"We felt so sore that we had to take it out on somebody." "Sure thing," commented Mr. Quinby. "Just what the coach wanted. He gets you fighting mad, until when you go out you are 'seeing red' and looking for a victim. I've been there myself and I know." "Did you ever play on the football team while you were an undergrad?" asked Tom. "No, I wasn't heavy enough.
"A great long chap and two guides." "He can't possibly know that," remarked the mountaineer to me, "but let's hope it is so." "They're as plain as pike-staffs," continued Quinby, whose bent blond head I now distinguished, as he occupied the congenial post of Sister Anne. "They seem stuck.... No, they're getting up on to the snow-slope, and the front man's cutting steps."
"Since I heard him, I've had a new respect for the English language. I never knew it had such resources." "There was a certain honeyed sweetness about it that was almost cloying," grinned Bert. "'Twas all very well to dissemble his love, But why did he kick us downstairs?" added Dick. Mr. Quinby laughed reminiscently.
Martel had insisted upon having a salad and ices for dinner in honor of Eleanor's presence, and he mixed the French dressing with elaborate care, and enlivened the company with a succession of his sprightliest anecdotes. It was Quinby Graham who was the grave one.

The story was so long that they talked till they were sleepy and then began again after breakfast, keeping it up till they had a good outline of all our travels and tribulations. This Mr. R.G. Moody, his wife and daughter, Mrs. Quinby, and son Charles, all lived in San Jose and are now dead.
