"When you fall down on an exam the rest of us better give up. You know perfectly well you'll get by.
Only once, when he felt her arm trembling, he turned and said harshly: "Why do you tremble?" "It is cold!" said she, monotonously. "And yet," said he, laughing derisively, "it is such lovely, invigorating weather." They went onward silently; they entered the castle and ascended the steps to the apartment of the princess.

"Certumly I'll get married," asserted Maurice stoutly.
With an exasperating readiness of conclusion, the crowd congratulated him upon his change of heart, they welcomed to their ranks, with much clinking of water glasses, another true lover, and Smith sang derisively an adaptation of his own: "Pellams Chase, the Glee Club Man, Swore upon the book For wife he'd have a cider-can, For bed the ingle-nook Petticoats he thus forsook!"
High up on the top of a dead tree-trunk, in the center of a smoky hollow, a flicker was shouting out derisively, "Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut!" in scorn of all this frivolous humanity gone a-fairing. The procession crossed the railroad track just as the afternoon express went thundering past.
