The Austro-Hungarians, on the other hand, prepared from the first for a large number of civilian observers, including news and special writers, photographers, illustrators, and painters, and, to handle them satisfactorily, organized a special department of the army, this Presse-Quartier, once admitted to which the fakirs and fly-by-nights were supposed to be weeded out by the preliminary red tape they were assumed to be serious workmen and treated as the army's guests.
They are a party of fly-by-nights; and for this fine madam, she is a kitchen dish-washer at Oxford! And the commonest, lowest slut that 'Your ladyship has said enough, the landlord interposed, moved by pity or the girl's beauty. 'I know already that there has been some mistake here, and that these persons have no right to the rooms they occupy.
How on earth, Mallett, do you suppose Jack Dysart ever got himself mixed up with such a lot of skyrockets and disreputable fly-by-nights?" Duane did not answer. He had nothing good to say or think of Dysart. Rosalie reappeared at that moment in her distractingly pretty pongee motor-coat and hat. "Do come back with us, Duane," she said. "There's a rumble and we'll get the mud off you with a hose."
"Ay," cried the more erudite and sententious Augustus Tomlinson, roused by success from his usual philosophical sobriety; "no work is so pleasant as night-work, and the witches our ancestors burned were in the right to ride out on their broomsticks with the awls and the stars. We are their successors now, Ned. We are your true fly-by-nights!"
Suddenly as they come as suddenly go the fly-by-nights, that pitch and toss on dusky barred wings above the field of summer twilights. Never one of these nighthawks will you see after linnet time, though the hurtle of their wings makes a pleasant sound across the dusk in their season.

Only the rebel "fly-by-nights" were more like the Irishman's flea "when you put your hand on him, he was not there!" The President looking in at the telegraph-room in the White House, happened to find Major Eckert in. He saw he was counting greenbacks. So he said jokingly: "I believe you never come to business now but to handle money!"
The inhabitants could be no desperate fly-by-nights, such as Saleratus Bill would most likely have sought as companions. Bob made up his mind that the gun-man would shortly try to threaten him into a temporary secrecy as to the condition of affairs. This Bob instantly resolved to refuse. Saleratus Bill, however, rode on in an unbroken silence.
"Little they cared. The carpse was wid them, an' they'd ha' taken ut so through a Coronation. Our ordhers was to go into Peshawur, an' we wint hot-fut past the Fly-by-Nights, not singin', to lave that chune behind us. That was how we tuk the road of the other corps.
Even if these young women she had no grounds for believing the one out in the garden to be really Lady Caroline Dester, she had merely been told she was even if these young women should all turn out to be what Browning used to call how well she remembered his amusing and delightful way of putting things Fly-by-Nights, what could it possibly, or in any way matter to her?
