"O. K.," chuckled Jerry, as the Drifter shot far out of reach of their deluded confederates. "Do your level best, Jerry," spoke his father. The revenue men may have another airship in commission." "Oh, I guess not," retorted Jerry airily. "Say, what about the one these fellows had?" "They know and won't tell. Some of crowd will find it, though I told them if they did to dismantle it.
You boobs had better crank up your skates and make fast time. Guv'nor won't be at his office late to-day." "What " began Dick.

"I do." "Oh, Gillian is all right," affirmed Magda, dismissing the matter airily. "She's a gorgeous accompanist, anyway almost as good as Davilof himself. Which reminds me I must go home and rehearse my solo dance in the Swan-Maiden. I told Davilof I'd be ready for him at four o'clock; and it's half-past three now. I shall never get back to Hampstead through this ghastly fog in half an hour."

"Does that amuse you?" says she airily. "I dare say a perpetual riddle is interesting. One can never guess it." "As for that, I can read you easily enough," says Lady Rylton, with a superior air. "You are original, but yes I can read you." She could as easily have read a page of Sanscrit. "It is your originality I like.
