The man underneath twisted his red, wrinkled neck and bit Bob's forearm savagely. The boy's fingers closed like a vice on the hairy throat and tightened. His other fist beat a merciless tattoo on the bruised and bleeding face. "Take him off!" Bandy presently gasped. Dud appointed himself referee. With difficulty he unloosed the fingers embedded in the flesh of the throat. "Had enough, Bandy?

"I beg your pardon, madam; I am not a spy," said the young serjeant, formally saluting. "Don't bandy words with me. Tell me, I insist!" "The general was afraid something might happen to you.

"Oh! s-s-shucks! you n-n-need a pair of specs I g-g-guess, Bandy!" jeered Toby. "Fetch the bag out here," ordered Max; and as he was the recognized head of the club, his word in a case of this kind was law.
I contented myself with bowing; when the Secretary spoke to me on such high matters, it was for me to listen, and not to bandy opinions with him. "Yes, we are much threatened," said he. "Well, Mr Dale, I shall trust that we may have other meetings. You are to be found at Mr Darrell's lodging? You may look to hear from me, sir." He moved away, cutting short my thanks with a polite wave of his hand.
"Thou art a devil to do this thing, and a blockhead to think it, O miserable friar!" exclaimed Adam, roused from all his gentleness.
