Do you suppose I'm made of cast iron?" She departed with an injured air, and Juliet went to look for the consul. "What is it?" he asked, as she put the envelope into his hand. "A letter you want me to read?
Barely crossing foils, Taquisara executed the feint in question at once, and lunged his fullest length. But Veronica had thought out the right parry and answer, and was quicker than he. His weapon ran past her head without touching her, and as he recovered himself, hers shot out after him. He uttered an exclamation as it ran under his arm, with a little soft resistance.
Churton that her pupil took an ever-increasing interest in it, that her mind became more and more receptive and her intelligence quicker. The girl's shyness wore off by degrees, her tremulous voice grew firmer, her pallid cheeks flushed with a colour tender as that of the wild almond blossom, and her eyes, bright with a new-born confidence, were lifted more frequently to the other's face.
"Yes, yes, Wiley," soothed Blount, "now please don't rush off I wanted to see you about the Paymaster." "Well, shoot," returned Wiley, "but don't ask my advice, unless you're ready to pay for it."

Down South, where the blood flows quicker, King Carnival is, indeed, a jolly old soul.
Jane, who had quicker intuitions than her sister, would have snatched it from Cynthia's hand, and it was a long time before Susan forgave herself for her folly. Thus Miss Sadler had her revenge. It is often mercifully ordained that the mightiest blows of misfortune are tempered for us.
Every word came out by itself, "afoot and alone," and as different from Dick's ordinary speech as a cut stone is from a rough one. Ham Morris opened his eyes wide, and Ford puckered his lips into the shape of a still whistle; but Annie caught the meaning of it quicker than they did.
