Rover, however, thought there were different ways of "behaving himself," the chief in his estimation being to show his affection to those who were kind to him, whom he loved with all the intensity of his great canine heart; and so, ranking obedience to orders as only second to this potent law of his life, he frisked and jumped and playfully tousled Bob until he finally made him start at a swinging trot for the beach, the frolicsome retriever galloping in advance one moment, the next stopping in his mad career onward to give out a loud bark and wag his tail in encouragement to his master to try and catch him up, if he could!
So try again, and see if you can suggest some way it can be put through." Thereupon Perk started scratching his tousled head in a fashion he always followed when given a problem to solve, since his wits were apt to be a bit rusty and in need of oiling so as to cause them to function properly.
Gradually the man, very tousled and dirty, clustered all the bags and parcels around his person, and walked off. Audrey and Miss Ingate meekly following. The great roof of the station resounded to whistles and the escape of steam and the clashing of wagons. Beyond the platforms there were droves of people, of whom nearly every individual was preoccupied and hurried. And what people!
WHEN he knocked at the barracks door it was opened by a man with tousled, red hair, who looked as though he had just awakened from sleep. "What do you want at this hour of the night?" said he. "I want to give myself up," said the Philosopher. The policeman looked at him "A man as old as you are," said he, "oughtn't to be a fool.

She caught a glimpse of her own tousled head in the mirror, and she sneered at it. "You darn fool oh, you darn fool!" At last the parrot woke Gilfoyle.

He put out his hand to her. She wiggled away; he followed.
"Didn't you go up Look Out Mountain?" "Oh, yes that, too." There was a silence between the men. The lawyer rasped it with, "Well, what then?"

Just as she was dropping to sleep and after her companions were already in dreamland Rose saw the door of the room pushed open. The moon had risen, and Rose recognized Russ's tousled head poked in the open door. "What do you want?" she demanded in a whisper. "Oh, Russ! there isn't another fire, is there?" "No! Hush! I just thought of something."
It is doubtless true, however, that stupid men by remaining quiet may often pass for men of wisdom: this is because no man can really talk as wisely as he can look.
