"That worldly woman! quitted this world for ever!" "Yes," answered the stranger; "she caught cold by wearing a new-fashioned dress that did not half cover her, wasted all away, and died the miserablest object you ever heard of."
You see, Sir, my Great Great Great Grandmother has on the new-fashioned Petticoat, except that the Modern is gather'd at the Waste; my Grandmother appears as if she stood in a large Drum, whereas the Ladies now walk as if they were in a Go-Cart. If you please to fall back a little, because 'tis necessary to look at the three next Pictures at one View; these are three Sisters.
A young fellow calls the other day, when I happened to be in, and he wants me to buy a new-fashioned sort of clock of him. `Well, if I do, says I, `what'll you allow me for my old clock, then, as part payment? So he goes over and looks at it, and turns up his nose at it, and says, `'Tain't worth the trouble of taking away: you shall have one of the right sort cheap; that clumsy, old- fashioned thing'll never do you no good. `Well, says I, `that's just as people find.
There are crowds of people whirled through our streets on these new-fashioned cars, with their witch-broomsticks overhead, if they don't come from Salem, they ought to, and not more than one in a dozen of these fish-eyed bipeds thinks or cares a nickel's worth about the miracle which is wrought for their convenience.
"'Twas only little Povl crying; but how can they make silk of glass?" asked she suddenly, "glass is so brittle!" "Ay, 'tis the new-fashioned silk though, and may be true enough. If you see a scrap of silk amongst the rags 'tis nearly always broken." "And what queer thing's glass made of?" "Ay, you may well ask that if I could only tell you.
Why, that negro's death changed the whole channel of my convictions." The speaker had turned and thrown up his arm with frowning earnestness; he dropped it and smiled at himself. "Do not mistake me for one of your new-fashioned Philadelphia 'negrophiles'; I am a merchant, my-de'-seh, a good subject of His Catholic Majesty, a Creole of the Creoles, and so forth, and so forth. Come!"
"You forget you are a lieutenant." "Well, so I did, Peter, and that's the truth, but it's the force of habit. Now let's make our dinner. It's a new-fashioned way though, of making a meal, lying down; but however, it's economical, for it must take longer to swallow the victuals." "The Romans used to eat their meals lying down, so I have read, O'Brien."
She is either a very prodigal woman, or richer than she would be thought, by her buying of the best things, and laying out much money in new-fashioned pewter; and, among other things, a new-fashioned case for a pair of snuffers, which is very pretty; but I could never have guessed what it was for, had I not seen the snuffers in it. 24th.
"These new-fashioned ships are all at odds and ends, it seems to me, in their accommodation below. Give me one of the old sort, where everything was really plain sailing and one hadn't to dive down here and climb up there to get for'ard or aft!" "Ah," rejoined the lieutenant, holding out a hand to guide him, "you'd get used to it in time."
And Cousin Lodema had jest observed, "that the new-fashioned frames with legs wuzn't good for nothin', and she didn't like the color of gray, it looked too melancholy, and would be apt to depress our feelin's too much, and would be tryin' to our complexions."
