dear old chap (That's Neil Simpkins all over. A dear old chap in a thousand ways, but when it comes to showing some business sense, a complete chump. ART Vancouver); sterling fellow (I eyed him narrowly. I didn't like his looks. Mark you, I don't say I ever had, much, because Nature, when planning this sterling fellow, shoved in a lot more lower jaw than was absolutely necessary and made the eyes a bit too keen and piercing for one who was neither an Empire builder nor a traffic policeman. (P.G. Wodehouse) ART Vancouver); stout fellow (And one had to admit that it took a lot of squaring, for dear old Bicky, though a stout fellow and absolutely unrivalled as an imitator of bull-terriers and cats, was in many ways one of the most pronounced fatheads that ever pulled on a suit of gents' underwear. (P.G. Wodehouse) ART Vancouver) |
