It was true he possessed certain manly virtues, but his crudities by far outweighed these. The Colonel's voice broke in upon her bitter reflections. "That fellow Cardigan is a hard nut to crack I'll say that for him." He had crossed the clearing to her side and was addressing her with his customary air of expansiveness.
All the parts inside the new adding machine felt good about being so valuable. They worked hard and happily all day, and often talked about how useful they were to the businessman.

The steam gradually dispersing and the lights burning more brightly, enabled us to see his face better. "I suppose there's nothing I can do?" "No, nothing, sir," answered Stoddart, busy at the moment with the first nut of the cylinder cover.
"Well! so far this strung-out will has been for us much cry and little wool, eh, girlie," he muttered; and for the first time she heard discouragement in his voice; perhaps he had "banked" upon that third nut more than he admitted.
