"I know how to get out. Mr. Cass told me." "Your knowledge of a method of egress does not warrant an extension of your visit to midnight, does it?" asked Mary laughingly. "Considering the attractions presented, I think they do," replied Quincy, banteringly. She resumed her story. "There was a man in the case, young, handsome, and wealthy. Just such a man as she should have married.
Last year it was archaeology, the year before, basketry, this year it happened to be eugenics, or something funny like that, next year again it might be book-binding. "So you and your pink and white shepherdess are going off on a little trip together?" she queried banteringly. "The girl's a darling, Lendicott!
So I said banteringly, "I'll wager you my hat that you dare not get out and drive that terrific beast away." "The idea of Emily's being afraid of a cow, after facing Dapple!" cried Reuben. "Well, we'll see," I said. "Stop the rockaway here." "What should I do with your hat, Mr. Morton?" "Wear it, and suffer the penalty," laughed Adah.
His tones were steady; all his fright was gone. The steel slithered and ground. "You know me, eh?" said the old man, banteringly. His blade ripped a hole in the cloak. "You have a voice that sounds strangely familiar to my ears." "Your ears will soon be dull and cold, if you do not let me pass." "Was it gold, or jewels? . . . Jesus!"
He took the key and balanced it lightly in the palm of his hand. "Is this the key of the famous bedroom safe?" he said banteringly. Kara was looking down at him with a quizzical smile. "It isn't the safe you opened in my absence, on one memorable occasion, Mr. Meredith," he said. "As you probably know, I have changed that safe, but perhaps you don't feel equal to the task?"
"There are plenty of words in the first termination that are just as short. Why? You're the teacher; you ought to know." She said it banteringly, as if she dared him to give the reason. His eyes came back from their distant groping, meeting hers with gentle boldness. So for a little while he looked silently into her appealing eyes, then turned away.
And have you all seen to it that you are dressed in your warmest clothes? You know," he continued, banteringly, "if you were at this moment called to get into the boats, you would be very sorry when you afterwards remembered that in your hurry you had left all your valuables behind you. And boating in this weather is a most unpleasantly cold business, I assure you."
"That would be a better plan if we must separate," said Nathaniel, whose voice betrayed the reluctance with which he assented to the project. He had guessed shrewdly at Neil's motive. "Is it possible that we may have another young lady passenger?" he asked banteringly. There was no answering humor to this in Neil's eyes. "I wish we might!" he said quietly. "We can!" exclaimed Nathaniel. "My ship "
I'll be talking business with you, the first thing I know." "I only wish you would!" Cicily answered, with a note of pleading in her tones. "Nonsense!" was the gruff exclamation. "The idea of talking business with you. That would be a joke, wouldn't it?" He spoke banteringly, with no perception of the gravity in his wife's desire to share in this phase of his life.
A moment later a shell flew past so close that the windage almost staggered him, but the daring lad only cried banteringly: "That's more like it. One more a little closer and I'll show you a home run worth seeing." And so it went until he was espied from the bridge and peremptorily ordered down.
