I daresay she is laughing herself sick over the whole business." "Which is more than you can say for yourself, Boske," said Robin blithely. "Brace up! All is not lost.
It's the song they sing in lumber camps and godforsaken places like that, when they've skeered the Wendigo's somewhere around, doin' a bit of swift traveling. "And what's the Wendigo, pray?"

You'd keep her here in this Godforsaken town, surrounded by strangers, and no relation of her own to be near her when her trouble comes!... There's times, John, when I wonder are you a man at all?

Sir Mallaby's agile mind had leaped back to the letter which he was answering. "We should be glad to meet you.... Wrestling, eh! Well, I like a boy to be fond of manly sports. Still, life isn't all athletics. Don't forget that.
