"Yes certainly. Stop gabbling. Call the palace." He made the call. "Now, then, call Clarence." "Clarence who?" "Never mind Clarence who. Say you want Clarence; you'll get an answer." He did so. We waited five nerve-straining minutes ten minutes how long it did seem! and then came a click that was as familiar to me as a human voice; for Clarence had been my own pupil. "Now, my lad, vacate!
For the two will never achieve full wedded union until they have fought their way through many an interposing obstacle. Adroitness, and that rare quality, social courage, will be needed in dealing with ever-recurring, complicated, painful, and nerve-straining situations. Even in their attitude towards one another as they gradually come together the finest address will be required.
What moment will the boat overturn again? "Bail, my son!" "Yessah!" stammers the boy. The boat is riding southward and backward at a fast rate. Three hours have passed three hours of increasing effort and nerve-straining suspense. The wounded survivor lies in the stern of the boat. The boy bails incessantly. The water is thrown in at the stern in passing over the boat from the prow.
But though busy were the days and full of hard and at times back-breaking and nerve-straining work, what of it? The colour, the rush, the eager race with the flying hours, the sense of triumph, the promise of wealth, the certainty of comfort, all these helped to carry off the heaviest toil with a swing and vim that banished aches from the body and weariness from the soul.
First wave "over" stamped feet impatiently in those interminable hours of waiting blended in what was only a few short minutes; an almost frenzy of anxiety to get through the waiting possessed them. Then the tanks, faintly outlined forms in the grey light, moved ponderously forward. A nerve-straining silence held momentary sway.
Perversely Carl wheeled about and drove to the north. A conscience was a luxury for a rich man. Let the thing he had done, sired by the demon of the bottle and mothered by the hell-pit of his flaming passions, breed its own results. It was a fitful nerve-straining task, waiting, and he had waited now for weeks.
Then conscious of his mistake, he slowed down, and became too impressive; making long nerve-straining pauses, fled in by the tinkling of the duchess, and the chinking in Dr. Rob's trousers-pockets.

But that proved to be far more readily spoken than lived up to. Not but that the brothers were weary, jaded, and sore of muscle enough to make even the thought of slumber agreeable; but their recent experience had been so thrilling, so nerve-straining, so far apart from the ordinary routine of life, that hours passed ere either lad could fairly lose himself in sleep.
This was only one of the many heroic and nerve-straining acts witnessed by the soldiers that followed the flag of Kershaw, McLaws, and Longstreet. Colonel Rice, of the Battalion, was so seriously wounded that he never returned to active duty in the field.
