We rowed in close under the port bow of the sloop, and on the rail I made out a string of faded letters. I began excitedly to spell them out. "I s l oh, Island Queen! You see she did belong here. Probably she brought the original porcine Adam and Eve to the island." "Luckily forgot the snake, though!" remarked the Honorable Bertie with unlooked-for vivacity.
For instance, he would say eagerly, excitedly, "I once knew a man in New Zealand who hadn't a tooth in his head" here his animation would die out; a silent, reflective pause would follow, then he would say dreamily, and as if to himself, "and yet that man could beat a drum better than any man I ever saw."
His tone as to his employer was guarded, but not at all servile; and he made the impression of a man of ability accustomed to business, though modestly avowing his ignorance of rural affairs; independent, yet anxious to do his best with a great trust. After half an hour's discussion, Barton drew Victoria aside, and said to her excitedly that the new agent was "a capital fellow!"

"I think you have proved, Andrew, that this passenger on the Pilgrim and the owner of the Undine were one and the same person. The ring is a lady's ring. Probably it belonged to Quendale's wife."
"And you must get soup ready," he cried, standing over the old woman in his flannel pyjamas and waving his arms excitedly, while downstairs the cuckoo popped in and out of his door in the clock twelve times. Emma blinked at him in terror, and Mark pulled off all the bedclothes to convince the old woman that he was not playing a practical joke.

The arrival of Jimmie was hailed with manifestations of joy, as may well be supposed. The boys clustered around him excitedly, and even Uncle Ike, from the corral, sent forth a he-haw greeting.
I know you're prepared to argue," she said, rather excitedly, "but it's no use. I was right all the time." I yielded. "You're always right, my dear," said I.
