"Oh no, baby ain't," was baby's rejoinder, in effect if not in words. "Baby don't take a hand in experiments not this baby. I don't want to be upset or run over." Poor Ethel! I shall never forget how heart-broken she was. It was the want of confidence that wounded her.

This led me to reassert, in the spirit of my previous rejoinder, that I had at least the merit of being alive; which in turn drew from him again the flash of contradiction I dreaded. "Oh, she was alive! she was, she was!" "She was dead! she was dead!" I asseverated with an energy, a determination that it should be so, which comes back to me now almost as grotesque.

You couldn't sit here for five minutes. I know you." "You may be right, sir," agreed Frank. "But you are older than I am, sir, and should have more patience and fortitude." Lord Hastings was forced to smile at this rejoinder. "You see, sir," said Frank, "I can remember some of the things you have said to me." "I see," agreed Lord Hastings.

To this Louis obtained a long reply, at which he first shook his head, then nodded and laughed, with a rejoinder which brought a sudden rush of tears to the black eyes below. Louis turned to Burns. "He say man lead heem here, make heem stand by window, make sign to heem to play. I tell heem man knew soft heart eenside."

To this we made a short rejoinder on one point, stating that his complaint against us was without foundation; that not one of us was a member of the Civil Service League; that not one of us had taken any part in its deliberations; and that we could not, therefore, be made responsible in any way for its utterances.

Such was his astonishing rejoinder I say astonishing, because nothing had been said regarding a wager and certainly nothing had been farther from my own thoughts. "What will I bet?" I echoed, for the instant nonplussed. Then consciousness of what I had just said came to me with a shock.

"You are from the country, all right," was her sister's rejoinder. "I would have bet there wasn't a Reub in the state that wasn't wise to the Ferris breach of promise case, and here you blow in after the show's over and want to know who Nelly Nealy is. If that doesn't beat the band!" "This woman sued a man named Ferris is that it?" "A man named Ferris!"

Billy made an unseemly rejoinder, but even in the making was visited by inspiration. He saw the whole thing as it really was. "By Jove!" said he, "we couldn't get back in time for dinner." "There's my bonny boy!" said Bertie, with pride; and he touched up the black gelding. Uneasiness had left both of them.

They knew that if he was on the ground, he'd blow up the whole shooting-match before he'd let them get at the gold." "Then you don't think they have harmed him, Mr. Bradley?" "Not they, my lad," was the reassuring rejoinder, "they wouldn't dare to injure a prominent American like your dad.

"I'd be swinging from the end of a rope if it weren't for you, you know." Sinclair shrugged away this rejoinder. He trod heavily to the bookshelves, took up two or three random volumes, and tossed them heedlessly back into place. "Well, kid, you're going to be yanked out of this little imitation world of yours pretty pronto." "Ah, but perhaps not!" "Eh?" "Something may happen." "What can happen?"
