England, like the United States, was cold, clinging to the balloon long after all other nations had abandoned it. But France welcomed the Wrights with enthusiasm. They found rivals a-plenty in their field of effort. Santos-Dumont, Bleriot, Farman, Latham were all flying with airplanes, but with models radically different from that of the American brothers.
It was hopeless for us to gun for delegates in the East; that was the especial bailiwick of Senator Goodrich. The most we could do there would be to keep him occupied by quietly encouraging any anti-Cromwell sentiment and it existed a-plenty. Our real efforts were to be in the West and South. I organized under Woodruff a corps of about thirty traveling agents.
Pike would drawl when questioned about him, "an' he's kin to them D'Willerbys that's sich big bugs down to D'Lileville. I guess they ain't much friendly, though. He don't seem to like to have nothin' much to say about 'em. Seems like he has money a-plenty to carry him along, an' he talks some o' settin' up a store somewhars."
The ICONOCLAST is only tickling you with snipe-shot now; but don't forget for one moment that it has buck a-plenty in its belt. A word to the lady students of Baylor: Young ladies, this controversy does not in the least concern you. The ICONOCLAST has never questioned your good character.

"I can't hardly look you in the face," he apologized, with his most winning smile. "I reckon I've been a nuisance a-plenty, getting sick on your hands like a kid." Mrs. Corbett answered his smile as she arranged the coverlets.
"Elle va m'epouser!" he exclaimed violently. "I will stake my life on it. She will; she must!" "Must!" The woman raised her hand. "You say that to an American girl?" "We're not at the finis yet!" An ugly crispness was manifest in his tones. "There are ports and priests a-plenty, and this voyage is apt to be a long one, unless she consents " "Charming man!" She spoke almost absently now.
Who ever saw a kitten with a grouch? Or a little puppy who was a pessimist? But you have seen sad children a-plenty, and we are not blaming the Almighty for that either. God's plans have been all right, but they have been badly interfered with by human beings.
In two minutes he had got it all ciphered out, and wasn't only just going to find the corpse no, he was going to get on the track of that murderer and hunt HIM down, too; and not only that, but he was going to stick to him till "Well," I says, "you better find the corpse first; I reckon that's a-plenty for to-day. For all we know, there AIN'T any corpse and nobody hain't been murdered.
"You mean to say the whole pasture's full of it?" "Not likely, but it looks to me as if there was a-plenty. There were traces back there where we stopped, and there's no telling how many more " "But I didn't see nothin'," interrupted Bud in surprise. "You weren't looking for it, that's why," shrugged Stratton. "I was.
Harshaw nodded. His mind was preoccupied with the problem before them. "The bulk of 'em are down in this gulch back of the ridge. We met 'em on the summit and drove 'em back. I judge they've had a-plenty. We'll rout 'em out soon now." A brisk fire went on steadily between the Utes in the gulch and the whites on the ridge.
