Well, I'd like to tie Mr. Felix Marchand, Esquire, to his back, and let him loose on the prairie, and pray the Lord to save him if he thought fit. I fancy I know what the Lord would do. And Lil Sarnia's only one. Since he come back from the States, he's the limit, oh, the damnedest limit. He's a pest all round-and now, this!" Ingolby kept blinking reflectively as Jowett talked.
It's all guesswork in my way o' thinkin', but they are sure on't, an' that feelin' is lots o' comfort to 'em when they are drawin' near the end. I've been a sort er scoffer all my life," he added reflectively, "an' can't help bein' a doubter, but there are times when I envy Aunt Leach an' the rest on' em the delusion I b'lieve they're laborin' under."

"I suppose it might be so built that it could be easily moved off and added to our own house when we build for ourselves," said Draxy, reflectively.
"God knows," answered Forsythe, reflectively. "Without oil, we stop in mid-ocean. What then?" "What then?" queried Riley. "Well, before then we must hold up some craft and get the oil also grub and water, if I guess right. This bunch is hard on the commissary." "Riley," said Forsythe, impressively, "will you stand by me?" "Yes; if you can bring that big chump to terms." "All right.

"While he hold us in his hand, we will not drive him to ze devil, or we go too, I believe, or part of ze way. But now, we say, zat money is frozen in ze Nord.
