The longer I live the more I condemn and deplore a rackety life for any girl, and therefore if I do what I myself think right by her and not what others may think right, she shall never be a London butterfly.
"Lady-John-Russell"
MacCarthy, Desmond
Seem like this room's awful rackety, the fire a-poppin' an' tumblin', an' me breathin' like a porpoise.
"Sonny, A Christmas Guest"
