He burst upon the musician, and found him in the most undisguisable dumps. "Why didn't you answer my letter, you impolite old bear?" Peter asked, warding off Beethoven with his umbrella. "I was busy," Lancelot replied pettishly. "Busy writing rubbish. Haven't you got 'Ops. enough? I bet you haven't had anything published yet." "I am working at a grand opera," he said in dry, mechanical tones.
Poker had three jet-black spots in his white visage one was the point of his nose, the other two were his eyes. Poker's bosom friend, Dumps, was so named because he had the sulkiest expression of countenance that ever fell to the lot of a dog.
Got the temper that goes with red hair, I guess. I remember a red-haired girl I used to know in Detroit " A grin succeeded the worried look on Scott's face; evidently the adventure with the red-haired girl had had its humorous side. "Well, get up, Romeo, we've got to reach that girl before Mendoza dumps her in the ditch and gets her mussed up or the boss'll fire us both."
"One of two fairies came, however," replied Maggie, "and they gave you an honest soul, and a warm heart, and and happiness, Nancy. My dear, I need only look into your eyes to know that you are happy." Nancy's blue eyes glowed with pleasure. "Yes," she said, "I don't know anything about dumps and low spirits." "And you are unselfish, Nancy; you are never seeking your own pleasure."
The procession drew up in front of the house, and Diddie, Dumps and Tot went from one end of it to the other distributing candies and apples, and oranges and toys; and how the bright faces did light up with joy as the little darkies laughed and chuckled, and I dare say would have jumped up and clapped their hands but for Aunt Nancy, who was keeping a sharp eye upon them, and who would say, as every present was delivered,

With the fourth "eglogue" the caged bird begins to sing like a lark at Heaven's gate, and it is the prisoned man who ought to be in doleful dumps that rallies his free friend Browne on his low spirits. It is time, he says, to be merry: What summer thoughts are these to come from a pale prisoner in the hot and putrid Marshalsea!
Gaps 20 to 30 feet wide were blasted in the barbed wire; some of the mine shafts about Lens were flattened and destroyed; Fritzie's supply roads were rained upon with a steady hail of hell night and day, preventing the entrance to his trenches not only of ammunition, but also of food, and prevented the withdrawal of any men from his lines; his ammunition dumps were set ablaze, the fires from them lighting up the whole country-side for miles around.
Then assembling the vast forces drained from all the fronts and having erected ammunition dumps covering many acres, the great battle commenced with a surprise attack upon the village of Haumont on February 21, 1916. The first victory of the Germans at that point was an easy one. The great fort of Douaumont was the next objective.
