Yet again I call the flight-commander's attention to our dwindling numbers, and this time I cannot mistake the single-syllabled reply. It is a full-throated "Hell!"

My uncle Thormanby, on the other hand, has no tact at all. He came over to luncheon the day after I arrived home. We had scarcely sat down at table when he began to jeer. "Well," he said, speaking in his usual hearty full-throated way, "better luck next time." "I am not sure," I said, with dignified coolness, "that there will be a next time." "Oh, yes, there will.
Flossie stood in the doorway smiling good-humouredly at them, without a trace of embarrassment or of confusion in her manner. She was an immense girl, quite six feet tall, broad and well-made, in proportion. She was very handsome, full-throated, heavy-eyed, and slow in her movements.
"Look out! Want to run us down?" A full-throated laugh rang out from the Egret's bridge as her course was changed slightly and her engines throttled down.

Her mother followed with stately leisure, regardless of a wind-flung dash of sleet on her sealskins. Having been relieved of their furs, the callers were shown to the drawing-room. As the footman glided away to inform his mistress of their arrival, Dolores danced across to the door of the rear drawing- room and called in a clear, full-throated, contralto voice: "Ho, Vievie!
