"I was a sergeant; and the surgeon could not find the bullet after Big Bend, Luzon; so they were sorry and gave me a certificate and two dollars a month to my pay," said the man, so succinctly and colorlessly that Armitage laughed. "Yon have done well, Oscar; honor me by accepting a cigar." The man took a cigar from the box which Armitage extended, but would not light it.
But some hovering imp of darkness instantly popped it into his head to ask: "Have you seen Queed?" "No," said Sharlee, colorlessly. "Not since " "You didn't know, then, that he has left the Post?" "Left the Post!" she echoed, with a face suddenly rigid. "No! Did he? Won't you tell me ?" West looked unhappily at the floor. "Well I'd much rather not go into this now.
We know the young." "I don't feel that I've done so very much for him," said Randolph, rather colorlessly. "You were inclined to." "H'm, yes. I could have opened up avenues that would have made his year here a very different thing. Perhaps he didn't realize what I could do. And perhaps he found me too old."

One of the jury asked a question, not without obvious hesitation. "Then was there never anything of the nature of what they call Words between you and your husband, ma'am?" "Never." The word was colorlessly spoken; but everyone felt that a crass misunderstanding of the possibilities of conduct in the case of a person like Mrs. Manderson had been visited with some severity.
It will be our effort to deal with the matter as colorlessly as is consistent with an adequate setting forth of the motives which moved Mrs. Stowe to awaken this unsavory discussion.
