It was the only clock of its kind in Sequoia; hence folk set their watches by it, or rather by the whistle on Cardigan's mill. With a due appreciation of the important function of this clock toward his fellow-citizens, old Zeb Curry, the chief engineer and a stickler for being on time, was most meticulous in his whistle-blowing.
Murphy, by the means aforesaid, had transferred it, succeeded in an action; we mention this particular, because, as this brother attorney was a very violent party man, and a professed stickler for the public, to suffer any injury to have been done to that, would have been highly inconsistent with his principles. This gentleman, therefore, came to Mr.
Anyway she could alleviate his worries to a certain extent by carrying Theresa off. She would do so at once. Was there an evening train from Stourmouth, which stopped at Paulton Halt? Well if there wasn't she must get out at Marychurch, and drive from there. She only trusted she would be in time to dress for dinner. Harriet was such a stickler for etiquette.
He was a kind-hearted man enough, as he never worried the ship's company when there was no occasion; but, at the same time, he was what you call a great stickler for duty made no allowances for neglect or disobedience of orders, although he would wink at any little skylarking, walking aft, shutting his eyes, and pretending not to see or hear it.

I spoke directly to the sovereign, thereby violating etiquette, my friend told me afterwards, laughing; and Bonaparte was a stickler for precedent.

"Hat's off to the man with the brain." "But is it quite the game?" suggested Davenport, a stickler for etiquette. "Is it the game for Rudd to drag us in to back him up?

Of course, if the town took hold we could get another engine, and maybe a better alarm system. Constable Stickler can't always be depended on." "Still, he's done pretty good." "That's right.
