They went through all the grotesque attitudes and steps which they use in their pantomimes of great victories. This savage play was quickly stilled, however, as groans of pain and shouts of furious anger came to us. Now the cheering was that of white voices only. There was the noise of many feet hurrying back to the camp.
"Well, the ordinary view may be appreciated, even if it's not entirely embraced," said the Dean diplomatically. "The points of agreement are usually much more important, for practice at all events, than those of difference." "In fact shut one eye and go ahead?" asked Marchmont.

Soon in the cloudy sky the cannonade rolled about in broad day, which was still so gray that long wide flashes of flame could be seen to spring far out before every report from the guns of Fort Hell, and in the haze but few of the rebel shells shrieking along their high curve could be clearly seen bursting over Hancock's cheering men.
From the expression on the face of each one as he emerged from the door it was evident that the meeting had not produced any very cheering or conclusive results. McGaw had that vindictive, ugly, bulldog look about the eyes and mouth which always made his wife tremble when he came home.

Ab had long since forgotten Oak.
Arthur Price slipped then and came to his knees. Ashore, the party was cheering. "Up with you, Arthur," cried the old man in an agony. "Them people's looking. Stiffen up, my boy." "Half speed ahead!" droned the pilot, never turning his head. The old man rattled the handle over and stooped to his son. "You can lie down when you turn her over to the mate," he said grimly.
I trow that many men would smile at me were I to put my thoughts into words, for it seems to me that for us who call ourselves after the sacred name of Christ there can be no higher or holier service than the service in which He himself embarked, and bid His followers do likewise feeding the hungry, ministering to the sick, cheering the desolate, binding up the broken heart, being eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.
