As I was near by, I wrote him, by special delivery, and put the case before him. He, for self-protection, wired my house that he would prefer that they would not sell his old clerk who was now going to become his competitor. In fact, he said he would not stand for it.
How the Lieutenants, in undress, sat down to their last dinner in the ward-room, and the champagne, packed in ice, spirted and sparkled like the Hot Springs out of a snow-drift in Iceland? How the Chaplain went off in his cassock, without bidding the people adieu? How shrunken Cuticle, the Surgeon, stalked over the side, the wired skeleton carried in his wake by his cot-boy?
I got two accidents and an epileptic twenty-two pounds, eight and sixpence that's the lot! "What will you do, then?" "That's what I wanted your advice about. That's why I wired for you. I always respected your opinion, my boy, and I thought that now was the time to have it." It struck me that if he had asked for it nine months before there would have been more sense in it.
We will surely come upon a trace of them somewhere." "What strikes me queer," said Sahwah, "is, if Gladys knows our address and wired that she would be here at noon, why she didn't wire again when she found she couldn't get here. She might know we would begin to tear our hair when she didn't appear." Nyoda began to look uneasy. "That's what makes me think something has happened to her," she said.

I even recognized your voices until then I did not know you were on board." "But why are you here, father?" Dulcie exclaimed. "When did you leave England?" "I crossed the night before last. Connie wired to me to come at once she said in her telegram 'most urgent, though she gave no reason for the urgency." "And have you seen her? Where is she now?"
As at Gommecourt, it had a good natural glacis up to the front line, which was deep, strong, and well wired. Behind the front line was a wired second line, and behind that, the rising spur on which the village stood, commanding both with machine-gun emplacements. Fricourt was not captured by storm, but swiftly isolated and forced to surrender. It held out not quite two days.
And it came from each still as if it wasn't what each was most thinking of. Kate presently got however a step nearer to that. "But if you had been wired to by nobody what then this morning had taken you to Sir Luke?" "Oh something else which I'll presently tell you.

"I wired our New York exchange yesterday," said Emlie, "but they can't give us any information answered things had gone to pot pretty generally with certain securities, but Flamsted was all right, not tied up in any of them. Of course, they know the standing of the syndicate.
On reaching Brisbane to attend the House, I interviewed Sir Thomas McIlwraith, who, after congratulating me on my return, said: "I intend to put down an artesian bore at Winton." I asked if I might make use of this. He replied, "Well, it rests on me and my party being returned to office."
