Two or three of the boy scouts those who did not, like Stud, show incredulity, sarcasm gleaming, hawk-eyed, from a ruby lamp hooked to a hatband, and from a level eye beneath it held their breath, dazzled; for the moment beaten at their own brave game of exploring. So did the girl who had been piqued and dared into sitting in the Devil's Chair with a sheer abyss beneath her!
Anything happens around you, we hear it." Orne touched the subvocal stud at his neck, moved his speaking muscles without opening his mouth. A surf-hissing voice filled the matching transceiver in Stetson's neck: "You pay attention while I'm making a play for this Diana Bullone, you hear? Then you'll know how an expert works."
The whole of that evening he sat brooding over it, so that he might come to some great resolution. The last few days in March and the first week in April were devoted by Ralph the heir to a final visit to the Moonbeam. He had resolved to finish the hunting season at his old quarters, and then to remove his stud to Newton.
'Tis the beginnin' av the overture; stand up! "He stud all he know, but he niver peeled his jacket, an' his shoulders had no fair play. I was fightin' for Dinah Shadd an' that cut on my cheek.

She completed the "front" of his life, and he not only supported her but, as Miss Salmon, of Vassar, flippantly and seriously says, he "sported" her as he might a diamond shirt stud. No struggle in Marie's life so far! No HAVING to swim in the cold water of daily enforced duty or else sink. She had missed work. That was nothing. She had missed being HARDENED to work. That was everything.
The next day, after they had examined the famous stud and stables, there was a riding party, and in the evening Colonel Albert offered to perform some American conjuring tricks, of which he had been speaking in the course of the day. This was a most wonderful performance, and surprised and highly amused everybody.
Oh, maybe maybe there's nothing in there but Ruddy himself!" "Maybe so!" Stud panted heavily while, across an inner, gaping hollow, the next words took a giant stride to his lips: "Anyhow I'm going up!" "Oh Studley!"
In the dressing room everything that he needed had been laid out in readiness for him, and he dressed mechanically with a feverish haste that struggled ineffectually with a refractory collar stud, and caused him to execrate heartily the absent valet and his enigmatical errand.
Well, you know, Louvier, what we Frenchmen are: how Nature has denied to us the quality of patience; how involuntarily suicide presents itself to us when hope is lost; and suicide seemed to me here due to honour, namely, to the certain discharge of my liabilities, for the stud and effects of Victor de Mauleon, roi des viveurs, would command much higher prices if he died like Cato than if he ran away from his fate like Pompey.
"If I had it, I would sail over the whole long 'necklace of the earth, from clasp to clasp." But Gerda was already out of hearing. She had gone to sit beside her father and watch the course of the boat through the thousands of rocky islands that stud the coast.
