"I had nothing to eat all day," replied Joe, fishing for a cracker floating in the greasy platter. "But ain't you a-going to sleep some?" asked Sneak, half unconsciously, the final utterance smothered in a guttural rumble as he again sank back on his canine pillow. "Yes, when I've got my supper," replied Joe lazily, and indistinctly, with one end of the bone in his mouth.
And there was the day of the walk to High Slaughter, through the valley of the Speed to the valley of the Windlode, five miles there and back. Eliot and Jerrold and Anne had tried to sneak out when Colin wasn't looking; but he had seen them and came running after them down the field, calling to them to let him come.
My father told me that, as far as I could, I was to stand by and watch over my mother in his absence, and I wouldn't forsake my post for all the kings and queens in the world; so there!" "Then I suppose if I try to escape you will give the alarm and betray me?" "I don't care what you suppose. But I shouldn't be such a sneak. I wish you would go, and not bother me.
"We'll have to get horses from him to go on with; these will be all in, when we get that far." "We'll try and sneak through the pass," I answered, putting unpleasant thoughts resolutely behind me. "We can't take time to argue the point out with old King." "Sneak nothing," Frosty retorted grimly. "You don't know King, if you're counting on that."
Faith! lad, I've had a joyous morn, chaffing Gleason and supervising his packing. What a damned sneak that fellow is, anyhow!" he broke off, in sudden disgust. "What's he been doing now?" "Oh!

The business sergeant is the man not in evidence who asks for no compliments or bouquets who knows where things are who has no outside ambitions, and no desire save to do his work.

If, in a weak moment of benevolence, you take him back into your confidence and friendship, no one will be more humble and forgiving and affable; but he will just use your new favour as a weapon for paying back old grudges, and sorely will you repent your folly. In fact, there is only one place for Jerry that place is Coventry. That city is famous for one sneak already. Let Jerry keep him company.
Sometimes, after being held in check until I am out of sight beyond a knoll, these vindictive and determined assailants will sneak around through the fields, and, overtaking me unseen, make stealthy onslaughts upon me from the brush; my only safety is in unremitting vigilance.
He 'donno' anything at all about this guy in the swamp. But he did tell a straight story about the sneak they made; and there wasn't a shot fired on either side, so Ramos wasn't shot then. I'll bank on Willy's word for that." White promptly made good his promise concerning the ditches.
Lord, don't I know something about them? There isn't one of them that has such a depth to draw from. She'll be one of the great artists of our time. Playing accompaniments for that cheese-faced sneak! I'll get her off to Germany this winter, or take her. She hasn't got any time to waste now. I'll make it up to her, all right." Ottenburg certainly meant to make it up to her, in so far as he could.
