"Well, if I came across these fellows jeering at an Englishwoman, I'd know the reason why!" he resumed hotly. "You should have complained." She shook her head, smiling. "One doesn't want to be a nuisance in war time. One can always protect oneself." He smiled. "That's what women always say, and excuse me they can't!" She laughed. "Oh, yes, we can the modern woman."
"It is decided that Milan gives the signal," said the Chief; and a light, like the reflection of a beacon-fire upon the night, flashed over her. He was pursuing, when Ugo Corte smote the air with his nervous fingers, crying out passionately, "Bunglers! are we again to wait for them, and hear that fifteen patriots have stabbed a Croat corporal, and wrestled hotly with a lieutenant of the guard?

I love you dearly; we shall be fast friends, I can see. Kiss me, boy, kiss me." I should have resented this comedy of thunderstorms more hotly than I did if I had not believed the friar to be mad.
The little aristocratic turn of her head when she saw anything vulgar or common was quite too killing. Turn your head, Hilda, my love!" Hildegarde coloured hotly. "Please don't be absurd, Madge!" she said. "Pray turn your head, Miss Grahame!" said Roger Merryweather, gravely. "I am sure it would interest us."

Cornish give Herr von Holzen his due, then?" "Cornish does his best to upset Von Holzen's plans at every turn. He does not understand business at all.

Roden spoke rather hotly.
