For the admission that he had inspected the Kamatlah field just before his dummies had filed upon it would at least tend to aggravate suspicion that the entries were not bona-fide. It was rather an awkward moment. Diane blamed herself because she had brought the men together socially. Why had she not asked Gordon more explicitly what his business was? Peter grinned a little uncomfortably.
They're very nice people, but they can't talk," said Una to Bessie Kraker, at lunch in the office, on a February day. "How do yuh mean 'can't talk'? Are they dummies?" inquired Bessie. "Dummies?" "Yuh, sure, deef and dumb." "Why, no, I mean they don't talk my language they don't, oh, they don't, I suppose you'd say 'conversationalize. Do you see?" "Oh yes," said Bessie, doubtfully.
"But we mustn't forget that office hours are only seven or eight out of the twenty-four." "But you don't suspect burglary, do you?" "I'm afraid, as yet, I've precious little ground for suspecting anything definite," Hewitt answered; "but we must keep awake to every possibility. Now let us see the dummies." He turned them over, and loosened them wherever they were tied.
"Well, I guess when I go to buying women's frizzes to wear to get a place, she'll know it," said the other man. "Good lord! if it's the outside of the head they want, why don't they get dummies and done with it? I tell you what is needed is a new union." Just at that moment they reached a restaurant from which came an odor of soup. Carroll turned to his companion.

Of course the things were dummies, as I might have guessed from their presence. 'It was after that, I think, that we came to a little open court within the palace. It was turfed, and had three fruit-trees.
"In the meantime," continued Rupert, "we had better get up the dummies, and post them in the most conspicuous places, so as to make the greatest show possible." "I advise that they be fixed a little way from the ramparts, so that we can pass in front of them," said Percy.
It was manifest that Count Medole and the Government of Milan worked everywhere to conquer the people for the king before the king had done a stroke to conquer the Austrians for the people; while, in order to reduce them to the condition of Piedmontese soldiery, the flame of their patriotic enthusiasm was systematically damped, and instead of apprentices in war, who possessed at any rate the elementary stuff of soldiers, miserable dummies were drafted into the royal service.
A Hales rifle-grenade used to cost 25s. and it came down to 15s. a little later, but once fired as a dummy it was not much use to fire again. Dummies could have been made for about 1s. at the most, but of course no one in England thought about a trifle like that; and so the colossal waste went on all the time I had the training in hand.
The Jew got no further, for with a strong push Dick sent him staggering among the dummies in front of his store. He tried to recover his balance, but could not, and over he went, bringing down two of the dummies on top of him. "Serves you right," flung back Dick, as he ran on. "The next time you'll know enough to leave me alone." "Isaac! Moses!
