His example was followed by all; a few moments and the last rays of the sinking sun lay only upon bare stone and earth.
The Indian sprang up, grinning: his welcome and doffing a Mexican steeple-hat. "I must introduce you all around," Jack told Mary. She observed in his manner something new! a positive enthusiasm for his three retainers, which included a certain well-relished vanity in their loyalty and character. "Firio has Sancho Panza beaten to a frazzle," Jack said.
Standing there before the Flag, Jack quietly doffed his cap. "Thank you, Benson," acknowledged the major, also doffing his own cap. Then, closing the door, Major Woodruff stepped back to the table on which lay chart and book. "This chart, Benson, shows what the rascal Millard, has been doing out on the neck. This book proves that he has been at work at some other points.
Now he thought that there were fish in it, and he made it fast, and doffing his clothes went into the water, and dived and haled until he drew it up upon dry land.

But as for the girl your gallantry misleads you."

"God save the King!" said Robin, doffing his cap loyally; "and all that wish him well! I am Robin Hood, but I say cursed be the man who denies our liege King's sovereignty!" "Have a care!" said the knight, "or you shall curse yourself!"
Indeed, it is no more than the truth that I'm going to tell you. Very well! Cackle away, and be damned!" Here everyone without exception dropped his work to shout with merriment and clap his hands: with the result that, doffing his cap, and thereby disclosing a silvered, symmetrically shaped head with one bald spot amid its one dark portion, Ossip was forced to shout severely: "Hi, you Budirin!
