"I seem to know you. Maine says you are such a splendid shot. Are you?" "Oh, I can pull a trigger, and I can hit something sometimes," said the young officer. "Sometimes!" put in Archie. "Why, he never misses.

And now I was bowing before her, heard her tremulous murmur of "Peregrine!" and answered back as tremulously, "Diana!" and so, yielding place to others, I passed on, to bow and smile and chatter inanities with such of the guests as were of my acquaintance, but yearning for chance of speech with her alone.
"I beg your pardon, I think you said March?" said the Colonel, looking very much surprised. "I am the Earl of March, sir, at Colonel Wolfe's service," said the nobleman, bowing. "My friend, Mr. Morris, is so intimate with me, that, after dinner, we are quite like brothers." Why is not all Tunbridge Wells by to hear this? thought Morris.
Silent, slow, and solemn; bowing over still further his chronically broken back, he toiled away, as if toil were life itself, and the heavy beating of his hammer the heavy beating of his heart.

"Fair youth," the queen replied smiling, "I cannot grant you the leave you ask, for I guard you in my crystal palace, to make of you my lover."
"Worthy lady," answered Hiram, without confusion, bowing to her, "time will show who was the faithful and who the evil servant of his holiness." Ramses stopped suddenly before Hiram. "Hast Thou the letters of Herhor to Assyria?" inquired he. The Phoenician drew from under his robe a package, and in silence handed it to the pharaoh. "This is what I needed!" exclaimed the pharaoh in triumph.
He gave one quick look at Miss Sanford; their eyes met, and hers, too, were full of trouble and something she could not express. "Excuse me, but I want to inquire what this means," he said, and, bowing quietly, he turned to the gate where Blake still stood looking after Warner, who had halted farther up the row.
