Well, this one is better dressed, and p'raps a trifler taller; and in the face he don't favour him noways at all, sir. No, not when I come to look again, 'e don't seem to favour him noways." "Jackass!" said I, and I think the greatest stickler for manners will admit the epithet to have been justified.
Deacon Lancy, he'd rather see the Old Boy comin' into Sunday-school class any time than Bachelder; for he's quiet, the little bachelder is, but dry as a herrin'. So the Deacon thought he'd stick him on distances. The Deacon is a great stickler on distances. "'How fur, Bachelder, says he, 'did Adam and Eve go when they was turned out of the garden of Eden? says he.
"He has the reputation of being a stickler for justice." "My dear, I know it," replied Miss Remson, in a hurt voice. "I felt utterly crushed after I had read his note. There was nothing more to be done unless I resigned. I did not wish to do so. I have every right to retain my position here. It is my living and I do a great deal for my sister's two sons, whom I am helping put through college.
He was a great stickler for proprieties, yet he seemed to feel that a minister's word was law Well ! God was still above ! The benediction held a tenderness that fairly compelled the waiting congregation to attend with their hearts. "Let's go over there and hear that girl play," suggested Laurie suddenly, "Church is out and we'll make her play the bells. They're simply great. She's some player!"
It must seem unpardonable. I've been busy every minute over things that absolutely couldn't be avoided." "Of course. Of course." The words were spoken soothingly, but without conviction. "We men understand. It's Lady Beddow who Such events are women's great occasions. She's a stickler for form. As you say, you can explain later But that wasn't what I called you up about." Tabs stifled a yawn.
Preux, to whom in a transport of passion she has yielded up her honor. But the Baron d'Etange is an implacable stickler for rank and she is a dutiful daughter; whence her marriage to the elderly infidel, Wolmar, and the well-known moral ending of the novel.
"There, you've said it all over again," interrupted Mrs Larrabel, with an unwonted frown. "But then," continued Stickler, regardless of the interruption, "a broken leg, or a rifled pocket and stunned person, or a cut windpipe, may be applicable to the argument in hand without being applied to Mr Twitter." "Surely," said Mrs Loper, who deemed the reply unanswerable.
It showed that Ulster was solid behind Carson; and the unanimity was emphasised rather than disturbed by a little handful of cranks, calling themselves "Protestant Home Rulers," who met on the 24th of October at the village of Ballymoney "to protest against the lawless policy of Carsonism." The principal stickler for propriety of conduct in public life on this occasion was Sir Roger Casement.
She seemed to know everybody in Europe, and about those everybodies the wickedest stories. The Countess of Castlewood, ordinarily a very demure, severe woman, and a stickler for the proprieties, smiled at the very worst of these anecdotes; the girls looked at one another and laughed at the maternal signal; the boys giggled and roared with especial delight at their sisters' confusion.
They were darkening now and she put up two fingers with a little pressing movement to her temple. "You're a great little woman," reiterated Mr. Latz, rather riveting even Mrs. Samstag's suspicion that here was no great stickler for variety of expression.
