I never heard a man take the entrails of Alexander the Great in vain before; but this was an ordinary expletive with Don Ercolo. He belonged to the Italian Language, though I suspected he had a dash of the Spanish in him; and many a Gay Bout over the choicest of Wines have I had with him at his Inn, as their College-halls are sometimes called. He could drink like a Fish, and fight like a Paladin.

Mazeroux plunged both hands into the crowd of papers that encumbered the iron shelf. "Well, Mazeroux, hand it over." "What?" "The diary." "I can't Chief." "What's that?" "It's gone." Don Luis stifled an oath. The drab-cloth diary, which the engineer had placed in the safe before their eyes, had disappeared. Mazeroux shook his head. "Dash it all! So they knew about that diary!"

"No, you cannot have it," said Uncle Wiggily, and, as quick as a wink, he popped the pie into his valise and closed it up. "Now you can't get it!" the rabbit said. "Then I'll get you and the monkey!" cried the alligator, as he made a dash for both of them. "Not me!

"We must attack at once," said Chase. "We can take them by surprise. No killing, mind you. They're not looking for anything to happen outside the walls. It will be easy if we are careful. No shooting unless necessary.
