She stepped once off the "duckboards" laid down in the middle of the passway and dipped half-way to her knee in the mire.
She wore a white middy blouse, and her brown, bare forearms flashed pleasantly in the spring sun.

He defended, with three hundred of his soldiers, against many thousands of his enemy, a narrow passway.

"'Clar, I dunno," said Nimbus, as he strode forward and leaned over the fence to get a sight of the other side of the board. "'Spec' it must be some of dem Ku Kluck's work, ez Cynthy says."
