"Couvre-pieds to set your teeth on edge, from the non-commissioned officers' wives; and the awfullest banner-screen you ever saw, worked by the drum-major's own hands, with Her Majesty's arms on one side, and the De Courcy ones on the other, and glass eyes like stuffed birds' to the lion and unicorn. We nearly expired from suppressed laughter under the presentation."
"Well," said Mrs. Maynard, "before you quarrel for the honor of this dreadful deed, suppose you tell me what it is."

Peter licked his dry lips and found it impossible to look at Linda. "Straight ahead with it," he said gravely. "What did you do?" "Oh, I have done the awfullest thing," wailed Linda, "the most unforgivable thing!" She reached across and laid hold of the hand next her, and realizing that she needed it for strength and support, Peter gave it into her keeping. "Yes?" he questioned.

On the next day, however, Mooney came into the house to see the judge, and he said, "Judge, that man cheated you in that cow. Why, she's the awfullest old beast that ever stood on four legs Dry as punk; hasn't got a drop of milk in her. That's a positive fact. I've been trying to milk her for three or four hours, and can't get a drop. Might as well attempt to milk a clothes-horse. Regular fraud!"
