Psmith slid from his stool, and made his way deferentially towards him. 'Bannister's a fool, snapped Mr Rossiter. 'So I thought, said Psmith. 'A perfect fool. He always was. Psmith shook his head sorrowfully, as who should say, 'Exit Bannister. 'There is no team playing today to touch Manchester United. 'Precisely what I said to Comrade Bannister. 'Of course. You know something about it.
He quite openly wedged his way in to sit on the other side of her; he said that he could see they didn't need the gaslight when Miss Monroe was along. Rodney said she was Brunhilde, and Bannister's comment was that she could save wig bills with that hair! Florence said eagerly that she loved Brunhilde let's see, what opera did that come in? It was the Ring, anyway.
I wisht they was here, one or both; I wisht they would step up here and fight it out. Bannister's a false alarm, and that foreman of the Lazy D " His tongue stumbled over a blur of vilification that ended with a foul mention of Miss Messiter. Instantly two chairs crashed to the floor. Two pair of gray eyes met quietly. "My quarrel, Bann," said Jim, in a low, even voice. The other nodded.
Her father had so ordered his life in his relation to his children that Ruth's affection was not so deep as it might have been; but, after all, he was William Bannister's grandfather, and, as such, entitled to consideration. It was these reflections that led to Steve's state visit to John Bannister probably the greatest fiasco on record.

"I felt it from the first," continued Miss Clifford. "You see, his symptoms were so exactly like Bannister's that is the maid who is ill.
Bell fetched the Kite round with the jerk that came close to tearin' the bitts out o' the Grotkau, an' I mind I thanked my Maker in young Bannister's cabin when we were inside Plymouth breakwater. "The first to come aboard was McRimmon, wi' Dandie. Did I tell you our orders were to take anything we found into Plymouth?
"There's someone on board her," said Jimmy Toppan. "Yes," replied Captain Bannister, "it's Clarence. He's havin' some breakfast, I guess. He helped me bring her up river last night, and he slept on board. He aint goin' with us, but he'll help us with this stuff." Then he shouted: "Hey! Clarence!" The "Hoppergrass" was Captain Bannister's boat, he had just bought her.
It seemed very strange that so long a time had passed since the arrival of the Haverleys into the neighborhood, and she had never yet seen his sister. In Miss Bannister's mind there was a central point, about which clustered everything connected with Cobhurst: that point was a young man, and the house was his house, and the fields were his fields, and the girl was his sister.
"Are you going to Dora Bannister's again?" she asked. "Yes," said Ralph; "at least I think I shall stop in to see the dog. You know the oftener I do that, the better." "I think it is a shame," said Miriam, "that you should be driving to town alone, when there are other people who wish so much to go, and you have no use at all for that empty seat." "Who wants to go?" asked Ralph, quickly.
Had Penelope spent hours in devising a way of making it plain to me that the link between the past and the present was broken, she could not have been more adroit.
