Ruggedo laughed at him. "Where is this famous Queen?" he asked. "She'll be here in a min-ute," said Tik-Tok. "Per-haps she stopped to tie her shoe-string." "Now, see here, Tik-Tok," began the Nome King, in a stern voice, "I've had enough of this nonsense. Your Queen and her officers are all prisoners, having fallen into my power, so perhaps you'll tell me what you mean to do."
"They try to make folks be-lieve that they are ver-y ter-ri-ble, but as a mat-ter of fact the Wheel-ers are harm-less e-nough to an-y one that dares to fight them. They might try to hurt a lit-tle girl like you, per-haps, be-cause they are ver-y mis-chiev-ous. But if I had a club they would run a-way as soon as they saw me." "Haven't you a club?" asked Dorothy. "No," said Tiktok.
Never mind, we'll see it on the homeward route." "Per-haps," corrected Jimmy Doon. Thus we went through the gate into the Mediterranean theatre, where the big battle for those other Straits was being fought. We left the fog behind us, as we got into wider seas, and steamed into a hot Mediterranean night. Oh, it was torrid.
Better than all this, he had big ideals and an enthusiasm for the work that knew no limitations. Perhaps he was inclined to dream too big; per-haps he assumed too great an enthusiasm on the part of those who worked with him I don't know just where he did place the boundary line.
It worked out on the average to four men per battery per week per-haps; the proviso being that no "show" was imminent, when all leave was stopped.

A little snap ple ease!" The last word in a sharply rising inflection, tightening up the spring again for the explosive "Ye-a-ou-w yun!" Without warning came the commands, repeating "As you were!"

The lights were switched on; the women sat on the fronts of their chairs in that determined suspense whereby a wife indicates that as soon as the present speaker has finished, she is going to remark brightly to her husband, "Well, dear, I think per-HAPS it's about time for us to be saying good-night." For once Babbitt did not break out in blustering efforts to keep the party going.
If the agricultural person with the hair will kindly shut his head, the sea-green barnacle with the wall-eye may per-haps condescend to enlighten us."

I have always been an extreme temperance man on principle; but it is useless to push principle to excess, and on this occasion I believe that I finished three-quarters of the bottle. As I ate, I still continued to admire the preparations for defence. "We could stand a siege," I said at length. "Ye-es," drawled Northmour; "a very little one, per-haps.

Per-haps he helped draw up one of these bills so that, with the aid of his inside knowledge of his employer's business, the measure is made to give a greater scare than might otherwise have resulted.
