"Hey! Here's Drake -says he's going to slip home on us!" called one of the tormentors. More men came out of the place, some of them staggering. With the new arrivals came one whom Dick and his friends rightly guessed to be Miller -a thickset man, with swaggering manner, insolent expression and rough voice. "What's this about your going home, Drake?" demanded one of the new arrivals.
The evening came to an end at last, and the new arrivals accompanied their visitors to the veranda as they started to their cabin for the night. Clay was asking Mr. Langham when he wished to visit the mines, and the others were laughing over farewell speeches, when young Langham startled them all by hurrying down the length of the veranda and calling on them to follow.
He was bereft of words for a moment, and in that moment she escaped, having passed him on deftly to one of the later arrivals. "Lady Mackinnor," she said, "I am sure that you must have heard of Mr. David Courtlaw. Permit me to make him known to you Mr. Courtlaw Lady Mackinnor."
He was looking over the day's arrivals on the register when I concluded that it was about time to do something. I was standing directly beside him lighting a cigar. I turned quickly on him and deliberately trod on the man's patent leather shoe. He faced me furiously at not getting any apology.

They were the finished products of the philosophic schools of the most famous universities, while he was supposed by them to be teaching some new kind of philosophy. Philosophers were apt to be itinerant, and St. Paul was looked upon as but another of these new arrivals.
Enemies of all these, fighting, snapping, and snarling, with the lust of killing deep born in them from their wolf progenitors, packs of fierce huskies trailed in from all sides. There was no cessation in the battle of the fangs. It began with the first brute arrivals. It continued from dawn through the day, and around the campfires at night.

New guests, like Yorke himself, flocked in, and stood and stared, or paraded the room; while the less recent arrivals laughed and chatted together noisily, with their backs to the fires of which there were no less than three alight or lolled at full length upon the damask sofas.
Something must be done, and done promptly, to stem the rising tide of ladies, or the Châlet des Pins and Terry and I with it, would be swamped. I looked at Terry, he looked at me, as we rose like mechanical figures to indicate our hosthood to the new arrivals. They were Americans; I could tell by their chins.
