And I didn't have any woman Vida 's become so married and proprietary." "Well, next time you'll have better sense." He patted her head, flumped down behind his newspaper, said nothing more. Enemies leered through the windows, stole on her from the hall. She had no one save Erik. This kind good man Kennicott he was an elder brother.
"I thought Tommy was having a bad attack of epileptic fits for a moment, till it transpired that he had flumped down on a dead Boche in endeavouring to escape the searching glare of the flare. After the thing had burnt its giddy self out Tommy crawled crab-fashion over into the providential cutting in which I had taken shelter.
"Lie down, Boy." He turned half around as he flumped himself down with a sigh of relief, and, with a red flash of tongue, kissed Steward's foot. "Your dog, Steward?" Captain Duncan demanded in a smothered voice wherein struggled anger and shortness of breath. "Yes, sir. My dog. What's he been up to, sir?" The totality of what Michael had been up to choked the Captain completely.
"Hi!" they gurgled solemnly, "Hi.... Hi!" shaking their heads from side to side. Then their four frilled hands came down and they flumped out of the high bed. They performed an uproarious toilet. It seemed so safe up there in the bright bare room. Miriam's luggage had been removed.
Mis' Battis came. She entered Mrs. Gartney's presence with nonchalance, and "flumped" incontinently into the easiest and nearest chair. Mrs. Gartney began with the common preliminary the name. Mis' Battis introduced herself as before. "But your first name?" proceeded the lady. "My first name was Parthenia Franker. I'm a relic'." Mrs.
Vahna gave a little cry that was half like a yelp and half like a gasp, and flumped down on her knees before me, pleading to me with deer's eyes and to him with the eyes of a deer about to be killed that don't want to be killed. Then, for a minute that seemed as long as a life-time, she and the old fellow glared at each other.

That's what it is."
Since you like to treat your daughter like a maidservant, you may go on and search my boxes," said Janet, sulkily. "I beg your pardon, my poor child, if I am unjustly causing you this humiliation," said Caroline humbly, as Janet sullenly flumped down into a chair without answering. She took up the keys that Janet had brought with her, and tried them one by one, where Janet had been using them.
