Merrick said: "Lead on, sir; I will follow." Wampus started away. He was displeased with the other car. It did not suit him at all.

Mother says sour-faced people oughtn't to have a face any bigger'n a crab apple; but Mr. Ewold's face couldn't be too big if it was as big as all outdoors! Good-by.

The great polecat-ferret made its way down to a small brook at the foot of the garden, drank for a moment, then crossed a little plank bridge and was lost to sight in the bushes. Such was the passing of Sredni Vashtar. "Tea is ready," said the sour-faced maid; "where is the mistress?" "She went down to the shed some time ago," said Conradin.

Oh, the pity! the pity! Can't they read?
"He behaved badly to the sergeant, who said warmly: ''Tis a brave thing ye did, Private Ormond. And 'Is it? said Ormond with a sneer. 'I thought we were paid for doing such things. 'Och, ye sour-faced Sassenach! said Sergeant Mulqueen, disgusted; and told me about the whole affair." Ailsa had clasped her hands in her lap. The fingers were tightening till the delicate nails whitened.
