By this time the rapier was making a criss-cross pattern of flashing lines close to the young man's head while Alice, in the enjoyment of her exercise, seemed to concentrate all the glowing rays of her beauty in her face, her eyes dancing merrily. "Quit, now, Alice," he begged, half in fun and half in abject fear; "please quit I surrender!"
He's going to put Greer on the scrub to-morrow." "That's where you might as well be," answered the big center good-naturedly. "The idea of playing a criss-cross with your right end on the side-line!" "We took two yards just the same," replied Warren. "We gave it to you, my lad, because we knew that if you lost on such a fool play your name would be well, anything but Thomas 'Stumpy' Warren."
And, sitting down on a log, her hands pressed to her cheeks and her elbows to her breast, she stared at the sunlit bracken and the flies chasing each other over it. Love! Was it always something hateful and tragic that spoiled lives? Criss-cross! One darting on another, taking her almost before she knew she was seized, then darting away and leaving her wanting to be seized again.
"My friends," cried Paul, "are people with great true hearts like the Winwoods and the princess, if you like and you, and Barney Bill." "That's a sentiment as does you credit," said the old man. "Great true hearts! Now if you ain't satisfied, my dear, you're a damn criss-cross female. And yer ain't, are yer? She laughed and Paul laughed. The little spell of intensity was broken.

"Who told ye I was a bach'lor? Not by a big jump. I've been married mighty nigh on to twenty times in my day.
She did criss-cross and cross-criss, and every other stitch that was ever invented. So I said to myself, 'Miss Carter must go, and I took her out on a rather stormy day, and we got into mid-current. Mother and the servants came shouting to us to get out of it; but of course we couldn't, and poor Miss Carter, how she did shriek!
How about all these other young men; are they anybody?" "What other young men?" "The ones with these criss-cross red ribbons." "Oh! Well, some few of them have what you might call position, and some are working for it, and some are not thinking anything about it; and some, after having served their purpose, will be dropped soon enough, I promise you."
They were beginning to light the lamps, and the reflections showed a criss-cross of white lines on the muddy road, where the water stood in the wheel-tracks. There was a dark vehicle coming down the road now, making a fresh track in the mud, and leaving two shimmering lines behind it as it went.
He was very hot and very thirsty, and it seemed to him that he had been walking for many days through many, many endless deserts, but he intended to criss-cross the Sahara, or any other desert, through all eternity, until he could deliver the book he held between his formidable teeth to his beloved mistress.
After chota-hazri I generally go for a walk with the children. There is one good broad road passing the bungalow which leads away to the Back of Beyond, but we prefer the little tracks worn by the feet of the natives, which criss-cross everywhere. Jean won't stir a step without a horrid, dilapidated rag doll called Topsy.
