Her few ideas are like three or four marbles on a level floor; they have no power to move themselves, but roll equally well in any direction you push them. This afternoon I turned a lot of little town boys into my strawberry bed, and now it looks like a field that had been harrowed and rolled.
"I thought the officer might take a fancy to ask me some questions, and I am not so intimately acquainted as you with the doings of the king's general!" he said with a chuckle. "'Twas a bold stroke, monsieur, but it paid." "Yes," I said, "it paid. And now let us push forward."

"You know me, I think," the chauffeur responded quietly. He was pressing Doris back into her seat with absolute steadiness. "We have met before.
