He was incompetent, and he knew it, but Kettle had been tactless enough to tell him so; and, moreover, Kettle had thrown out the national gibe about Waterloo, which no Belgian can ever forgive. Commandant Balliot gritted his teeth, and rubbed at his scrubby beard, and melodramatically vowed revenge.
"Farrar, what's the matter with you lately?" he said sharply. The younger man started, "Why...why..." the brusqueness of the other's manner shocked him suddenly into confession. "I've lost my nerve, Professor Mallory, that's what the matter with me. I'm frightened to death," he said melodramatically. "What of?" asked Mallory, with a little challenge in his tone. The flood-gates were open.
"Kate Seton," she cried, "I demand your story." Then she went on melodramatically, "You've said too much or too little. You've got to tell it right here and now, or or I'll never speak to you again never," she finished up feebly. Kate smiled. "What a dreadful threat!" Then she turned to Bill.

"Only my lunch," sighed Tavia, melodramatically. "I shall never be able to put up another such!" and she smacked her lips in remembrance of the good things the borrowed lunch box had contained. "Perhaps, then, I will be able to invite you to take some of mine," said Sarah politely. "Mother just loves to do up dainty lunches." "Accepted with pleasure," replied Tavia, imitating society manners.
We really must retire to rest. Maybe a good night's sleep will restore us to normal," Lark explained gravely. Fairy only laughed. "Good!" she cried. "Do go to bed. The only time I am sure of you is when you are in your beds. Do you mind if I tie you in, to make assurance doubly sure?" But the twins and Connie had disappeared. "You keep your eyes open, Fairy," Prudence whispered melodramatically.
Mallare can invent daggers, beautiful daggers that poise melodramatically over his heart, that move slowly in quest of his life's blood! S'death, a property man of parts! "'Clever dagger, I murmured. 'Do you enjoy the illusion of yourself as much as this chimera wielding you quivers with the illusion of impending murder? "It paused before me and I nodded. My laughter had halted it.

The Frenchman listened in silence with the same gloomy expression, but suddenly turned to Pierre with a smile. For a few seconds he looked at him in silence. His handsome face assumed a melodramatically gentle expression and he held out his hand. "You have saved my life. You are French," said he.
Melodramatically he seized her wrists and drew her to the window; placing her in the full light of the sun, he peered with mock tragedy into her face. "Let me see. Your hair no, not a gray one! The gold of your hair at least I have not squandered yet." "Don't, dear." She would have moved away, but he held her. "Your face is thinner, but that only shows better its beautiful bones.
"I want them letters," whined Marcia melodramatically "them letters of mine you bought from my grandsire in 1881." Horace considered. "I haven't got your letters," he said evenly. "I am only seventeen years old. My father was not born until March 3, 1879. You evidently have me confused with some one else." "You're only seventeen?" repeated March suspiciously. "Only seventeen."
