The tramp had him completely in his power, and it might be that he meditated another murder. "Perry Jounce, listen to me." The young man forced a calmness he did not feel, while speaking to the man before him. "Perceed, Rans, old boy." "Why did you murder an innocent child like my poor Victoria? Surely she had not harmed you."
While virtually all this reef is pollock ground, Crawleys and Rans perhaps furnish the best fishing. Gravelly. Lying about 5 or 6 miles SE. by S. from White Head, this piece of bottom has about 25-fathom depths over a rocky bottom. This is a cod and pollock ground in their season. While an occasional halibut is taken here in summer. Heavy tide rips occur here also. The Soundings.
Meldrum and Charlton are being patched up in the hospital and Hart is at Doc White's having the glass picked out of his geography. I've talked with some of the also rans, and they tell me unanimous that it was the most thorough clean-up they have participated in recently." "What will they do after they get over it?" Dingwell grinned. "Search me! But I'll tell you what they won't do.
But to that Peter said "No." He had been asked to Astleys for the cricket week; he was going to play for Urquhart's team. Lord Evelyn had seemed disappointed. "If I could get you away from Denis," he said, "I'll be bound cricket wouldn't be in the 'also rans."
"We're also rans, and don't even show for place." Yet though two of them had, temporarily at least, been rescued from imminent danger, and success beyond their expectations had met the others, it was a silent party.

"He caught three eels in a trap one day and the trap busted and let 'em loose in the boat. He kept grabbin' and tusslin' around the boat till the last eel got away. 'I never had such a slippery time in all the days o' my life, said Rans. 'One eel is a dinner, but three eels is jest a lot o' slippin' an' disapp'intment." "That's exactly the point I make," said Kelso.
The others were to be the Jimmies, Bee, and three more persons so insignificant, so vapid, so entirely not worth describing that, in a race, they would not even be mentioned as "also rans." In short, they were the typical dinner-guests the hostess always fills in with. I worked hard on that dinner.
If after nineteen centuries of Christian civilization the scribe ignores women, even in the matter of conversion, we have every reason to believe that Matthew, Mark, Luke or John might easily fail to give women a place "among those present" or the "also rans."

And at that moment Denis had sauntered up, and Peter's worshipping regard had turned from Lord Evelyn's rose bowl to his nephew, and it was Bow china that was not among the also rans. At that too Lord Evelyn had laughed, with his queer, closed mirth. "Keep that till you fall in love," he had inwardly admonished Peter's back as the two walked away together.
Aunt Laura has looked up the invitation list for the weddin', and, sure enough, among the also rans was a Mr. William Morgan, with a State penitentiary address.
