Balt Haer, who had obviously already had a few, looked at him dourly. "You can carry these things to the point of the ludicrous, captain. For a man with your ambitions, I'm surprised."
You have just acted with the most concentrated folly, and the most magnificent imbecility that you or anybody else could manage!" He said more bitterly still, "And I had to leave Murgatroyd behind to get to you in time! He was right in the path of that charge!" He turned away from her and said dourly, "All right!

It don't look quite right and it can't be made to. It's bad, bad business," he added dourly. "Still, I'll do what I can. I can't promise much, but I've always liked ye and I'll not be turning on ye now unless I have to.
"I want a change," said Old Jim dourly in response to her inquiry; and went on polishing wheel-spokes, and making the wheel fly. "I've bin 'ere too long.

He knew the supreme optimism of amateur huntsmen and the general disinclination of the King of Beasts to be holed by a bullet. "Unless a lion is ravenously hungry he will not put in an appearance," he replied.
"I've got a blame good notion to pack you to town to-day, Boy, and try and find out where you belong," he said, while he was feeding him oatmeal mush with sugar and canned milk. "It's pretty cold, though..." He cast a slant-eyed glance at Cash, dourly frying his own hotcakes. "We'll see what it looks like after a while. I sure have got to hunt up your folks soon as I can.
