I walked on toward that endless race of affairs and fashion, Piccadilly, scanning every door, nay, every window, in the hope that I might behold my lady's face framed therein. Here a chair was set down, there a chariot or a coach pulled up, and a clocked flunky bowing a lady in. But no Dorothy.
With a single motion of his head, while walking, he called Tamara out of the drawing room and vanished with her into her room. And there also arrived Egmont-Lavretzki the actor, clean-shaven, tall, resembling a court flunky with his vulgar and insolently contemptuous face.
The man's back was toward him, and Bill grasped the back-drawn arm at the wrist and with an ungentle jerk whirled the other in his tracks. The man released the flunky and faced him with a snarl. "Who done that?" he roared. "I did. Hit me. I tripped him." Bill's voice was dead level and low, but it carried to the farthest reaches of the room, over which had fallen a silence of expectation.
Nothing more peculiar and striking in its line is to be seen this side of the Maidan, Calcutta. Here, as in that Asiatic Champs Elysées, now and again one sees a light American trotting wagon or a heavy-wheeled English dog cart, with a dude at the reins and a liveried flunky behind holding a flaring bouquet!

"They're coming," said Tom, waving his arm toward his friends. Astro and Roger rose from their places of concealment and darted forward. "Get in the house, quick!" ordered Logan.

I knew the ship's cable from a pint of milk, and you can't come the flunky over me." "I'm going to do just as you would do if you were in my place. I won't hear a word about any of your plans." "But will you interfere with them?" "If it is my duty to do so, I shall. I intend to obey orders; and if I have the deck, I shall keep things straight, whatever happens."
The resolutions she formed in company with the sea, having dismissed Ipsden, and ordered her flunky into the horizon, will probably give our viscount just half a century of conjugal bliss. As he was going she stopped him and said: "Your friend had browner hands than I have hitherto conceived possible.
Not quite all the vulgar insolence of the M'Crackin letter was repeated. Mr. Seward did not ask Mr. Motley to deny or confirm the assertion of the letter that he was a "thorough flunky" and "un-American functionary." But he did insult him with various questions suggested by the anonymous letter, questions that must have been felt as an indignity by the most thick-skinned of battered politicians.
