But he continued, "When men talk of striking terror by sudden movements they build on air." "I had hardly thought to hear that from your lordship," said Mr.
"Oh, that's it," snorted Mallory, as he stamped back into the house. "You have something to tell me you don't want father to hear?" asked the girl in a worried voice. "Laura, there's something I must tell you right away," said Doane nervously, leading her to the shadow of the far end of the porch. There he turned and faced her, taking her hands.

Spavined wusser'n a carpenter's saw-hoss, and with heaves like a gasoline dory!

He tried to disguise it behind a belated cough, but it was quite palpably a snort of outraged patience and dignity. She couldn't fool him any longer not even with that wide-eyed appealingly infantile stare.

But of a sudden the colonel's manner changed from that of a deacon to that of a Frenchman. He shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, well, general, we went as far as we could," he said calmly.
