Crocker was summoned to an interview with the old woman; and the match was then and there declared to be broken off. "What are your intentions, sir, as to supporting that young woman?" Mrs. Demijohn demanded with all the severity of which she was capable. Crocker was so broken-hearted that he had not a word to say for himself. He did not dare to suggest that perhaps he might not be dismissed.
Logan got his division in position for assault before Crocker could get up, and attacked with vigor, carrying the enemy's position easily, sending Gregg flying from the field not to appear against our front again until we met at Jackson. In this battle McPherson lost 66 killed, 339 wounded, and 37 missing nearly or quite all from Logan's division.
Pett was in no mood for Anglicisms. "You know perfectly well, Eugenia," she said heatedly, "that James Crocker is being ruined here.

Crocker's face cleared. "That's true." "And I'll cable you the scores every day, dad," said Jimmy. Mrs. Crocker looked at him with a touch of disapproval clouding the happiness of her face. "Are you staying over here, James? There is no reason why you should not come back, too. If you make up your mind to change your habits " "I have made up my mind to change them.
"How am I to know you're on the level?" Mr. Crocker played a daring card. "All right," he said, making a move towards the door. "It's up to youse. If you t'ink I'm not on de level, I'll beat it." "Here, stop a minute," said Ogden hastily, unwilling that a promising business deal should be abandoned in this summary manner. "I'm not saying anything against you.
Well, it is a great responsibility that I take upon myself, but I have given Hopkins an excellent hint, and if he can't avail himself of it I can do no more.

I am the judge.
