"It seems to me," he said, "that we are wandering wonderfully far out of our way just now. We have been going due north for several days; at least so my pocket compass tells me, and if my geography is not greatly at fault, our backs instead of our faces are turned at present towards Buenos Ayres.
Is he interested in it?" "Oh, yes, working all day. But he's wonderfully well. I've never seen him better." She hesitated and laughed a little. "How shall we ever stick to our year?" she asked. "He means it now and I mean it. But " "You won't do it," said Aunt Maria emphatically. "Nobody could keep Sandro quiet for a year!" "Don't tell me that. We're going to try."
Some women of my kind would have lied or stolen, or they would have made mischief for people. And then there were the young fellows, the mere boys.... It's a real injury to them to find that a girl they like is is not nice. They're so wonderfully ignorant. A woman is either entirely good or entirely bad in their eyes.
This power is wonderfully developed in all Martians, and accounts largely for the simplicity of their language and the relatively few spoken words exchanged even in long conversations.

As regarded the matter of tidiness, Elizabeth had made reforms.
The Comanches are also wonderfully active on foot, and it remained to be decided whether they could overtake him in a fair contest. Avon Burnet ran as never before. He was speeding now for his own life as well as for that of his friends, for they were in as urgent need of help as ever.
