"She wasn't MUCH hurt," said Davy, defiantly. "'Course, if she'd been killed I'd have been real sorry, Anne. But the Keiths ain't so easy killed. They're like the Blewetts, I guess. Herb Blewett fell off the hayloft last Wednesday, and rolled right down through the turnip chute into the box stall, where they had a fearful wild, cross horse, and rolled right under his heels.
Yet they made the paper sell, and if Orion had but realized his possession he might have turned his brother's talent into capital even then." One evening in 1858, the boy, consumed with wanderlust, asked his mother for five dollars to start on his travels. He failed to receive the money, but he defiantly announced that he would go "anyhow."
In fact I wasn't sure till that walk along the shore. I arranged that to make quite certain." "You arranged it!" I exclaimed. "The deuce you did, Miss Rendall!" She laughed defiantly. "I was dying to make sure! So when I saw you coming towards the house, I rushed into my things and went out to meet you.
Strumley, as umpire, hearkened to its clamor. "Bettina!" he called, as that young lady came calmly abreast of the car, "wait a moment. I must speak with you." She started with a half-frightened exclamation; but met his look, at first defiantly, scornfully, then hesitatingly, faltering as she tried to take another step onward. "Bettina!" Mr.

A man, sitting on the lawn, paused in the act of taking a cigarette from his case to look at her. His interest pleased me. I was human, and it flattered my vanity to know that I counted with this woman. "What desperate thing were you going to say?"
Fain would she and Eleanor have discussed the situation, but Jean's blue eyes glanced heedfully and defiantly at them, and, moreover, the young gentleman in question, after that one error, effaced himself, and was forgotten for the time in the novelty of the scenes around.
She looked at him a little defiantly and laughed: and although she was joking, he felt most strongly that it would not have cost her much to say it seriously and almost to believe it. But some pleasant memory tickled her: for she burst out laughing and looked at Christophe and kissed him loudly without any concern for the people about, who did not seem to be in the least surprised by it.

But to sneak her in like this! Consumed with shame, he put on a front as brazen as his nature would permit. Fleur was smiling a little defiantly; his mother's startled face was changing quickly to the impersonal and gracious.
Rattar looked at him defiantly. "No evidence there," he said with a cunning shake of his head, "you can go on guessing!" "Would you like to smoke a pipe?" asked Carrington suddenly. The man's eyes gleamed. "By God, yes!" "You can have one if you tell us about Sir Reginald. We've got you anyhow, and there will be evidence enough there too when we've put it together."
