"Much too late," replied Lady Susan promptly, though her eyes, too, were unwontedly soft. "Besides, I could never bear to be parted from the Tribes of Israel and you know you can't stand a dog about the house." "Drat the man!" she muttered crossly to herself, as the train bearing the Brabazons Londonwards steamed out of the station.
But Williams was in an exceptionally good temper this morning. Everything had turned out as he had hoped for and anticipated, and the literal kicking-out of Henson the previous evening was still fresh and sweet in his memory. It would be something to boast of in his declining years. "Drat the dogs," he exclaimed. "Now, what's the matter? I had better go and see. Got a fox in a hole, perhaps!

And presently there's a trip out to Reno and the little squib in the paper and er ahem! Drat your picture, Joe, you're the responsible party.

The Colonel rose, laughing, and hit the Captain on the back. "Drat you, Lige, why don't you kiss the girl? Can't you see she's waiting?" The honest Captain stole one glance at Virginia, and turned red copper color.
