I can scarcely blame Inspector Bray for holding me; what I can not understand is why Colonel Hughes But you want, of course, the whole story from the beginning; and I shall give it to you.
Too often had his trombone trespassed, with its brazen bray, upon the time which the composer had allotted to the soft, delightful flute, to leave the slightest doubt of its performer's rank incompetence. It had been the talk of this man which had fascinated Kreutzer; it was the city of this man's wild fancy which the flute-player expected to encounter when he reached New York.
"I cannot keep her away without satisfying her demands. If you were to see her yourself, you would know just what her demands were. If you do not see her, you will only have my word for it, and I am left open to misapprehension, if not worse. I don't like to be placed in such a position."

Already, as she nerved herself for the deed, she had typed out her location notice in duplicate; filling in the exact description of the boundaries from the records of the Old Juan claim.

"You ought to break yourself of the habit," said the Sawhorse. "You never hear me snore, because I never sleep. I don't even whinny, as those puffy meat horses do.

Leaping to her feet, in her impatience, she ran to meet him, and found him lying on the earth, staring silently at the sky.
In ascribing them to a weariness at Fenellan's perpetual acquiescence, he put the cover on them, and he stamped it with a repudiation of the charge, that Colney's views upon the great Marriage Question were the 'very hee-haw of nonsense. They were not the hee-haw; in fact, viewing the host of marriages, they were for discussion; there was no bray about them.
You'll find them with every outfit, an' you'll know them chiefly by their bray an' their long, hairy ears." The young man now smiled into his plate, while a chorus of laughter rose around him. In making himself appear as ridiculous a figure as the others, the young man had successfully extracted all the sting from his story and gained the applause of even those at whom he had struck.
But instead of words, a loud braying was heard in the theater, so loud and so long that all the spectators men, women, and children, but especially the children burst out laughing.
