"When shall we come to Castlewood, Monsieur Blaise?" says Harry. "Parbleu! my lord does not press himself," Blaise says, with a grin; and, indeed, it seemed as if his lordship was not in a great hurry, for he spent three days on that journey which Harry Esmond hath often since ridden in a dozen hours.
"Yes, that's it; you work for us, and we'll pay you." "How moche?" inquired the cautious Celestial. "Five dollars a day," replied Ned. The Chinaman put on a broad grin, and offered to shake hands, which offer was accepted, not only by Ned, but by the whole party; and the contract was thus settled on the spot, to the satisfaction of all parties.
Briggs was still grinning broadly as he remembered the roar with which Anstey had acknowledged the big splash. But of a sudden Mr. Briggs's grin faded like the mist, for Greg was at the doorway. "Mr. Briggs, your presence is desired at once at Mr. Furlong's tent." "Yes, sir," replied the plebe meekly.
Only innocent ignorance of the set he ornamented could account for the horror of her disillusion. What splendours had she dreamed of from the outside? What flashing and infernal signal had beckoned her to enter? What mute eyes had promised? What silent smile invited? All skulls seem to grin; but the world has yet to hear them laugh. "Philip?"

In the streets where these children live everything is dirty and nasty.
There was no doubt, however, on the part of his colleagues for the day, who thumped him wildly on the back and yelled again with joy. Mr. Boone retired with a score of forty-five and a wide grin. Then Jim joined Wally, and kept his end up while his chum put on the runs.
There was a cart coming on slowly behind them. Milly marched past the buggy haughtily and walked towards it. Snowden followed close behind, pleading, apologizing. She knew that he was afraid she would speak to the driver of the cart, and despised him. "Milly, don't," he groaned. She walked stiffly by the cart, whose driver eyed the scene with a slow grin.
I shook him by the shoulder. "Now, Tom," I said, severely, "this won't do. The big doctor said you must stay awake for at least an hour. Open your eyes. You're not entirely safe yet, you know. Wake up." Tom Hopkins weighs one hundred and ninety-eight. He gave me another somnolent grin, and fell into deeper slumber.
