To the right, below us, the wide, smoky bay was empty. Dominic had kept his word. There was not a chip to be seen around the black rock from which the Tremolino, with her plucky heart crushed at one blow, had slipped off into deep water to her eternal rest.

Plucky old boy, backbone of New Hampshire granite. Before taking his leave, the colonel delivered himself of an invitation as if he were issuing a general order. Will we honor them with our company? My father's son bows with as much suavity as he knows, and accepts. In my next I shall have something to tell you. I shall have seen the little beauty face to face.

Stay where you are." I left Sandy kneeling there, corpse-faced but plucky and hopeful, and rode down to the pigsty, and struck up a trade with the swine-herds. I won their gratitude by buying out all the hogs at the lump sum of sixteen pennies, which was rather above latest quotations.

Robin expected his russet apple Joe looked for his canter with Nell on his back. "There's a brave little girl," said her father. "'Pon my word, I wouldn't do it if I could help it." "No, father dear; of course not." "You're a plucky young 'un," said her father admiringly. Boris and Kitty came close; the grooms and the horse-dealer also approached. There was a sort of ring round Nell and the colts.

"No, my dear; I won't injure you," said Fortune; "but I must know this: When was it they ran away?" "Three nights ago, madam; and Ben Holt, he's fairly wild at losing the girl. He doesn't think anything at all about the boy, but the little girl why, she won us all, she was so plucky and fearless. But they ran away three nights back, and no one knows where they are."

Jack could foresee that the Chilians were pretty sure to secure that portion of the country before they got through. Plum Plucky had stood by his friend all of this time, and they had met with some thrilling experiences, but come out of them safely. Jack saved his money like a miser, and with undimmed faith in his ultimate success bought five more nitrate beds, to be laughed at by his friend.

"It's simply horrible; I don't know how he manages to bear it. I was obliged to stupefy him with opium in the night a thing I hate to do with a nervous patient; but I had to stop it somehow." "He is nervous, I should think." "Very, but splendidly plucky. As long as he was not actually light-headed with the pain last night, his coolness was quite wonderful.

The Boers made a short but plucky struggle, numbers pushing up from behind to help their comrades, but nothing could check the impetuosity of our troops. The magazines of the rifles were now for the first time set in action, and the Boer force withered away under the terrible storm of shot.

I never saw such a plucky bird. If I had been trying to drown him I could not have done more, for sometimes he was knocked backwards into the pool; but no matter, he was up again, and all ready in a minute.

She could not work, and she had given up most of her pupils: she, who was so plucky, and had always risen so early, now lay in bed sometimes until the afternoon: she had no more reason for getting up than for going to bed: she ate little or nothing. Only on her brother's holidays Thursday afternoons and Sundays she would make an effort to be her old self with him. He saw nothing.
