"Holla, you sir! it's my turn to go in now. Biddy, wait, girls have no innings girls only fag out." "Bob, you cheat." "Pa, Ned says I cheat." "Very likely, my dear, you are to be a lawyer." "Where was I, my dear?" resumed Mrs. Hobbs, resettling herself, and readjusting the invaded petticoats.
The official impatience of the delay was expressed in irritable comments and muttered oaths; but throughout the interval the guide, with his pallid, strained face, sat motionless in his saddle, his rifle across its pommel, an apt presentment of indifference, while, perched behind him, Meddy was continually busy in readjusting her skirts or shawl or a small bundle that presumably contained her rustic finery, but which, to a close approach, would have disclosed the sulphurous odor of gunpowder.
As, unavoidably, we rocked their pallets, the man-of-war's-men would cry out against us; through the mutterings of curses, the corpse reached the hatchway.

As a result, the authorized war program is being brought more nearly into line with expenditures. Recisions and authorizations through the fiscal year 1946. Readjusting the war program, as the Congress well knows, is not an easy task.
"Thank you," Harriet said, with her heart singing. Perhaps Nina suspected that something about his high-handed domestic readjusting was unusual. She looked from her father to Harriet, and after a moment's silence asked abruptly: "When is Mother coming back?" "I don't know!" her father answered, quickly. "Say, listen, are we going to dress?" asked Amy.
"Poor young man!" said Lebeau, readjusting his spectacles, "I recognise in you the genius of Paris, be the genius good or evil. Paris is never warned by experience. Be it so.
Where the Widewood road forked off into the forest on their left they stopped, having unexpectedly come upon a third rider bound the other way.
