'No, he ain't, said Peterson. 'It's true, strike me breath. We got a specimen this mornin' wif three colours in it. 'So if anyone's told where we're hidin' they'll see the stone an' go an' jump the mine, said Dick artfully.
"Oh, I've no doubt whatever that you could get yourself obeyed; but the position the whole thing you'd find it a great strain, and people aren't as a rule particularly helpful to a woman they see doing what they call a man's job." "I don't want anyone's help. I know my own business and my poor father's ways. That's enough for me." "Did your father ever say anything to you about this?"
Oliver's smile in answer held relief beyond words. It wasn't the ordinary cosmos again quite yet but at least from now on he felt perfectly sure that no matter how irregular anyone's actions might become, in speech at least, every last least one of the social conventions would be scrupulously observed. "I think if you could help me, Sargent " said Mrs. Severance delicately.
There was nothing for it but to hurry along, but the fact didn't improve his temper, which was already bad. To walk three-quarters of a mile in the expectation of getting a valuable registered parcel and then discover on opening it that it contained only two folded copies of a daily newspaper was enough to sour anyone's disposition! And that is what had happened to Dreer.
I could hardly draw anyone's attention to the fact that the cavalry had passed us, and that we were on the outpost of the whole army, when an order came for our regiment to go forward as rapidly as possible and occupy an octagon house in our immediate front.

"No, of course not," cried Dick.
I told you I was a coward, and so I am, especially in matters of that sort. It is an awful thing to me to lose anyone's good opinion. My pride, I suppose; but really I can't help it," Mary answered with a shrug. "Yet you have told me," said Katherine, forcing a smile. "Were you not afraid of losing my good opinion, or was it that you did not care?"
Here is an actual situation. Exemption from it is beyond anyone's province. Whether we will or no, we are from the beginning of our inquiry immersed in a doctrine which disguises nature to us, and already at bottom constitutes a complete metaphysic. This we term common-sense, and positive science is itself only an extension and refinement of it.
That instant the monkey jumped down from the tree and fell on Kari's neck; he was very glad to see his friend safe again. But Kari was in no humor for anyone's caresses and he shook Kopee off. The first thing I did was to pull some branches from a tree which Kari devoured hungrily. A hungry elephant is not to be bothered by anyone. I had learned my lesson.
Belloc, there's a reason why I'd like to change without anyone's knowing what has become of me I mean, anyone that might be watching me."
