"Fall in!" commanded Brown, and his straight back took on a curve that meant straightness to the nth power. "'Tshun! Ri' dress! Eyes front!" He glared at them for just about one minute before he spoke, and during that minute each man there realized that what was coming would be quite irrevocable. "I'm sergeant here. My orders are to hold this post until relieved.
The tragedy was produced at Drury Lane on February nth, 1843, with Phelps, who acted admirably as Tresham, and Helen Faucit as Mildred. Although it had been ill rehearsed and not a shilling had been spent on scenery or dresses, it was received with applause. To a call for the author, Browning, seated in his box, declined to make any response.
The functions which these people provided were stupid to the verge of distraction; really they were only the week-day receptions and Sunday-afternoon calls of Squeedunk and Hohokus raised to the Nth power. The purpose of the whole matter was to see and be seen. Novelty in either thought or action was decidedly eschewed.
Such rank superiority irritated the soldier to the nth power. "Look heah, black man, I knows I is right. Heah, lonme look at dat-aiuh, deed. Maybe I can find 'em. I knows I suttinly is right." Peter walked on, paying no attention to the request Until Tump caught his arm and drew him up short.

For the first time in his presence and over his maps, I saw that after all there was such a thing as the science of war, and that it was not always a fetish of elementary ideas raised to the nth degree of pomposity, as I had been led to believe by contact with other generals and staff-officers.
But his turn came at last; and we now behold him, as typical a product of "K to the nth" as Bobby Little had been of "K ," standing at last upon the soil of France, and inquiring in a soft Highland voice for the Headquarters of our own particular Battalion.
