I told the girls about it; they think it's great!" Stafford nodded. "Yes Miss Virginia mentioned it to me. You must tell me what it is some day."

Here he was discussing business opportunities with one of the biggest men in New York.
Puck us no Pucks, De Sauty, nor constrict our planet's rotundity with any forty-minute girdle; for in these days of inflating crinoline and ever-increasing circumference of hooped skirts, it becomes us to leave our Mother Earth at least in the fashion, nor strive to reduce her to such unmodish dimensions that one may circumnavigate her in as little time, comparatively, as he may make the circuit of Miss Flora MacFlimsey.
They moved with equal ease in either direction, and they appeared to rise or fall by inflating or deflating the middle portions of their bodies, somewhat as fish do with their swimming bladders. The light in the lower regions of this strange ocean was dimmer than earthly twilight, although the Astronef was steadily making her way beneath the arch of the rings towards the sunlit hemisphere.

No heed was given until the boat seemed to be almost upon him, and he swam, with his pole, desperately to the left to avoid her. Then inflating his lungs he shouted, "Help, if you are men and not devils!" "Hallo there! Man overboard?" "I should say so," thundered Houghton. "Slow up, and throw me a rope."
At last he halted, inflating and emptying his lungs with vigorous breathing. "I feel just about as good as ever," he declared, nodding cheerily to his seconds. "Get off that blouse, then," ordered Midshipman Farley, after a glance at his watch. "We've two minutes left out of the fifteen." "I'll go forward at the scratch, then," nodded Dave.
"A dollar," said the young man. "One dollar. That's the figure. Not a cent more, or you girls'll get inflating prices and Wall Street'll bust up." Anna-Rose, not heeding him and clutching nervously the place where her bag was, told Mr.
