You may depend upon it, Margaret was not looking her worst that afternoon.
Only the best in Germany is diligently kept before our people. The worst is never known as you and I are learning to know it over here." "So you think," said Gard companionably, "that the Kaiser will set his fiery ball rolling this spring." "I put the date at March first." The old man's hands trembled as he relighted his cigar stub. His voice almost broke.
Hanlon came to a punctilious salute, which Admiral Rogers returned as precisely before resuming his seat. "Senior Lieutenant George Hanlon, at ease." He grinned companionably at the young man's start of surprise. "Promotions are swift in the Secret Service, Hanlon. Now, go through that door.

It means that as surely as the dogs carry us there you will never come back. Mon Dieu, your death is certain!" Howland turned briskly to the stove. "Hungry, Jean?" he asked more companionably.

I guess that clew isn't going to amount to much." "It may!" insisted Jackson. "They may have had Mr. Nestor in the car all the while concealed in the back you know.
"Not unless you want to make rounds with the boys again. It will be some time before you can have any night-life." Hanlon made a sign of distaste and shook his head. "Unh-uh, thanks. Two big-heads in a row will last me for plenty time. I'll go get some shut-eye." The leader smiled companionably. "The rest might be best, for you'll have a rather rough trip.
A bowl of bronze chrysanthemums stood on the dressing table where lay the tortoise-shell toilet articles given her by Miss Craven. A tiny clock ticked companionably on the mantelpiece. The pain in his eyes deepened as they swept the room with hungry eagerness to take in every particular. Her room! The room from which his unworthiness had barred him.
There is something in human nature which causes the man in his shirt-sleeves to wish all other men to appear in the same deshabille. "I will, if you ask me after I've talked with you two minutes," said the young fellow, companionably pulling up the chair offered him toward the desk where Lapham had again seated himself.
