Alfred Smee, Esq., R.A., was indignant at their rejection, but J. J. confessed with a sigh, and Clive owned good-naturedly, that he had been neglecting his business, and that his pictures were not so good as those of two years before.

"I really think we haven't time, not to-night, Will," said Dick. "See! it's almost sunset, and we are two miles from home through the woods." "Well, then, I've got two doughnuts left. Let's put them on." "Very well," laughed Dick, good-naturedly, "if you can wait for your supper."
"If you Kansas folks weren't such damned abolitionists you'd have some able-bodied niggers to do your work right." O'mie winked at me and gave a low whistle.

"I don't want to join either," broke in another girl, by name Phyllis Short. "I think it would be nicer for us Infants, as they call us, to keep together. And we're no younger than a good many of the Juniors!" Ruth laughed. "We expect to take all that good-naturedly. But I don't like the idea of being driven into one society, or the other. And I don't mean to be," she said, emphatically.
Write each name on a separate sheet of paper, and the number of their house below it if you know it, and if you don't know it, just the street. If it's a woman: put `Miss' or `Mrs. before their name and if it's a man write `Esquire' after it." "Is all that necessary for the game?" "It's the way I invented it and I think you might " "Oh, all right," she acquiesced, good-naturedly.

The speculator having been rescued from Jim Willis's clutches by the sheriff, the crowd good-naturedly helped us load our stones between pack-horses, and some of them followed us all the way home that they might see the grinding.
One or two nights in a place; sometimes, a little longer! No, no; 'tis necessary to forget, if not to forgive. You'll have to fortify your issue without us. "'Well, well, he said, good-naturedly, 'if it's against your interests, I have no wish to press the matter. Whereupon we shook hands heartily and parted.

Everywhere, in what had been a land of death, life was stirring. In one field beside the road a herd of soft-eyed cattle, knee-deep in rich alfalfa, lifted their heads to greet her.
