All went on smoothly for a long time; for months and months I did not find the fatal passage, so that I almost thought that I had imagined it.
She hoped nobody would suspect her of dyeing it. She wore it parted in the middle, folded back smoothly, and braided in a compact mass on the top of her head. The style of her clothes was slightly behind the fashion, just enough to suggest conservatism and age.
It was pretty evident that there would be no living with McGregor in his present frame of mind, and I was convinced that my best course would be to cut the whole thing, or, if that proved impossible, to see what bargain I could make with the President. Of course, all would go smoothly with him if I gave up the dollars and the lady; a like sacrifice would conciliate McGregor.
This last to the horses, not to the girls. "The road map seems to say the road to the right," murmured Betty, as the farmer drove that way himself. "Well, he ought to know," insisted Grace. "We'll take the left," and they did. If they had hoped to have all go smoothly on this, their first day of tramping, the girls were destined to disappointment.
It is curious, by the bye, how we go in blindly, imagining that things go smoothly with many people around us, with some at least, with some Wellington, or Webster, or Astor, when the truth is, they never do with anybody.

Four times the jam shrugged and settled; but four times it paused on the brink of discharge. Three of the clumps had been placed and bound; and fifteen piles of the last clump had been driven. "One more pile!" breathed Orde, his breath quickening a trifle as he glanced up stream. The hammer in the high derrick ran smoothly to the top, paused, and fell. A half dozen times more it ripped.
