Left Hand Tom's gone where he don't need 'em any more." "What are they? What does one do with them?" "They're your trunks. You wear 'em." "Where? On what portion, I mean?" "They're like little pants," said Klinker. The two men walked home together over the frozen streets. Queed was taciturn and depressed.
The gentleman smiled, and waved his hand at the flaunted Panama. "A fine-looking man," said Queed. "My father," said the young man. "God bless his heart!" "Was your father in the war?" "Was he in the war? My dear sir, you might say that he was the war. But you could scrape this town with a fine-tooth comb without finding anybody of his age that wasn't in the war."
"Ah, no," said Nicolovius, "there was no gracious pardon for my little peccadillo, no statute of limitations to run after me and pat me on the head. I love England best with the sea between us. You may fancy that a refugee Irishman has no fondness for reading history." He flicked the fire-ash from his cigar and looked at Queed.
"No," said he, honest, but looking rather annoyed at having given her such an opening, "I know only what he told me." "Sharlee," came her mother's voice from the rear, "are you sitting on the cold stone?" "No, mother. Two mats and a cushion." "Well, he is not a Union officer," said Sharlee to Queed, "for if he were, he would not be bitter.
It's of no consequence whatever." "But I don't think you can have noticed how bad it is. Please let me, Mr. Queed.

Queed sat down, wrote his next day's article and handed it to the Colonel, who read the title and coughed.
Here, doubtless, would some day stand the colossal work of Queed. At the big desk sat the Rev. Mr. Dayne, a practical idealist of no common sort, a kind-faced man with a crisp brown mustache. At the typewriter-table sat Sharlee Weyland, writing firm letters to thirty-one county almshouse keepers. It was hard upon noon. Sharlee looked tired and sad about the eyes. She had not been to supper at Mrs.
Then when they meet again, two years from now, we trust that they will be ready to give us what we ask part of it, at any rate. We can make a start with seventy-five thousand dollars." Queed was moved to magnanimity. "Look here. You have been civil to me I will write that article for you Myself."
There's a fine piece to be written, showin' up them little hunters." It was characteristic of Doctor Queed that such an idea had not and would not have occurred to him: applying his new science of editorial writing to a practical problem dipped from the stream of everyday life was still rather beyond him.
On some houses, the decorations for the dead were five times greater, like Benjamin's mess; on others, ten times; on yet others, no colors at all floated but the beloved Stars and Bars.
