"'Oh's the sort of expression one used at the time," said Chevenix. "There wasn't much else to be said. It was a holy row." He mused, he brooded, and said no more. Luckily for him, he discovered Dover at hand, and escaped. Mrs. Germain was put into a first-class carriage by two attendant squires, provided with tea and a foot-warmer; and then Chevenix bowed himself away and Senhouse disappeared.
"I have occupied many stations in life, and whether high or low have always assumed a cognomen to match my position." "A cog what?" asked Bill Cobb in a voice so low that he thought only his brother Jim could hear; but his question reached the stranger's ear. "By cognomen I mean a desirable alias or a characteristic appellation." This explanation gave rise to a chorus of "Oh's."
First speechlessly, then with "Oh's!" and "Ah's!", finally with man's insufficient vocabulary of joy and gratitude, I examined the ashram-sixteen unusually large rooms, each one charmingly appointed. The stately central hall, with immense ceiling-high windows, looks out on a united altar of grass, ocean, sky-a symphony in emerald, opal, sapphire.
There was some mending and much cleansing to be done, but all was finished in good time, when she called them to get ready for breakfast.

Do you think any the worse of him for that?" Whyland had come to fetch the men and to show them his model farm. They spent the forenoon in going over this expensive place.

The family were deeply impressed when they came in for dinner. The twins, Oliver and Malcolm, who were in college at the time, were spending part of their vacation in Hilton; and my sister Lucy was there too. There was quite a tableful. I can hear now the Oh's and Ah's as I sat nonchalantly nibbling a cracker. "Not too fast, Ruth, not too fast!" anxious Alec had cautioned. "For the love o' Mike!
