wasn't a profiteer in khaki; he wasn't even in khaki. He made nothing; he lost nearly everything he had.
Once decided upon, it was highly essential that the combined operation should begin without further delay. But it was now found that the army transports had been loaded, so to speak, up-side-down, with guns and munitions buried under tents and supplies.
If Eksaw want to be a man, and be boss, why she no put on skirts and be a man?" Then Dr. Ewing laugh and say: "O you up-side-down people." Why all people say Chinese make all things to stand on honorable heads, make honorable insides outsides, make honorable top sides down sides? Truly these things I cannot to understand.

No letter should contain erasures under any circumstances. The stamp should be placed exactly in the right-hand corner of the envelope; it must neither be up-side-down, nor slanting, nor in any way carelessly affixed. Negligence in these matters evinces a rudeness to the person to whom you write, as hinting that you think anything will do.
He would have perceived that he was enacting the part of an inverted Don Quixote; a character grotesque enough when planted on its own erratic legs, but hopelessly ridiculous when made to stand on its head and defy its windmills up-side-down.
And as for escape by rowing quickly, that is not possible. In their own element they swim much faster than your canoes, and when they come up to you they will turn your boats up-side-down with far more ease than you can drive it along; and then the frightful scene will begin, from which you cannot escape."
"Why, it is you who are up-side-down," he said; "how in the world did you get up here?" "Down here, you mean," corrected the Duchess, with dignity. "I mean nothing of the kind," he said, silently, while his nose twinkled with amusement; "this country is up, and not down." "What country is it?" inquired Bredenbutta, much perplexed by such an absurd statement.
"Who are you?" asked Bredenbutta, as soon as she could find breath to speak. The young man kept quiet and answered: "My name is Upsydoun." "I think you are," laughed Bredenbutta. "You think I am what?" demanded the young man, the voice coming from his ear. "Up-side-down," she replied. At this retort the tears rolled down his cheeks with joy.
