"Ah said," said Learoyd, "gie us t' brass.
But what's a feller goin' to do for company? Go on; it's your deal." "Who kyeers fer th' deal? I d on't. Now, Joe, I says, t to th' ole lady, y' see, I says, a young man can't live up a dingy stairs on th' top floor al'ays, and never git no comp'ny. Can't do it. I don't want t' 'rink much, but I c ome here to git comp'ny.

"Now, get me those telegrams, if there are any, and tell me what I want to know."
As he polished his bald spot, his glance traveled from the stove to the table, and thence to Lorry, and he nodded approval. "Looks like you was expectin' comp'ny," he said, smiling. "Yep.

The Officer Commanding could not well refuse; for Benira was a Lord. There was an indignation-meeting of subalterns in the Mess Room, to call the Colonel pet names. "But the rale dimonstrashin," said Mulvaney, "was in B Comp'ny barrick; we three headin' it."

Very black night in India; ghazees coming yelling up the hill; nothing would stop them. Rifles cracking, Nepalese comp'ny busy with the bayonet, and in the thick of it the bugle goes "
She watched the busy carvers for some minutes, then went down to Violet's apartments in search of her. She found no one there but Agnes busied in putting away some clean clothes, fresh from the iron.
