Nellie came to a sudden stop and pointed to the houseboat. "Dan Baxter," burst from Dora's lips. "Oh, how did that fellow get here?" "Dora Stanhope!" muttered Baxter, and then he and Lew Flapp ran towards the girls. Both girls were thoroughly alarmed by the unexpected appearance of Dan Baxter and his companion and brought their horses to a standstill.
I can't think as he'd try to blacken a girl's name just to excuse himself; that's goin' a bit too far. Mrs. Clay came to a standstill. 'He's been saying things of Emma? she cried.

We accordingly set out about two o'clock, my husband and I, Saleh on the donkey, some soldiers, some of our siyara of Jabberi, and my camera. But we came to a standstill when first four, then nine, and at last fourteen men were seen on the top of the ruins, pointing guns at us.
