You're so persistent just like you were about my cough medicine last night." "It was for your own good." "Ha! I might as well be living with mama." "What a thing to say to me!" A standing policeman swerved into view, was hastily passed. "See him?" demanded Anthony. "Oh, you drive me crazy! He didn't arrest us, did he?" "When he does it'll be too late," countered Anthony brilliantly.
Then he threw her across his saddle, but she writhed down, and lay under the pony's feet. He kicked her then, for giving so much trouble, lifted her again, and tried to mount, holding her in one arm. But the frightened pony swerved and backed, and the girl writhed, and struggled, and scratched like a wild cat.
Then he raced away and came back on a full drive, as if meaning to meet the King in a legitimate encounter after all. But Neela Deo only lowered his head a fraction, leaning a bit forward; and the pale one, instead of finishing straight, or passing alongside close enough to strike swerved out.

Timmy uttered these words in a very matter-of-fact voice. Then, for a moment, he forgot Betty, for the car swerved suddenly. "The officer who wants to marry Betty?" repeated Radmore. "I didn't know there was an officer who wanted to marry Betty." "Nobody's supposed to know," said Timmy composedly. "But Mum and I, as well as father, know.
Dulcie, nestling close to me in the warm, comfortable brougham, was more than half asleep. I too felt drowsy, and I fear that more than once my chin had dropped forward with a jerk.

Discarding the useless lasso, he had recourse to a few well-aimed epithets. The infuriated animal swerved and made directly towards a small fountain in the centre of the garden. In attempting to clear it, it fell directly into the deep cup-like basin and remained helplessly fixed, with its fore-legs projecting uneasily beyond the rim.
