If that should be true she must be very, very careful. He must never guess it, never. She would be very cold and distant and polite. Not hail-fellow well-met with a "brother artist," like she had been yesterday. It was all very difficult indeed.
"'Thou canst put no soul into his bones, Thy brother alive to set; For the sleep was thine, and thy soul is mine, And, Lord Archibold, well-met! "'Two words to that! said the fearless Earl; 'The sleep was none of thine; For I dreamed of my brother all the night His soul brought the sleep to mine.
He had a persuasive, hail-fellow well-met air with him which appealed to customers of this sort, and they said to one another: "What's the good of throwing money away when you can get a coat and skirt at Lynn's that nobody knows don't come from Paris?" Mr.
It was not, I will frankly admit, a very righteous beginning to a young life to be hail-fellow well-met with a Gang of Deerstealers, and to go careering about the King's Forest in quest of Venison which belonged to the Crown.

An orchidaceous individuality this. With such personal refinement he was a man punctual and precise in his habits. Associating constantly with fashionable folk his naturally dignified behavior was increased. He was an aristocrat- -there is no other word and he did not care to be hail-fellow- well-met with the musicians. A certain primness and asperity did not make him popular.
