My father suddenly drew in and pished a little, for he saw that he was caught in the web of his own eloquence. Then Roland took down from the wall his son's sword. Stealing to the cradle, he laid it in its sheath by the infant's side, and glanced from my father to us with a beseeching eye.
Swithin was still present, having lingered later than his wont, for he felt in want of exercise. On hearing this suggestion, he 'pished. A pretty pass young men were coming to! His own liver was out of order, and he could not bear the thought of anyone else drinking prune brandy. He went away almost immediately, saying to Soames: "And how's your wife?
It told of an American, an art student, who at the moment was on a tramping tour through the north of Italy. It was an ugly story. Jadwin pished and pshawed, refusing to believe it, condemning it as ridiculous exaggeration, but somehow it appealed to an uncompromising sense of the probable; it rang true.
My father had pished and tushed and pressed for a bark roof; but Ted, in his bush wisdom, had insisted on the prosaic 'tin, as a catchment area for rain-water to be stored in the two ship's tanks.

"And what title will you get when you marry her, Fitz?" asked a fourth, who was rather ignorant as to the phases under which the British peerage develops itself. Fitzgerald pshawed, and pished, and poohed; and then, breaking away from them, rode home.
"She said she didn't think there was any moral expression in his face," said Hugh, by way of settling the matter. "Moral expression!" cried the doctor, "moral expression! and what if there isn't, you Elf! what if there isn't?" "I shouldn't care what other kind of expression it had," said Fleda, colouring a little. Mr. Rossitur "pished" rather impatiently.
"The governor pished a little, and would rather I had come to live with him in the old Hall, and take to farming. Time enough for that, eh? By Jove, Randal, how pleasant a thing is life in London! Do you go to Almack's to-night?" "No; Wednesday is a holiday in the House. There is a great parliamentary dinner at Mr. Egerton's.
