He moved an inkwell to and fro, and did not look up; but his voice was steady and determined as he replied: "I'm not gunning for you, Cal, and I wish to heaven you weren't mixed up in this mess." He looked up. "But I am gunning for crooked work in this Cora case!" Bennett took his arms from the table, and sat erect.
The weather was perfect; every one declared there never was a better show, and Fanny Fitz, in her newest and least-paid-for clothes, looked brilliantly successful, and declared to Mr. Rupert Gunning that nothing made a show so interesting as having something up for it.
The poor fellow made a stand, and said the cows would do some other time, and mightn't he beg for a glass of wine too, after his walk? "Certainly, doctor, certainly," says Mrs. Gunning, leading the way to the front sally-port. "We expect you to take a glass with us. But while Juliana sets out the decanter, let us look at the cows." She hadn't mentioned me, but I didn't care for that, knowing Mrs.
Lepel, but 'tis not, because we are unfortunate, that we have no pride, and 'tis impossible Miss Gunning should accept garments from the gentleman she honours with her hand." And Elizabeth, lovelier than ever in grief, confirmed her mother, Maria stamping her foot like an angry goddess. 'Twill be admitted 'twas a hard case.
For two long burning hours did the Connemara filly circle in Ring 3, and during all that time not once did her owner's ears hear the longed-for summons, "Hi! grey mare!"

I believe that the last time I heard the story, it was calmly stated that thirty million dollars was taken. When I was out West, last time, I got off the train at Santa Fé, and when gunning through the baggage for my kiester, I saw a trunk, bearing on its end this legend: "MRS. JOS. HOGG."
You say the French questioned him?" "French Intelligence did. Pretty game fellow, they said." "But he talked?" "Had to. That was von Herzmann's Circus." "We know that. Anything else?" "Yes. He said they knew all about our plans, and were out gunning for us." Cowan's face colored, but with confusion more than anger. "Anything else?" he asked crisply.
Open and above-board homicides of that sort were always the result of differences of opinion. If the victim had a friend, the latter might go gunning for his pal's slayer; but nobody had enough personal friends to elevate any such row to the proportions of a general feud. All inquests were set aside until Sunday.
"When are you going to show me the cob that you bought at the Horse Show?" The olive branch thus confidently tendered had a somewhat withering reception. "The cob I bought at the Horse Show?" Mr. Gunning repeated with an increase of rigidity, "Oh, yes I got rid of it." He paused; the twanging of Captain Carteret's banjo bridged the interval imperturbably.
The critic who had lobsters for supper the night before, and whose wife in the morning had parted his hair on the wrong side, snarled at the new book, and the time that the author might have spent in new work he squanders in gunning for critics. You might better have gone straight ahead, Nick! You will come to be estimated for exactly what you are worth.
