"I will not, for one," says Bobby, doggedly, "I never made out a conundrum in my life, except, 'What is most like a hen stealing?" "It is not much like that," say I, demurely, "and, in fact, when one comes to think of it, it can hardly be called a conundrum at all!"
All the while the men tugged doggedly at the oars, heeding neither the waves that broke over them and flooded the boat, nor the surf that often nearly knocked the oars from their hands. And what of Jack and me?

He walked homeward in a blinding snowstorm, reaching the ferry by dusk. The cabins were filled with comfortable souls, who studied him curiously. His head was still in such a whirl that he felt confused. All the wonder of the twinkling lights of the river in a white storm passed for nothing. He trudged doggedly on until he reached the flat. There he entered and found the room warm.
You've got to fight this thing, I say." "You can't drag us into law unless we're willing to go," stated Davis, doggedly. "We've taken their money and the papers have been passed and that settles it. We haven't done anything different than the others have done in this state." "No, and that's the trouble with this state," cried Converse, with passion.
"You must ask Jay Gardiner for the money, then," he replied, doggedly, "and instruct Antoinette to hand it to me in the reading-room, and that, too, ere you step into your carriage." "Is that a threat?" She had hardly time to ask the question, ere she saw Antoinette coming hurriedly toward her.

Meanwhile Schmidt had gone into the back shop, where Dumnoff was still doggedly working, making up for the time he had lost by coming late in the morning.
His words came sadly, but doggedly, with a grim finality, as if he gave himself up to the course he was following as something he knew was inevitable. The faintness of despair came over her. Only the narrow table was between them, yet all at once, with the mention of the ring, he seemed a long way off. What was this terrible obsession that outweighed every other consideration with him?

"I think you might give me a little, just to get along." "I shall not give you a cent. You have no claim upon me. I have already said that I no longer look upon you as a brother."
