"You've got it pretty tidy." "Tell me what you can see." The sailor grunted and hesitated. "Go on," cried Aleck. "Here, my bottom lip smarts a good deal. It's cut, isn't it?" "That's right, sir. Cut it is, but I should say as it'll soon grow up together again." Aleck pressed the kerchief to his lip, and winced with pain. "Arn't loosened no teeth, have yer, sir?" Aleck shook his head.
They say it's getting to be an interesting ruin by now, though perhaps Alec's aunt might choose to patch the crumbling walls up, if other things suited her." "Huh! takes all sorts of freaks to make this world," grunted Billy.
Charly made no answer, and the brawny, dark-skinned Siwash, who spoke English reasonably well, merely grunted. Unless it seemed necessary, he seldom said anything at all. Bred to the sea, and living on the seal and salmon, an additional hazard or two or an extra strain on his tough body did not count for much with him.
"The reptiles would never dare to attack a well-manned boat." "Never," said the Doctor emphatically. "But they might, my dear," replied Mrs Morley. "You can go, but I shall certainly stay." "You talk very glibly," grunted the Doctor, "about my going; but suppose I am wanted?"

"Well, perhaps they won't take your going away so dreadfully to heart now; or theirs, for that matter." "I hope not," and then she smiled wistfully.
He looked away as he spoke, and the tall foreman grunted audibly. "Well," he drawled, "they ain't much to explain. The sheepmen have been gittin' so free up on our range that I've had a little trouble with 'em and if I was the boss they'd be more trouble, you can bet your life on that.

"My orders was to drive you to Warren's Copse." "I don't care in the least what your orders were," I answered. "You can either go to the post-office or else you can go to the Devil.
