In the press gallery the reporters bunched together their scattered papers and inspected their pencil-points with earnestness. Dorman was the best speaker of the Senate, and he was on the popular side of it.

And I'm sure Sir Redmond never meant " "I believe that kid has got a bite at last," Keith interrupted, getting up. "Let me take hold, there, Dorman; you'll be in the creek yourself in a second." He landed a four-inch fish, carefully rebaited the hook, cast the line into a promising eddy, gave the rod over to Dorman, and went back to Beatrice, who had been watching him with troubled eyes.

This last to satisfy Dorman's aunt, who wavered between anxiety and relief. "You may ride to the gate, Dorman, and then you'll have to hop down and run back to your auntie and grandma.
