"I am going to Montreal to-night, for one." She gave me a swift glance, which I could not understand. "So?" she said. "Why so soon?" "Orders," said I briefly. "But perhaps I may not obey orders for once. There is another reason." "And that one?" "I am to be married at six." I turned to enjoy her consternation. Indeed, there was an alternate white and red passed across her face!
Sir Willmott briefly apologised for his travel-worn and soiled habiliments, and displayed a due portion of surprise and indignation at being torn from his bride in the midst of the marriage ceremony.
But there could be a strictly local hot war. The pilot said sharply: "Something down below!" The co-pilot fairly leaped into his right-hand seat, his safety belt buckled in half a heartbeat.

He did so briefly, after the manner of a succinct report limited to essentials: "Three months before the crime, M. Fauville wrote a series of letters to one of his friends, M.

If you will look at p. 240 of the fourth edition of the "Origin," you will find it very briefly given with two extremes of the peacock and black grouse. A more general statement is given at p. 101, or at p. 89 of the first edition, for I have long entertained this view, though I have never had space to develop it.
That was practically a snail's pace, compared with hyperdrive. The time for the test had come. He spoke briefly with his friends and assistants in the control tower; then he checked his figures through one last time and requested blastoff clearance. A moment later the count-down began, and he began setting up for departure.
When this and that restorative had been resorted to with happy effect, and Little Wolf no longer required undivided attention, at her suggestion Antoinette La Clare briefly related the story of their escape from Bloody Jim.
