Having been unceremoniously plucked from his precarious perch, the dispossessed hobo, finding himself stranded in a desert town where the streets are not electrically lighted, follows the dumb dictates of his stomach and the trend of his abnormal ambition, and promptly "turns a trick." Occasionally there is an objection on the part of the "trickee" and somebody gets killed.
"Courage, soldier," she said in the colloquialism her father often used, and she smiled at Crozier a great-hearted, helpful smile. "You are a brick of bricks, Kitty Tynan," he whispered, and smiled. "Here comes the Young Doctor," said Mrs. Tynan as the door opened unceremoniously. "Well, I have to make an excursion," Crozier said, "and I mayn't come back. If I don't, au revoir, Kitty."
"Not he! I don't believe he ever took a liking to anybody in his life." "Then how did you get your invitation to his house?" "That's the amusing part of it, Miss Emily. Give me a little breathing time, and you shall hear." "I got invited to Sir Jervis's house," Alban resumed, "by treating the old savage as unceremoniously as he had treated me.
"In such times as these you are likely to see even the women in the forefront in the fray, and doing even more than merely making calls," returned the visitor, releasing her hold and stepping in front of Mr. Wingate.

If he had had any idea that he was to travel comfortably he was quickly undeceived, for the train, which was waiting, consisted of nothing but goods wagons; into one of these he was unceremoniously hustled and the doors firmly bolted.

If his brother Denis had not happened to recognise Captain Count Karl von Eckstein and haled him so unceremoniously on board the Ithuriel, and if his portmanteau full of papers had been got on board a French warship, instead of being left for the inspection of the British Admiralty, that reason would have been made very plain to him.
James B. Coulson, but if I were in your position, and knew that a friendly country was feeling a little bit sore at having two of her citizens disposed of so unceremoniously, I'd do my best to prove, by the only possible means, that I was taking the matter seriously." "The only possible means being?" Sir Edward asked. "I guess I'd offer a reward," Mr. Coulson admitted.

"Will your Highness pardon my zeal?" said a well known voice. The Prince threw himself upon the Colonel's neck in a passion of relief. "How can I ever thank you?" he cried. "And how was this effected?"
Decres must have 100,000 crowns, Duroc 100,000, Bourrienne 100,000; you must make the payments, and don't come here troubling me with your long stories. It is the business of my Ministers to give me accounts of such matters; I will hear Decres, and that's enough. Let me be teased no longer with these complaints; I cannot attend to them." Bonaparte then very unceremoniously dismissed M. Collot.
