"And the upshot of the whole affair is," continued Uncle Jack, "Captain Lennard has dismissed Capstan from his ship, giving him such a discharge certificate that I don't think he'll get another second-mate's place in a hurry!
The salesman was out of practice in handling a gun but it was great fun, and the upshot of it all was that he "landed" the order he wanted. This method is pleasant but wasteful. The salesman never uses it except as a last resource. He talks in terms of that man's work, and he tries to sell only where he believes the sale will result in mutual satisfaction.
We'll begin by having him heah to dinneh this evening, him and the otheh young man what's his name? Adams." And the upshot of the matter was a dainty note which found its way by the hands of the private-car porter to Winton, laboring manfully at his task of repairing the landslide damages. "Mr. Somerville Darrah's compliments to Mr. John Winton and Mr.
"I thought you said he did not propose?" "Well, no; honestly, he didn't. We had a little conversation, and the upshot was, he has promised to go to England for six months." Mrs. Rolleston was not a proud woman, and the relief was so great, that she folded Cecil in a silent embrace.

The upshot of what they are able to say, when you ask them why this is true, is that one simply reaches a time of life when one "quits reading," as one ceases to dance, or cools in interest toward the latest fashions in overcoats.
A glance at the prisons told him that the man's words were true, and for a second he stared in stupefied amazement at the severed bonds before he rushed back up the slope. He ran at full speed to the place where U Saw was placidly chewing betel and waiting the upshot of the affair.
Ashton-Kirk laid a hand upon his shoulder. "Imagination is a thing that is vitally necessary in this sort of work," said he. "But it must be held in check by reason. The great trouble with an amateur is that he reasons up to a certain point; then he allows his imagination to take a long leap toward a result. The upshot is that his results have seldom anything to support them.
Emmeline and her husband held a council that night, and resolved that, whatever the issue of Louise's appeal to her stepfather, this was a very good opportunity for getting rid of their guest. They would wait till Louise made known the upshot of her negotiations. It seemed probable that Mr. Higgins would spare them the unpleasantness of telling Miss Derrick she must leave.
"But the upshot of it was that we had to hold another consultation on the point; and I really believe that had it not been for a happy thought of mine, we should have been consulting there yet." "I wish we had!" again interrupted Peterkin with a sigh.
