"He'll come all right after the war," said Daddy, "and he'll be redder and whiter and jollier than ever." Then Daddy clouded suddenly, for he thought of all those who would be missing when Father Christmas came again. Ten loved ones were dead from that one household. The Lady put out her hand, for she always knew what Daddy was thinking. "They will be there in spirit, dear."
"Good-bye, 'Mexico." His voice was earnest, almost solemn. "You've done me a lot of good. Good-bye, old boy. Play the game. He'll never go back on a friend." "Mexico" reached out and held him with both hands. "Git out," he said to the attendant.
"You can make sure of managing him, I suppose," said Donovan. "Oh, yes. But it may take a little time. He'll want to talk and I must consider his self-respect." "Quite so," said Donovan. "We all like to keep our self-respect, even admirals." Smith stood up. "Very well, sir," he said, "and if there's nothing you want, sir " "Nothing," said Donovan. "I shall be back in time to serve luncheon, sir."
"You needn't remind me of that," she replied bitterly. Lasse was awake when they arrived. "Eh, that's a genuine Karlsen!" he said. "He takes after our family. Look now, Pelle, boy! He has the same prominent ears, and he's got the lucky curl on his forehead too! He'll make his way in the world!
That youth, he greatly loves his ease, He's growing much too fat, And though as strong as HERCULES, He'll only use his BAT.

"Not I," said Foster, endeavouring to hide his annoyance and confusion by an assumption of scorn; "it's not in my line to hunt for texts." "True," said Thomas quietly; "if it had been, you wouldn't have made such a blunder. He can't find it, friends, for it ain't written so in the Bible. Before the Lord comes again he'll gather out his own people from all nations.
But within the control room, Chet Bullard, no longer Master Pilot of the World, but master, in all truth, of space, knew that his ship's flight was far from ending. He turned to grin happily at his companion. "We're off!" he shouted. "And it's thanks to you that we made it. If Haldgren's alive he'll have you to thank; for it's you that has done the trick so far!"
I can't do anything yet, not till I see how things turn." Raven thought he understood. Tenney could settle to nothing until he knew when his wife was coming back or whether she was coming at all. Now that the vision of her had entered on their stage, he was conscious of answering coldly: "All right. You can make up your mind and go over and see Jerry. He'll arrange it with you."
We've some stout fellows among us, but not one would have dared to do that same. When the skipper hears of it he'll be after praising him as he deserves; and there's some one else, too, who'll not think the less of him than she does now.
