He swung along beside her till they reached the top of the hill, fell behind without a word and mounted Glory. When he overtook Miss Satterly, he lifted his hat to her nonchalantly, touched up Glory with his spurs, and clattered away down the coulee, leaving the schoolma'am in a haze of yellow dust and bewilderment far in the rear.
England was so nonchalantly free already, that the betting-book at White's Club records that, "Lord Glengall bets Lord Yarmouth one hundred guineas to five that Buonaparte returns to Paris before Beau Brummel returns to London!"
Whereupon you would cross your right foot over your left nonchalantly and enjoy that brief moment's chat with Floor Clerk Number Two. You went back to Ishpeming, Michigan, with three new impressions: The first was that you were becoming a personage of considerable importance. The second was that the Magnifique realised this great truth and was grateful for your patronage.
With trembling hands he put his pipe in his mouth, and lighted it nonchalantly. It was Emslie with his supper. "Playing waiter, eh?" drawled Ambrose. "You fellows have to be everything from grooms to chambermaids, don't you?" Young Emslie stared, and grew red. "What's the matter with you?" he demanded. "A man must have a little entertainment," said Ambrose. "I'm forced to get it out of you.
He picked up the first named article, examined the metal critically, and then asked me how much I wanted for it. "Three marks!" I ventured nonchalantly, with a view to taking him off his guard.

He must guard himself.
She looked at them nonchalantly, well-pleased at any sort of dominance, but never confessing it by her attitude. "Have I not eyes?" she questioned, with tantalizing slowness; "and ears? Are they to grow dull for lack of usage?" "Nay; tell us, Ecciva." She drew nearer and lowered her voice mysteriously.
"Two beers," said I nonchalantly to the barkeeper, and while he drew them, the Swede and I leaned against the bar and yearned secretly for the arm-chairs by the stove. The barkeeper set the two foaming glasses before us, and with pride I deposited the ten cents. Now I was dead game. As soon as I learned my error in the price I'd have dug up another ten cents.
"Can we eat right after the powder?" "I don't think that should make any difference," the Doctor answered, and so accustomed to the drug were they now that, quite nonchalantly, they sat down and ate.
