But if I went away you wouldn't mind " "Yes, I would." "But you're so much stronger." "I like being strongest." And then and there he expounded the doctrine of the Survival, and Rufus began to shiver all over like a frightened pony. "I think it's perfectly beastly. What'll happen to me? Anyone can lick me. I wouldn't have a chance."
"The Boches are shelling the road just ahead pretty heavily this morning. They got a lorry a few minutes ago and I've had orders to stop traffic until things quiet down a bit." "I'm afraid we'll have to take to the mud," said my cicerone resignedly. "And after last night's rain it will be beastly going.
When one of them threw himself into the Baron's chair and displayed that beastly annoying habit of continually wriggling and creaking the chair, meanwhile shouting to his companion at the top of his lungs, I lost all patience.
"I don't know whether I do or not I don't know enough about it." "You mustn't," he said, eagerly "you mustn't disagree with me!" Then, after a pause, "Do you know that I'm always hearing about you, Miss Atherstone, down in those villages?" Marion blushed furiously, then laughed. "I can't imagine why." "Oh yes, you can. I hate charity generally. It's a beastly mess.

"Indeed, I don't know that I had better dwell on that hypothesis at all; it's all very well to talk of facing the worst; but in a case of this kind a man's first duty is to his own nerve.

"I was very foolish to cry," she said. "I have quite recovered now, so please forget it! It was very kind of you to take my part a little while ago especially as you couldn't have been really in sympathy with me. Thank you very much!" Again he made that gesture of imperious impatience.

You see, last night at the dance Raymond Oliver, he's the tall dark boy who looks as if he had Indian blood in him, but he says he's not really, well, we were sitting out together, and he told me all about himself, how unhappy he is at home, and how he hates being out here. They've put him into some beastly mining business.

May gave him a glance of comprehension, and he saw her whisper to his mother, who nodded sympathetically; then she murmured an excuse to Mrs. van der Luyden, and rose from her seat just as Marguerite fell into Faust's arms.
"You couldn't unless you saw us or were told. But now you know." "Do you look beastly too?" "Vile," he laughed. "I'm glad I didn't think of going on the stage," she said, childish yet very feminine unreason combining with atavistic puritanism. "I shouldn't like to paint my face." "You get used to it," said Paul, the experienced. "I think it horrid to paint your face."
Chunky pretended not to see Rector. Riding close up to him, the fat boy softly gave his rattlesnake imitation. Ned Rector made a high dive, landing head first in a thicket of mesquite brush, while his pony was left kicking and bucking on the trail. Stacy was having more trouble with his own pony.
