The fire is all down by Ross's farm, and he has ten acres of wheat standing, and no one at home but him and Bob." "How do you know?" growled Wall. Then suddenly and suspiciously, "Have you been there?" "I came home that way." "Well let Ross look after his own," snarled the father. "But he can't, father.
Even as it was, battleships grounded, crews mutinied, and several awkward questions in the House of Commons had to be postponed till Tuesday. Something some premonition of this, no doubt seemed to be weighing on him all day. "Rotten weather," he growled, as he came up the steps of the club. "I'm very sorry," I said. "I keep on complaining to the secretary about it. He does his best."
"Och! he's a precious poor'atin'!" growled Mike, from his corner of the room. "If whites are among the savages, why should they not make themselves known?" demanded Robert Willoughby. "Your character, sir, is no secret; and they must be acquainted with their own errand here." "I will send for Strides, and get his opinion a little more freely," answered the captain, after a moment of deliberation.
Herr Radberg was a good enough reader of human faces to realize that, at all events, there was no use in continuing the conversation at present. "Very good," he growled. "You can go. I shall see your friends, instead." "When you get through with 'em you'll think they're idiots," grinned Captain Jack Benson. Herr Radberg wasn't a fool. Neither was he a rascal, expert in offering bribes.
"Wind and weather permittin'," growled the captain. "Well, what then?" "Have you completed your crew?" asked the stranger. "Nearly.

"He was a Plush Bear," answered the Nodding Donkey. "A most wonderful Plush Bear! When he was wound up he moved his head and his paws and he growled as natural as anything." "Oh, tell me about him!" mewed the China Cat.

"I am glad of it," answered Mrs. Ruthven, and then continued quickly, "Have you seen anything of Jack?" "Do you mean to-day?" "Yes." "No, I haven't seen him since he made such a mess of it up at our house, putting out the fire," growled the spendthrift. "It's a wonder you didn't put out the fire yourself," put in Marion sharply. She did not like talk against her brother.
"I always believed Yakowleff to be my friend. Indeed, he has already shown his loyalty to me." "And in return thou gavest him the valuable concession for Otchakov," growled the monk. "If you assure me, Father, that what you have said is the truth, and not mere hearsay, I will call Protopopoff, and he shall make full inquiry."
