Jack Winters reached home, and had his bath in time to come to the table when the supper bell rang. And it goes without saying that his appetite showed no sign of flagging on that occasion, for football work is calculated to put a keen edge on a boy's natural desire for food.
There was something of the sort in the back of her locket, she remembered with satisfaction. Just then there was a peculiar stir in the flagging crowd. Someone had arrived, a coureur de bois from the north. Where was the commandant? the coureur had something important for him. Beverley heard a remark in a startled voice about the English getting ready for a descent upon the Wabash valley.
Gun had "set out his packing" by feeding him and put him in a bed at the Grand Central Hotel nicknamed the "Grayback's Corral." Gun thought he would have to reform, before the M. M. put him into active service. He was a good engineer, but drank too much, and lastly, he was in so bad a condition he could not get himself into headquarters unless someone helped him by "flagging" for him.

The return of Archibius with the children, however, had visibly reanimated her flagging energy. She often went to Didymus's garden, which was now connected with the palace at Lochias, to watch their work and share whatever interested their young hearts.

"I rather think she had you," said Fairway. "No," said Grandfer Cantle, his countenance slightly flagging. "'Tisn't so bad as that with me?" "Seemingly 'tis, however, is it because of the wedding that Clym is coming home a' Christmas to make a new arrangement because his mother is now left in the house alone?" "Yes, yes that's it. But, Timothy, hearken to me," said the Grandfer earnestly.
