I have planned my speech pretty well right through; it will be very effective withering, I fancy but it's just these plaguy blue-books that won't quite tally with what I've got to say. I must go through them again though " "You had better have read the papers first, and settled your speech afterwards," suggested his wife.
Well, the nobodies go together too, and sit together, and I've observed these nobodies are the pleasantest people at table, and they have the pleasantest places, because they sit down with each other, and are jist like yourself, plaguy glad to get some one to talk to. Somebody can only visit somebody, but nobody can go anywhere, and therefore nobody sees and knows twice as much as somebody does.
"It appears an old Minister came there once, to hold a meetin' at his house well, after meetin' was over, the Elder took the minister all over his farm, which is pretty tidy, I tell you; and he showed him a great Ox he had, and a swingeing big Pig, that weighed some six or seven hundred weight, that he was plaguy proud of, but he never offered the old minister anything to eat or drink.
We sometimes wonder from what sky they fall. It is the very error of the position of our lodging; its horoscopy was ill calculated, being just situate in a medium a plaguy suburban mid-space fitted to catch idlers from town or country. We are older than we were, and age is easily put out of its way.
Johnnie Morgan was not seriously wounded. A sword-cut on the head had stunned him for a while, and now laid him, sick, dizzy, and bleeding, on the bank; but he was able to tell the admiral that he felt nothing but a "plaguy bad headache." We will leave him cooling in the dewy morning, and see what has become of Master Windybank and some of those associated with him.
"Nay, I'm done with it, here is no fear of knives in the back." "Are you sleepy, Martin?" "No, but 'tis plaguy dark." "But you are there," says she, "so I do not fear the dark." "To-morrow I will make a lamp." Here she fell silent and I think to sleep, but as for me I lay long, oppressed by my thoughts.
No, my friend, says I, 'the meat that's at the top of the barrel, is sometimes not so good as that that's a little further down; the upper and lower eends are plaguy apt to have a little taint in 'em, but the middle is always good. Our folks will insure all creation for half nothin', but I never heerd tell of a country being insured agin rich men.
It's so plaguy smooth and high polished, the hands slip off; you can't get a grip of it.
But then that plaguy, jealous, suspicious, old vinegar-faced Honour, and her partner Pride as penny-wise and pound-foolish a she-skinflint as herself have the monopoly of the article. Aristophanes, in his comedy of "Peace," insinuates a beautiful allegory by only suffering that goddess, though in fact she is his heroine, to appear as a mute. She takes care never to open her lips.
"I am trying with all my might," replied Joe, "but he's so plaguy strong he won't come, hang him!" "He'll get away if you don't mind!" continued Glenn, evincing much animation in his tones and gestures. "I'll be drenched if he does!" said Joe, with his arm, to which the rod was lashed, stretched out, while he endeavoured to plant his feet firmly in the sand.
