Quite prosily the Senior Surgeon began to butter a piece of toast. But the little twinkle around his eyes belied in some way the utter prosiness of the act. "For a little trip," he confided amiably. "A little holiday!" A trifle excitedly the White Linen Nurse laid down her knife and fork and stared at him, blue-eyed and wondering as a child. "A holiday?" she gasped. "To a beach, you mean?
At the turning of the road a man appeared. At the sight of Judas he halted, then called him excitedly by name. “It is Mathias,” Judas muttered, and got to his feet. The man hurried to them. He was broad of shoulder and of girth, the jaw lank and earnest. His eyes were small, and the lids twitched nervously. He was out of breath, and his garments were dust-covered.
I fairly stampeded down the hall, running full tilt against Aubrey, and nearly folding him up. "Oh! Oh!" I gasped, dancing up and down before him excitedly. He seized both my hands.

His companion sat still with signs of tension in his face, and it was clear that he was racking his befogged brain.
It was in vociferous French and in the course of it the boys saw young Zept excitedly tear a bill from a roll of money in his hand and hurl it on the floor of the barn. The proprietor, hurling French epithets at his customer, kicked the money aside. Norman pushed his way between the spectators and with assumed jocularity demanded to know the cause of dispute.
