"Well, I'll admit that a suspicion of it came to me at the very last moment too late to be of any use. But come, damme! that's all over, and what's the good o' talking? You tried your best to catch the fellow, too, but he was too much for you!
"Just what is it you fear?" he asked, after having gradually led around to the subject. "Have there been any threatening letters?" "N-no," she hesitated, "at least nothing definite."

And Roy made haste to add: "I wasn't thinking of mothers and sisters; but the kind you play round with ... before you marry. They've a big pull out here. Very good fun of course. And if a man's keen on marrying " "Aren't you keen?" Lance cut in with a quick look. "N-no. Not just yet, anyway. It's a plunge. And I'm too full up with other things. But what about the birds?"
He looked up in pleased surprise: "So you know who I am?" "N-no. But it isn't George is it?" "Why, yes " "O-h!" she breathed. A sense of swimming faintness enveloped her: she swayed; but an unmistakable ripping noise brought her suddenly to herself. "I am afraid you are tearing your skirt somehow," he said anxiously.

Where y' goin' t' take me, anyhow?" "Milt Jennings let me have his horse an' buggy; they're down the road a piece, an' we'll go right down to Rock River and be married by sun-up."
Any port in a storm, the sailor says, and that ought to apply to the airship tar just as well. See anything yet, Chum Andy?" "N-no, can't say that I do," came the reply, as the other eagerly bent his gaze on the tree tops that they were beginning to approach closer, for Frank had turned the lever of the deflecting rudder in order to start the monoplane earthward.
