"The play must be altered," said Jones. "How altered?" "It must be altered as Miss Lewis asked you at first." Thyrsis sprang up. "What!" he cried. "It must be done!" said Mr. Jones. "It must," said Mr. Tapping. "I knew it all along!" cried Miss Lewis again. "But I won't stand for it!" exclaimed Thyrsis, wildly. "It must be done!" said Mr. Jones, in his heaviest steam-roller tone.
He was a True Business Guy. Even after subtracting all Cats and Dogs he could still total the magnificent Sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars. When he looked at this Mound of Currency, he felt like a Vag and a Pauper. For he had climbed to the table-lands of High Finance and taken a peek at the Steam-Roller methods of the Real Tabascos.
Don't run away with the idea I've had you fellows down to play an exhibition game just to keep me merry and bright. If Houndsditch wins today, K means that I shall be able to hold up my head again and look my fellow-man in the face, instead of crawling round on my stomach and feeling like a black-beetle under a steam-roller.

"I didn't suppose you'd take it like that! Why, I I feel as if I'd been run over by a steam-roller with Taft at the wheel!"
She had animated dark blue-gray eyes under her fine eyebrows, and dark brown hair that rolled back simply and effectively from her broad low forehead. And she was about as capable of intelligent argument as a runaway steam-roller. She was a trained being trained by an implacable mother to one end. She spoke with fluent enthusiasm.
In spite of the unavoidable racket, no one stirred: he surmised that the curate slept soundly after the crises of the day. He left the engine by the doorstep, pinning a note to the steering-wheel. It said: TO REV. J. ROVER POODLE this useful steam-roller as a symbol of the theological mind The steamship Pomerania, which had sailed at noon, was a few hours out of port on a calm gray sea.
They walked now through places which had once been villages, but were sinister ruins where death lay in wait for German soldiers. "It seems queer to me," wrote one of them, "that whole villages close to the front look as flattened as a child's toy run over by a steam-roller. Not one stone remains on another. The streets are one line of shell holes.
But the conversation under such conditions must be very trying. And then they flirt so sweetly! so idyllicly! It has been our privilege to see real peasantry flirt, and it has always struck us as a singularly solid and substantial affair makes one think, somehow, of a steam-roller flirting with a cow but on the stage it is so sylph-like.
