Sure enough as he came under the trees he heard a shrill cry, and knew that it could be naught save Ursula; so he ran thitherward whence came the cry, shouting as he ran, and was scarce come out of the trees ere he saw Ursula indeed, mother-naked, held in chase by a huge bear as big as a bullock: he shouted again and ran the faster; but even therewith, whether she heard and saw him, and hoped for timely help, or whether she felt her legs failing her, she turned on the bear, and Ralph saw that she had a little axe in her hand wherewith she smote hardily at the beast; but he, after the fashion of his kind, having risen to his hind legs, fenced with his great paws like a boxer, and smote the axe out of her hand, and she cried out bitterly and swerved from him and fell a running again; but the bear tarried not, and would have caught her in a few turns; but even therewith was Ralph come up, who thrust the beast into the side with his long-headed spear, and not waiting to pull it out again, drew sword in a twinkling, and smote a fore-paw off him and then drave the sword in over the shoulder so happily that it reached his heart, and he fell over dead with a mighty thump.
Nevertheless, something drove him on, forced him to push his way hardily through a sort of quickset hedge of reluctance and shame. "No, I don't expect absurdities. I am not such a fool. But but you do it so well!" "Do what well?" "Everything connected with deception. You are such a mistress of it." "Well?" "Isn't that rather strange?"
Bob Pillin's mouth fell afar; he secretly agreed, but the idea of sacrificing a moment alone with her was intolerable, and he said hardily: "No, I shall stick it!" Phyllis sneezed. "My hair isn't a bit dry," and she sat down on the fender with her back to the fire. A certain spirituality had come into Bob Pillin's face.
She bent her head, and tried to hurry past. But his hand was held out, she could not help putting hers into it; and looking up hardily, she said: "You know about me, don't you?" His face, naturally so frank, seemed to clench up, as if he were riding at a fence. 'He'll tell a lie, she thought bitterly. But he did not. "Yes, Leila told me."
"Maybe I will!" the girl said hardily. "You'll suggest his taking her home, anyway, won't you, Doc' Jim?" she asked. "Well, durn it, I'd jest as soon," agreed the doctor. "I don't know as you're so crazy about him!" "And you'll stay to dinner?" Manzanita instantly changed the subject. "There's ducks.
If that's the woman's complaint, she was free to teach it new words any time." "But it isn't." "Then I don't see what grievance she can have," said 'Bias with entire composure.

You say it is a good thing to be alive. How often have you said that in your life?" "All my life through," I answered stoutly. My constitution was a good one, and I had lived healthily, if hardily. I voiced the superfluous vitality of a well nourished body. "Then you do not know what it is to feel for others." There was a scream in the underwood near us. It ended in a short, choking squeak.
Have a care, sir, cried the lawyer, trembling. 'Or than I have! persisted Mr. Thomasson hardily, and with his head in the air; 'and no right or title to be anywhere but in the servants' room. That is their proper place. Lady Dunborough, he continued, his eyes darting severity at the three culprits, 'are you aware that this young person whom you have been so kind as to notice is is

On one occasion Medora hardily requisitioned Cope for an evening at the theatre, in the city; miles in and miles back she had him in her car all to herself; and if Amy, next day, appeared to feel that wealth and organization had taken an unfair advantage of simple, honest love, Medora herself was troubled by no stirrings of conscience.
