I was strolling carelessly and solo from the cook-wagon toward one of the two tents which protestingly housed some forty huddling Americans by night holding in my hand an historic morceau de chocolat, when a spick, not to say span, gentleman in a suspiciously quiet French uniform allowed himself to be driven up to the bureau, by two neat soldiers with tin derbies, in a Renault whose painful cleanliness shamed my recent efforts.
Was it to be tragedy or farce? Then Scully came down the starboard gangway, a broad smile on his ruddy face. A clamoring group gathered round him instantly. "What is it?" "Is the 'old man' playing a joke on us?" "Do you suppose Cervera has got over to this side?" "Scully," overwhelmed with questions, put up his hands protestingly. "No, no; none of those things," said he.
"I'm afraid these mere platitudes are no solid help." Mrs. Amber murmured protestingly, but, not knowing what a platitude was, felt she could not follow up the subject. She rose and picked up her coat from a chair back, and wrapped herself up to face the night. "Tell Marie you're pleased," she coaxed. "But she knows I'm not," said Osborn gloomily, "and neither will she be.
Simpson, from whom in all conscience I looked for consideration and friendship, have as much as spoken to Mrs. Chiltern in church. You have made it clear that, while you are willing to accept our contributions, you cared to have nothing to do with us whatever. If I have overstated the case, please correct me."

"Go directly," she said, "or I'll report you and have you summonsed!" "I have only two more crackers and this volcano," I said protestingly. "Surely you would not mind " "Don't be insolent," she said, "or I shall have no compunction in setting my dog on you."
At least," he corrected himself, "as safe as 'tis possible to be in Monmouth County. The garrison will afford more security than you would have here. I brought these wagons for the very purpose of taking you. There must be haste, Uncle Tom. We must be off in an hour." "But " began Thomas Ashley protestingly, when his wife interrupted him. "Why, father! that's where Charley is.
Fran caught her breath while her face showed hardness but not against the other. She felt something like holy wrath as her presentment sounded forth protestingly "But who are you?" "I am Mrs. Gregory." "Oh, no," cried Fran, with violence, "no!" She added rather wildly, "It can't be I mean but say you are not Mrs. Gregory." "I am Mrs. Gregory," the other repeated, mystified.
"Yes, but sent to you in a letter because you were hard up, you know. I'm certain you wouldn't. No decent fellow would. When I can afford to play cricket, I'll play it. Good night, Mr. Dale. I'm not going back just now." The curate shook his head protestingly. "Do you know it is twelve o'clock, Alban?" "Just the time the fun begins in the world over there, sir."
Feverel, deceased, that seemed to follow him, protestingly, round and round the room a corner of a dusty grey road seen dimly through dirty window-panes; why did people live in such a place or, rather, why did such people live at all? and to think that it was people like that who dared to threaten Trojan honour! How could Robin have been such a fool!
We must form a gang in his best interests and get him put away. What do you think he proposes doing? I'll give you three guesses. Oh, what's the use? You'd never hit it.
