Bywank, in conclusion, 'puzzles my head, I'm sure. Mere handling so many hearts might do it. Mr. Rollo pursued his breakfast rather thoughtfully and nonchalantly for a time. 'Mrs. Bywank, Mrs. Coles is returned. 'Surely! said Mrs. Bywank, with a slight start. 'Then she'll make mischief, or it'll be the first chance she ever missed.
He took the dropchute down to the basement of the building, to the small prison section where the alien officer was being held. The guards saluted nonchalantly as he went in. The routine questioning sessions were nothing new to them. MacMaine turned the lock on the prisoner's cell door and went in. Then he came to attention and saluted the Kerothi general.
All eyes were turned on Kennedy, who made a gesture of polite deprecation, as if the remark of my friend were true, but he nonchalantly placed his chips on the "17."

He said the Monarch stood up and took the bombardment as nonchalantly as he would a fusilade from a pea-shooter, appearing to be only amazed at the cheek of the man and the buckskin horse.
