Gaylord is a son of old Peter Gaylord, and is a millionaire. They are making quite a splurge in the way of balls and liveried servants, and motor cars, and the town is agog with it all.

"I know, Mummy," said Florence. "You know!" replied Mrs. Aylmer. "Who told you?" "Sukey." "I begged of her not; but really that woman can keep nothing to herself, and she is always agog to be first in the field. Your aunt is going to send me a trunk full of old clothes.

Johnny obediently waited; but he wanted to see, so he sat up on his hind legs with eyes agog and ears acock.
"Fire ships!" cried the midshipmen, when Colin told them what he had heard; "do they think to frighten English mariners with fireworks and bonfires? Good! let them try and see.
