Still in the land of to-morrow?" she called, taking off her heavy wraps. "Where's Philip?" Lawrence demanded gruffly, without moving. "Working over a trap in the ravine. I was a little tired, so I didn't wait." Lawrence could hear her brushing her hair. He was glad she had returned without Philip. Now at least they would have a few minutes alone. "Snow bad?" he asked.
"La, how you do shake my nerves," she cried, after giving him a most hasty and uncomfortable kiss. "And you are hungry too, and nothing in the house but cold mutton! Jenny, Jenny, I say, Jenny! Juliet, have you seen Jenny? Where's Jenny? Out with the odd man, I'll be bound." "I am not hungry, Mother," said Randal; "I wish for nothing but tea."
Mary saw the devil's light in my eyes, and she ran forward with her hands on my sleeve. "Don't, Jim, don't!" says she. "Where's Sarah?" I asked. "In the kitchen," says she. "Sarah," says I as I went in, "this man Fairbairn is never to darken my door again." "Why not?" says she. "Because I order it."
What have you and David been doing yonder?" "Reading" said Matilda doubtfully. "Reading what?" "Mr. Richmond and David were reading together." "That's jolly!" said Norton. "David and the parson! What's come over Bartholomew? Where's he going to get dinner?" "He didn't come with me, and I don't think he was coming." "Let him stay and read, then," said Norton. "If he can afford it, we can.
Locke was immediately pounced upon by lurking emissaries who seized him after a terrific battle and held him firmly. "Where's a rope?" growled one. There was no answer as the men struggled.

The postmaster felt sorry for her and showed it. "It's easy," he declared. Then he gathered his opinions in a bunch, and metaphorically hurled them at her. "Where's the steel girders an' stone masonry?" he demanded. "It's just wood pine. Wher's the figures an' measurements? Who knows the breakin' strain o' them green logs? Maybe it's art, but it ain't architecture.
Where are your brothers? Where's the old friend of the family who dined with you last night? If chaps who have no right to walk the same earth with you get insolent, who is going to teach them their place, and who is going to take care of you if a U-boat pops out of the sea? Oh, well, never mind. It isn't any of my business. But just the same if you need my services, I think I'll tackle the job."
"You can never tell anything, you scoundrel. For a thousand, she's off with him again, and all's ruined. Here, Matthews M'Gregor call the servants, sir. Where's her maid? call her maid. What a confounded fool ass I was, not to have made that impudent baggage tramp about her business. It's true, Lucy's off I feel it I felt it. Hang her hypocrisy! It's the case, however, with all women.
Miss Lacey and Judge Trent were seated on the piazza when they approached. "Just in time," said Miss Martha. "Where's that lazy Sylvia? Not down yet?" asked Edna. "No," replied Judge Trent; "I was just telling Miss Lacey I should go up and knock on her door. She assures me that laziness is not one of my niece's characteristics." "Decidedly not," returned Edna.
And wake her! You said she wasn't to be disturbed 'on any account." "I deny that I said 'on any account." "I shouldn't dream of disturbing her. And you'll tell her so much better than I could. You can do what you like with her." "Where's my dessert?" demanded Mrs. Prohack, anxiously and resentfully, when her husband at length reached the bedroom.
