Yes, it was a neat thing, very neat and pretty to see. It resembled a steamboat explosion on the Mississippi; and during the next fifteen minutes we stood under a steady drizzle of microscopic fragments of knights and hardware and horse-flesh. I say we, for the king joined the audience, of course, as soon as he had got his breath again.
"A mere fluke, I tell him." "Don't you think it for one little minute. It was a neat bit of work." THE SPIRIT Of CANADA Whatever it was that rendered it necessary for Duckworth to "see the fellows," that necessity vanished in the presence of Nora. "Are you going to take in the polo?" he asked. "Am I? Am I going to continue breathing?" cried Nora.
So back he came in his neat little two-seater car to call at Wren's End as if nothing had happened, and Jan, guiltily conscious that she had been very rude, was only too thankful to accept the olive-branch in the spirit in which it was offered.
