The fire from the windows was fierce and fatal. Men dropped here and there, until Jack called to us to lie down. We were at this time behind the mansion. As we lay, I saw Jack walking to and fro, and coolly lighting a pipe. Our company lay to the left a little, and away from the rest of the regiment. I called to Jack: "Let us rush it, Jack, and batter down the back door."
As soon as this worthy had ascended, Edmund coolly made for the ladder, but he was motioned back by a sweep of the arm, as the landlord loosely fastened down the door.

Wild coolly stepped from the post. "Up with your hands, you sneaking coyotes!" he cried in a ringing voice. "I reckon ther jig is up now. Arietta has paid ther toll!"

Buckingham bowed, but made no reply. "It is true, madam," said Rochester, bowing in his turn, "that Parry is the model of servants; but, madam, he is no longer young, and we laugh only when we see cheerful objects. Is an old man a gay object?" "Enough, my lord," said the princess, coolly; "the subject of conversation is unpleasant to me."
It's some of my partner's, Grigsby's, stock. I suppose he couldn't stand the push." Once more the president listened.
