"Dick, we have made two enemies, that's sure," remarked Sam to his brother as they watched Flockley and Koswell depart. "It couldn't be helped if we have, Sam," was the reply.
"I ain't said anything, have I?" Healy came back smoothly. Yeager's quiet voice broke the silence that followed, while Phil was trying to voice the resentment in him. "You mean what we're all thinking, Brill, I reckon that she is the sort to forget herself when somebody needs her help. Ain't that it?" The eyes of the two met steadily in a clash of wills.

"Dan's so all-fired proud of that youngster he never lets a chance slip to tell we named him Daniel Gowdy Brill. Though Dan senior usually forgets to add the Brill."
