porter

Coded references to risqué and sexual matters were catnip to the lyricists Lorenz Hart and Cole Porter.

But while that level of ‘haute couture’ is building the market, we want to be seen as more prêt-à-porter.

Porter was convicted and shortly after sentenced to death by a judge who compared him to a shark in a feeding frenzy.

The police found six eyewitnesses who reported seeing Anthony Porter at the pool that night and named him as the killer.

At that time, with the eyewitnesses all pointing at Porter, the case seemed open and shut.

The Café tender was asleep in his chair; the porter had gone off; the sentinel alone kept awake on his post.

To talk German was beyond the sweep of my dizziest ambition, but an Italian runner or porter instantly presented himself.

Arrived at the dépôt, I discharged my porter, sat down and waited for the place to open, with ample leisure for reflection.

Poindexter ordered his men to fall in, and they followed Porter, but at a more leisurely gait.

Porter and Poindexter are within eleven miles of the place, and Duffield expects to be attacked by morning.
