"Why, Kit, what's the matter with your arm?" cried Stella. Kit's arm was hanging by his side, and his coat sleeve near his shoulder was stained with blood. "Shot!" answered Kit laconically. "Bad?" asked Stella anxiously. "Not so very. Just touched the bone. But it has been bleeding like the deuce." "Ted, take charge of the prisoner. Kit, get off that horse and let me see that wound."
He was not courtly in his reception of strangers. The missionary, however, had dealt with several varieties of the human animal before, and was by no means disturbed at this nonchalance. "I believe you are from the States, as well as myself, Mr. Mummychog", said he, after a short silence. "I'm from the Kennebec River", said Micah, laconically.
Then he divulged his longing, which he wanted his master to share, to become a saint; viewing a saint's life from all sides, he had come to the conclusion that it was a much more peaceful life than that of a roving knight errant, who had to be up at all hours and out in all sorts of weather. But his master answered laconically: "We cannot all be friars."

"Doubtless you know Him not," responded the man, evidently annoyed at my interruption and my flippancy. After a moment or two I, desiring to know more concerning the orator, asked: "Robert Brown, say you?"

And Mrs. Parthenia Battis was forthwith installed pro tem. in the Cross Corners kitchen. "She's got considerable gumption," was the opinion Luther volunteered, of his own previous knowledge for Mrs.
"You would better give me a list of your debts, then," he said laconically. "I shall see that your allowance goes on just the same; you may want to invest in er cattle." "Thank you, dad," I said, and turned to go. "And I wish to Heaven," he called after me, "that you'd take Rankin along and turn him loose out there. He might do to herd sheep. I'm sick of that hark-from-the-tombs face of his.
He found the house, paused, looked up at the windows, and looked twice at the number. "Do you seek some one?" inquired the one-eyed cobbler, resting his black hands on his knees. "Did Mr. Paul Griggs ever live here?" asked Lord Redin. "Many years," answered the cobbler, laconically. "Where does he live now?" "Always here, except when he is not here. Third floor, on the left. You can ring the bell.
What am I boss for, if I don't own a little man like the Recorder of Deeds?" "What is it?" gasped the wretched Carlis, in a fearful whisper, when the voice had ceased. "What is that infernal thing?" "A detectaphone," returned Blaine laconically. "You've heard of them, haven't you, Carlis?
Twice a year we'll go to town in a second-hand Studebaker. I'll be dressed in the clothes I wore before I was married and he'll wear overalls and boots with run-over heels. A dollar will look a shade smaller than a full moon and I'll cry for joy when I get a clothes-wringer or a washing machine for a Christmas present. That," she concluded laconically, "is my finish."
Chesnut and Lee a notification to this effect: "By authority of Brigadier General Beauregard, commanding the Provisional Forces of the Confederate States, we have the honor to notify you that he will open the fire of his batteries on Fort Sumter in one hour from this time."
