He was a man slightly past middle age, fair and well shaven, wearing a black broadcloth serape, the deeply embroidered opening of which formed a collar of silver rays around his neck, while a row of silver buttons down the side seams of his riding trousers, and silver spurs, completed his singular equipment. Mrs.
Milly had curled herself up inside mother's arm, and was thinking a great deal about King Arthur and the fairy ship, while Olly was quite taken up with watching the oars as they dipped in and out of the water, and occasionally asking his father when he should be big enough to row quite by himself.
At his next visit he fancied he must have got into a narrow needlecase, full of sharp needles: "Oh," thought he, "this must be the heart of an old maid;" but such was not the fact; it belonged to a young officer, who wore several orders, and was said to be a man of intellect and heart. The poor volunteer came out of the last heart in the row quite bewildered.
"I think you'd better come right back to the 'Y. Say, here, what kind of a row was this last night you got a man killed in?" "Kind of row your countrymen make," muttered the old man, and added "Bandits!" Soothing, on the one hand, entreating on the other, the girl got rid of her new friend, and effected an entrance into the hotel. "I've got rooms enough," he said, "rooms enough. Now they've gone.
"You change your mind about women every day, according to how one of them treats you." "They don't amount to a row of pins, Lily." "Certainly some men select that kind, Pete."

Is there any place on that little island where he will not find her?
And she had come two thousand miles to behold it. She walked many miles, as a part of the regimen and discipline to which she had set herself.

"We were were ahem trying to to catch a rat," replied Mr. Woodward, with an effort. "A rat?" "Exactly, sir. Had a terrible time with him, Mr. Decker." The farmer looked surprised. "So I supposed by the row that was going on," he said. "Curious. I knew there were rats down to the barn, but I didn't suppose they came up to the house. What became of him?"
Boyd's acquaintance with my father was enough. After dinner, Lady Errol favoured us with a sight of her young family, whom she made stand up in a row. There were six daughters and two sons. It was a very pleasing sight. Dr. Johnson proposed our setting out. Mr. Boyd said, he hoped we would stay all night; his brother would be at home in the evening, and would be very sorry if he missed us. Mr.
