As I told him, it's not the beastly things that you buy that you care about, only of course you don't like to be the only fellow who can't buy 'em. So then he came round, and said I should have an allowance, but I must do with a very small one. So I said, Very well, then I mustn't go in for the games.
Persons unfamiliar with the sporting properties of this long-bodied breed are apt to refer smilingly to the Dachshund as "the dog that is sold by the yard," and few even of those who know him give credit to the debonair little fellow for the grim work which he is intended to perform in doing battle with the vicious badger in its lair.
He remembered the look on the butler's face as he tore himself away from Hammersley's restraining hand, and he knew what that fellow thought and also was quite able to guess what that fellow would do, if his suspicions were farther awakened.
But you had to be careful how you let a little fellow hold it; for, if it was a very powerful kite, it would take him up. It was not certain just how strong a kite had to be to take a small boy up, and nobody had ever seen a kite do it, but everybody expected to see it. WHAT every boy expected to do, some time or other, was to run off.
"Most likely Jim Albert did some wrong to the members of Sewatis's tribe, and that is why the old fellow hung around here, waiting for just such a chance as he finally got. I don't see why we should trouble our heads about it." "I am sorry Sewatis has gone. In addition to being of great assistance to me, he was a companion, and now I shall be entirely alone."

Of course, it had appeared to a fellow like that, that Romarin himself had always had a calculated end in view; he had not; Marsden merely measured Romarin's peck out of his own bushel.
He was a young fellow, and I had gathered from to-night's conversation that he was studying medicine. "Who is that?" I asked, with a sort of idle curiosity. "Oh, only a fellow in the hospital," he answered with a cigarette between his teeth. "A paying patient. D. T., you know. I saw him last night in the ward.
The pay of the Spanish soldiers was very small. I was informed that it was only six dollars Spanish per month, equivalent to only three dollars of United States currency. Yet this meagre sum had not been paid for several months. A Spaniard is not a very frank, attractive looking fellow to an American soldier.
"The fellow was given an opportunity of making a clean breast of it, of course Wensley, his lawyer, advised him to, in fact but the story he told me was precisely the story he told at the inquest." They were established now in their easy-chairs, and Wilmore summoned a waiter. "Two large whiskies and sodas," he ordered.
Such was the life of the little garrison for two or three long summer months each day so resembling its fellow, that no difference could be found. As to how the war was faring, or what the aspect of affairs might be, they absolutely knew nothing.
