"Yes, it is, Mr. Hammond," said Bill. "Something's happened, I reckon," observed Mr. Hammond, and he rode down to the river's edge with the others to meet the excited courier.
Sally had long been able to behave as somebody other than a workgirl, and the servants were so well-behaved that they did not make any attempt to be too much at ease with her. Sally, moreover, looked down with all the contempt of her class upon women who worked in domestic service SKIVVIES! She was drawlingly refined with them, but not grotesquely so, and they respected her.
When the others had departed he called Sandy's dog, fed it from the scraps he could gather, and comforted himself with the companionship of the faithful collie that was too wise to tempt Providence when Mary was around. Martin whistled a second time and then called softly: "Bob! oh Bob!" There was no response. Again the man spoke drawlingly and fondly: "Bob! oh, Bob!"
As soon as he was able he went forth to find his rescuer, and met him suddenly on turning a corner of the street. Before he could stammer out the gratitude that was in his heart, Jopp, eyeing him with a sneering smile, said drawlingly: "If you'd had your hair cut like that I couldn't have got you out, could I? Holy, what a sight! Next time I'll take you by the scruff, putty-face bah!"
"I guess that it can't be done," Christabel said, drawlingly. "See, stranger?" Reginald Henson fairly gasped. As he turned round the ludicrous mixture of cunning and confusion, anger and vexatious alarm on his face caused the girl to smile. "I I beg your pardon," he stammered.

And after a time Barbara forgot her warm face and the too plain message there in his eyes, in her growing excitement over that recitation.
Even Lady Bloomerly is in suspense, and even Charles Annesley's heart beats. But ah! Even the young Guardsman, who paid her Ladyship for her ivory franks by his idle presence, even he must have felt, callous as those young Guardsmen are.

"Of course the magistrate will accept suitable bail," said Rider, not imagining that the prisoner could find any one to go security for him to the large sum likely to be asked.
Pilling, the teacher, sat near the stove in the little square school-room, listening to the irrepressible hum of his restless pupils and the predominating monotonous sound of a small girl's voice reciting multiplication tables. "Three times three are nine," she whined, drawlingly; "three times four are twelve, three times " The little girl with the braided hair stopped short.
An old, grizzled man in a corner of the fireplace where the brisk flames leaped high among the logs, and who seemed to have already eaten his breakfast and was busily stoning an axe blade, looked up as Nan and her uncle approached, saying: "Seen Ged Raffer lately, Hen?"
