"I might feel a bit sour about it, too," he replied, "if it were not that I haven't much pride left in these days, considering the show of physical retaliation I have made against Dr. Fu-Manchu." "A home-thrust, Weymouth!" snapped Nayland Smith, with one of those rare boyish laughs of his.
"Well, what are you going to do?" said Ernest, as he stood with clenched fist before him. "If you are going to strike me, do it at once, and get it over. I have no wish to stay here all night, waiting to be attacked by you." While Ernest was speaking, Blackall was considering what he would do.

When the Tenement House Commission of 1894 sat in this city, considering means of making them safer and better, it received the most practical help and advice from the firemen, especially from Chief Bresnan, whose death occurred only a few days after he had testified as a witness. The recommendations upon which he insisted are now part of the general tenement-house law.
The man that had his horse killed in the battle, caught the best horse in the band, threw the saddle on him and started for camp, considering we had done a good day's work.

"The command has arrived!" shouted one of the boys.
The unattached ladies put their heads together and discussed her with little peals of laughter. To all of these things she remained indifferent.
