Long, long ago, in the days of fairies and giants, ogres, and dragons, valiant knights and distressed damsels; in those good old days, a brave young warrior went out into the wide world in search of adventures.
These were few enough, to be sure; but as we always fell back upon Blood, she had as wide a field for abstract speculation as her nephew himself. We might have been a party of Ogres, the conversation assumed such a sanguine complexion. 'I confess I am of Mrs. Waterbrook's opinion, said Mr. Waterbrook, with his wine-glass at his eye.
"She at once called her husband Antiphates from the place of assembly, and forthwith he set about killing my men. He snatched up one of them, and began to make his dinner off him then and there, whereon the other two ran back to the ships as fast as ever they could. But Antiphates raised a hue-and-cry after them, and thousands of sturdy Laestrygonians sprang up from every quarter ogres, not men.
Accented by make-up and magnified on the screen, the goggling, frog-like ugliness of Big Medicine became like unto ogres of childish memory; his smile was a thing to make one's back hair stand up with a cold, prickling sensation. Happy Jack stared at himself and his exaggerated awkwardness incredulously, with a sheepish grin of appreciation.
If they only knew the dreadful old ogres!" Yes, I said that. I piled it on oh, I stuck at nothing!

Having reached the bank, he seemed to seek for footsteps on the sand. Bois-Rose's heart beat violently, for this movement appeared to show some suspicion as to their presence. "Can this wretch," whispered he to Pepe, "smell flesh like the ogres in the fairy tales?" "Quien sabe who knows?" replied the Spaniard, in the phrase which is the common answer of his native country.
Everything here I can do as well as any one else could; perhaps better than some Rosy, for example. Though she is just the sort of beautiful creature that is imprisoned with ogres in fairy tales." "Rosy!" cried Fred, in a tone of profound brotherly scepticism. "Come, Fred!" said Mary, emphatically; "you have no right to be so critical." "Do you mean anything particular just now?"
It is true that Miss Eliza had warned her with emphasis against strange men, but the Man across from her could not be said to come anywhere near the descriptions of the Ogres against which Arethusa had been so warned. Arethusa had not had her Red-Riding-Hood Experience as yet, and it was her habit to trust.
"They are thieves or probably ogres," they thought. They were really guards sent by the Duchess of Clarides in search of the little truants. The two little adventurers found a footpath in the underbrush, not a lovers' lane, for it was impossible to walk side by side holding hands as is the fashion of lovers.
