I was just going ashore and stroll about a bit. It is barely possible that one of you may overhear something. I wouldn't stay more than two hours at the most." He glanced at his watch. "Two o'clock now," he said. "I shall expect you back here at 4.30 at the latest." The lads nodded. "Will it be best for us to row ashore ourselves, sir?" asked Frank. "Or shall we have one of the men take us?"

It is consoling, too, to our national pride, long wounded by contemptuous references to our industrial incapacity as compared with our neighbours, to find that our latest efforts are regarded by them as worthy of imitation.

It was known that she suffered from dyspepsia, and this gave real value to her reputation for cheerfulness. Mrs Garlick's latest feat of stinginess was invariably a safe card to play in the conversational game. Each successive feat was regarded as funnier than the one before it. Maria, who had a terrific respect for appearances, never disclosed her mistress's peculiarities.

"Why?" questioned Eugenia, who was interested in the kindergarten effort discovered on the island. "Nobody knows and nobody cares," he replied, using the words of the latest popular song. "We're going back there some day," declared Grace. "Found signs and things never left there by the Indians."

It was truly amazing, for the machine, which was the latest improvement in imported fire-fighting machinery, skidded the full width of the street, threatening to rip its tires off and turn turtle, then leaped upon the curb before its driver could straighten it up, and in a magnificent sweep carried away the wooden supports of an overhanging balcony.

"An', for the love of Mike, who was the first wan?" he demanded, when assured that the latest arrival was really the Senator. "Mr. Ronald Tower," said the man. "They're like as two peas in a pod, ain't they?" Nolan muttered something. He, too, crossed the bridge, meaning to find Clancy and explain his error.

After a short time her interest has shifted to something else. Thus she passes from work in behalf of blind babies to raising funds for a home for indigent actors; from energy spent in philanthropy to energy spent in learning the latest dances. Her enthusiasm never cools off, though its goal always changes.

He was able, he was good, he was extremely acute, he was even with the latest facts and theories; but as he sat straight up in his chair his stomach defined itself as a half-moon before him, and he said to the quivering heap of emotions beside him, "You mean like breaking hearts, and such little matters?" It was fatally stupid, and it beat her back into herself.

We listened and it came across "Are we down-hearted? No." It never seemed to strike our men that way. We had not heard the latest London Music Hall slang borrowed from "Joe" Chamberlain, so our men called back, "Cheer up, the worst is yet to come" and everybody roared with laughter.
