The colonel coincided, and said in justice to his antagonist that he would have to acquit him of this charge. He did not now believe that Mr. Klutchem had run away. Fitz, who up to this time had enjoyed every turn in the discussion, and who had listened to Yancey with a face like a stone god, his knees shaking with laughter, now threw another bombshell almost as disastrous as the first.
Such a man is Mercer, an ice-cool fighter, with a sense of discipline and decorum which prevented him from moving when a bombshell was fizzing between his feet, and yet a man of thoughtful and philosophic temperament, with a weakness for solitary musings, for children, and for flowers.
Of course every one was amused or professed to be, for it was a diversion welcomed by the three men of us who had seen the young girl's embarrassment. "A griffin," said I, "is a thing of joy. Mr. Westonhaugh was a griffin when he gave Mr. Isaacs that historical rupee." I cast my little bombshell into the conversation, and placidly went on manipulating my rice.

"The leader of society." "Alas!" exclaimed Nancy, "I have been accused of many terrible things." Their glances met. Nancy's was amused, baffling, like a spark in amber. Each, in its way, was redoubtable.
The heroine, to the amazement of the village gossips, has run away with the schoolmaster and married him in the next county. A certain character in the picture runs in with this bombshell of news and explodes it in the midst of the group about the sewing table. The day before this point had failed to make much impression upon the amateur members of the company engaged in this typical scene.
And now the ruling characteristic of Little Tim beset him severely. His head felt like a bombshell of fermenting ingenuity.
Oh, I have it 'from the middle and humbler walks of English life; not blue Mayflowers, but common colors can't you see that it will be such larks for me to use this little fact like a little bombshell, when Mrs. Arkwright, or Maud, or Flo Aplin, or any of these Mayflower braggers begin to hold forth?" "Why, Kitty, I thought you liked Maud and Flo!"
