It was something of a set-down when the latter, taking some papers from his breast-pocket, handed them to him, saying: 'Only these! Leonard took them in silence and looked at them. All were requests for payment of debts due by his son. In each case the full bill was enclosed.
I wish that you would try to get the better of it; it is very disadvantageous to you, and very trying to other people!" He takes this severe set-down in silence. The trees that surround the garden are slowly darkening. The shadows that intervene between the round masses of the sycamore-leaves deepen, deepen. A bat flitters dumbly by.
'Well, my dear, he answered, 'look how you worry all the time! If you'd only have what I call a quiet set-down and a chat, without being always on the fidget, always looking either at the glass or at the clock, one might not have that feeling. Her colour rose, and tears came to her eyes. 'Oh, then you are glad when I'm gone! She pouted.
Ali should know " Rip reached for the inter-com mike. "Engines!" "So you are alive?" Ali's voice had a bite in it. "About time you're contacting. Where are we?

"No, madam the Church of God; the great cathedral-church of the universe; of which Church I trust the Church of England is a little Jesus-chapel." "God bless you, Mr. Armstrong!" cried the schoolmaster. The colonel likewise showed some sign of emotion. Mrs. Cathcart looked set-down and indignant. Percy stared. Adela and Harry looked at each other.
What in that anonymous piece you call a 'set-down' I call a 'falsehood. You ought to know that I was a party in all public acts and writings, and that I never intend to withdraw from all the responsibility connected therewith.
