"Oh, I hate to take this money!" "All-l o-over!" Two men at least of all that vast assemblage had not given up victory for Philadelphia. I had not dared to look at Old Well-Well for a long, while.

Ah, sir, it's a strange place, that ruin, and there be strange stories afloat about it," said the man, with a portentious shake of the head. "What are they?" inquired Sir Norman. "I should particularly like to know."
"Look here, Groundhog," said Shorty, coming up close, with a portentious doubled fist. "You know me, and you know Si. You know that either of us can maul the head off you in a minute, whenever we've a mind to, and we're likely any time to have a mind to.

Yorba, a tall, spare, severe-looking woman, who had taught school in New England in her youth, and never even powdered her nose, spoke for the first time.

For ten days the weary sun was dragged from its rest by the evil "dogs" which seemed to dominate its movements completely.

It was the morning of the eleventh day.
One overtakes him, now and then, and catches him, as it were, off his guard, in little pathetic lapses into a curious simplicity a simplicity grave-eyed, portentious and solemn almost like that of some great Infant-Faun, trying very seriously to learn the difficult syllables of our human "Categorical Imperative"!
