That report had been written exclusively by himself, and poor Neverbend had been obliged to content himself with putting all his voluminous notes into Tudor's hands. He afterwards obediently signed the report, and received his reward for doing so. Alaric never divulged to official ears how Neverbend had halted in the course of his descent to the infernal gods.
Obediently Pierson resigned his long coat. "Now, you see, you can have my rose. Your nose is better!" She kissed his nose, and transferred her rose to the buttonhole of his short coat. "That's all. Come along!" And with her arm through his, they went down. But he knew she had come to say something which she had not said.
Dwight, perhaps, was the one who wrested the most fun from the situation, for while the rest soon grew weary of the monotony, and lethargic with the heat, groaning aloud every time they had to seek the siding in order to let some great train of laden boats go by, he found fresh enjoyment in every stop, and in blouse and knickerbockers, with bare feet, paddled about on the moist banks, making friends with the half-clothed camel-drivers, whose patient beasts knelt so obediently to be loaded with the silt deposits taken from the bed of the canal, and collecting items of interest in regard to this artery of commerce which might have made even its founder open his eyes.
The serious results, of which he had been the primary cause, for a while put his naughtiness out of every body's head; and when, after an hour or more, Christian went up stairs, and found the poor little fellow waiting patiently and obediently in mother's bedroom, it seemed rather hard to punish him.

"A moment, sir," said I, and, laying two fingers on the Commandant's arm, I nodded towards the bole of a stout pine-tree across the clearing. "Will that distance suit you?"
"When this hysterical outburst is quite over," she said scathingly, "I shall be better able to talk to you." Nan made no answer. It was all she could do to prevent herself from bursting into tears. "Sit down again." Lady Gertrude pointed to a chair, and Nan, who felt her legs trembling under her, sat down obediently.
Elizabeth decked the task with honour, so that the girls in their khaki stood round her at last glowing, though dumb! and felt themselves as she bade them feel the comrades-in-arms of their sweethearts and their brothers. Then with the March twilight she was again at Mannering. She changed her bicycling dress, and six o'clock found her at her desk, obediently writing from the Squire's dictation.
Their movements, that in the beginning of the dance had been shy and awkward, became almost beautiful; they forgot arms, hands, feet; their bodies had become like the strings of some skilfully played instrument, obediently responsive to rhythm, and in that composite blending of races each in his dancing brought some of the poetry of his own far land.

"So that you're short of fifty pounds?" said Mr. Prohack, obediently pouring out the port but only half a glass. "Well, I might be able to let you have fifty pounds myself, if you would deign to accept it."
Cayhill laughed, as Maurice obediently bowed his head, but Johanna reproved her sister. "Don't be silly, Ephie. You behave as if you had never seen lilac before." "Well, neither I have not such lilac as this, and Maurice hasn't either," answered Ephie.
