"Don't mind him, poor fellow," said Fred, with a laugh at my want of success in eliciting an answer from the office: "don't you see that he is hungry, and misses the comfort which his Mother has been in the habit of yielding." The sword hilt was withdrawn from the young fellow's mouth in an instant, and his face flushed as red as his scarlet uniform.
"We can't leave him here to die, perhaps," he added softly. "We can at least make an attempt to save his life." He bent down, and, putting a hand under each of the man's arms, lifted him slightly, eliciting a moan of pain. "You take his feet, Chet, and, Ferd, you support his back," he directed. "Now then "

The cabby, recovering from his amazement, was plying an indefatigable whip and thereby eliciting a degree of speed from his superannuated nag, that his fare had by no means hoped for, much less anticipated.
One little boy said to another, "Ah, wouldn't you be afraid to be put into a den of lions?" "Oh, yes," was the reply. And so the question went all round, eliciting the same answer. At last the youngest of the party reached himself forward and pulled his brother by the sleeve, saying, "Johnny, Johnny, if lions are afraid of praying people, they'd be afraid of mother wouldn't they?

Harry, in the meanwhile, had entered the dining-room, and, eliciting from a footman that his uncle was in, poured out something from a decanter on the side table, and, without waiting to refresh himself further, went down the passage leading to Lord Bromley's sanctum. "'The lion in his den, the Douglas in his hall," muttered he to himself. "I shall be a man or a mouse when I come out."
"All in the dark!" exclaimed Mrs. Aylett, at the door. "And what a stifling odor of chloroform!" Mabel got up, and drew a heavy travelling-shawl that covered Herbert's lower limbs over his arms and chest. "I will open the window!" she said, deprecatingly. A sluice of cold air rushed in, beating the blaze this way and that, puffing ashes from the hearth into the room, and eliciting from Mrs.

In the middle of a bright Friday afternoon she dropped anchor alongside her companion craft, Phil doing wild and ecstatic things with the whistle and eliciting no response from the Follow Me. Steve and Phil donned proper shore-going togs and tumbled into the dingey.
