From the first they had been drawn together; they were searching in an eager way for the same object; they had both been at a public school and once, when Shafto dropped a word about Sandhurst, Roscoe said: "I was intended for the Army, but I couldn't pass the doctor rather a facer after scraping through the exam.; when that was knocked on the head, I got a post as assistant-master, but I couldn't stick it for more than a couple of years; after that, I was in a newspaper office; then I got badly stage-struck and went on the boards.
This was more than enough for the much-enduring, much-perspiring shepherd, who, with a gleam of joy over his broad visage, delivered a terrific facer upon our large, benevolent, middle-aged friend who went down like a shot. Still the Chicken holds; death not far off. "Snuff! a pinch of snuff!" observed a calm, highly-drest young buck, with an eyeglass in his eye.
You are no more fit to be a nun than a pauper." Not having foreseen this facer, Rosa had nothing ready; so she received it with a sad, submissive, helpless sigh, as who would say, "Hit me, papa: I have no friend now."

He stretched himself, lay back in his chair, sent a smoke-ring circling toward the ceiling, and watched it, smiling absently. "Rather a facer for our friend Goldberger," he added, after a minute. "What's the matter with Goldberger? He seemed rather peeved with you this afternoon." "No wonder. He's Grady's man, and we're after Grady.
"Of course it had to come sooner or later, and I knew it had to come. Well, here it is, that's all, and there's no use whining. And that's why he's been so jumpy lately: he had a bad conscience. Poor old chap, he must have been having a beastly bad time of it." Poppy mused a little. "Still, it's a facer," she added, "and a precious nasty one, too."

It was a facer for both of us to be recognized, and to have all that thrown up against us, after thirty years' honest work!" The three listeners looked silently at each other. A moment of suspence passed. Then Tallington put the question which all three were burning with eagerness to have answered. "Mr. Cotherstone! do you know who killed Kitely?" "No!" answered Cotherstone.
And, as far as Kingozi could see, the sole purport of the whole affair was not topography but a route to the country of M'tela! Here was a facer! As far as any one knew, the country he had just traversed was unexplored. Yet here was a good detailed map of just that route.
"I never quite realized it before. Are there more accounts against me?" "That," said Dane slowly, "is rather a facer. We are all more or less friends of the dominant family, you see."
