"That's fine, Byrd," said Mr. Detweiler. "You certainly reflect credit on 'Uncle Sim'!" "I guess," observed Bob Chase, "'Uncle Sim' would have had a fit if he'd heard that!"
To his wife's repeated questioning he would reply, sheepishly, "Oh, just loafin', that's all." And Emily was nervous, too. Of late she had taken a great fancy to a daily walk, and it always led in one direction down past the little brown house. Of course, she glanced over the fence at the roses and lilacs, and she couldn't help seeing that they all looked sadly neglected.
'Tain't's nifty 's the ole one, but it's easier handled, an' it'll last us through, I guess." Mira was examining it soberly. "What's the matter with it? It don't seem even somehow." He looked it over sheepishly. "I figured if I made it a bit shorter one side, yuh'd have less to pull. What bustin' I've did's run more to horses than boats, but ain't that about right?

"Aye, aye," muttered Marston, looking almost sheepishly; "Doctor Parkes, to be sure. What was I thinking of? how cursedly absurd! And this," he continued, glancing at his sword, which he threw impatiently upon a sofa as he spoke. "Folly nonsense! A false alarm, as you say, doctor. I beg your pardon."

Hot, and yet chilled by the wind, Rachel hesitated a moment at the gate, suddenly realizing the perils of her mission. And then she saw Julian Maldon standing in the bay-window of the ground floor; he was eating. Simultaneously he recognized her. She thought, "I can't go back now." He came sheepishly to the front door and asked her to walk in. "Who'd have thought of seeing you?" he exclaimed.

I had a fine lot of jewels, but I was so pushed I couldn't use them.
An air of suspense seemed to come down over them there in the road. Don's pulse throbbed. Would they obey? "March!" he ordered. The die was cast. Three of the boys swung forward.
