I had in mind the dummy actors and dummy scenery with which stage managers try out their acts, only in this instance there was never any rehearsal on the actual stage with the actual scenery unless a first attack had failed, as the Germans will not permit such liberties except under machine gun fire.
Carwell in several transactions involving some big business deals. Mr. Bartlett had been smart enough, by forming a directorate within a directorate and by means of a dummy company, to get a large sum to his credit, while Mr. Carwell was left to face a large deficit. "And Harry Bartlett acted as agent for his uncle in the transactions!" exclaimed Miss Carwell as she looked over the papers.
With trembling fingers they unfolded it. The sheet was blank! They stared at each other, puzzled. "A dummy?" hazarded Julius. "Was Danvers just a decoy?" Tommy shook his head. That solution did not satisfy him. Suddenly his face cleared. "I've got it! "You think so?" "Worth trying anyhow. Heat usually does the trick. Get some sticks. We'll make a fire."
He made us peep through loopholes, each and every different from the other, yet each and every skilfully hidden from an enemy's observation. We stood beside trenches of every shape and kind while he pointed out their good and bad points; he brought us to a place where dummy figures had been set up, their rags a-flutter, forlorn objects in the rain.
"I was sore enough at the little dummy to shake her. She let the other five put it all over her. I haven't seen her since she flivvered and I don't want to." "She never could play basket ball," was Natalie's lofty assertion. "She didn't show any signs of it yesterday," Leslie grimly agreed.

Now and again a regiment or a brigade, having finished its training, disappeared in a night, and the next day fresh troops arrived to fill its place. And this great, silent movement of men went on all over the country. Sometimes our hearts sank. A reserve Howitzer Territorial Brigade turned up in Wellings Park with dummy wooden guns.
"I will answer that!" said Lotys, her eyes flashing, her bosom heaving, and her whole figure instinct with pride and passion; "The King could do everything! The King could be a man if he chose, instead of a dummy!
"That's the way!" cheered Dick. "Now, you look alive, Hazelton." "That was because I had something to tackle that was alive," Harry retorted. "It's much easier to tackle a living fellow than a stuffed dummy. What's the good of using the dummy, anyway, when we have plenty of live fellows around here?" "Oh, the dummy has its uses," Dick replied wisely.
Currelly ascribes the absence of all remains to the plunderers, but the fact is that there probably never was anything in it but an empty sarcophagus. Near the tomb Mr. Weigall discovered some dummy mastabas, a find of great interest.
Dummy fetched his father, who listened in turn without a word. "Sounds well, Rugg," said Sir Edward. "Yes, Sir Edward; sounds well." "But is the grotto likely to run so far?" "Lots on 'em do. There's one yonder up in the Peak as goes for miles, and they've never yet found the end, nor where the water goes." "Well," said Sir Edward, after a few minutes' thought; "I'm afraid to be too sanguine.
