An enormous bonefish swam up and took the bait, and Doctor B. was so thrilled and excited that he could not yell. When the man hooked the fish it shot off in a straightaway rush, raising a ridge upon the water. It ran the length of the line and freed itself. Later Doctor B.'s friend showed the hook, that had been straightened out.
After the game he came to tea, by request, at the infirmary, and was straightaway invested by Grey with his First Fifteen colours. On his arrival he surveyed the invalids with interest. 'Rough game, footer, he observed at length. 'Don't mention it, said Barrett politely. 'Leeches, he added dreamily. 'Leeches and hot fomentations. Boiling fomentations. Will somebody kindly murder Walkinshaw!
And, say, we must have been a great pair, sittin' side by side in the armchairs, puttin' away sweitzer sandwiches and mugs of chickory blend; him in his tall lid, and with his quiet, old timy manners, and me well, I guess you get the tableau. I used to like hearin' him talk, he uses such a soothin', genteel brand of conversation; nothing fancy, you know, but plain, straightaway goods.
"Where does this Langernault live?" "According to Mme. Fauville, at the village of Damigni, in the Orme." "Have they deciphered the word Damigni on one of the letters?"

Out at the yard-arm there came a splutter of a match, and then, straightaway, a great spurt of fire as the flare took light. "That's better, Jaskett. You're all right now!" the Second Mate called out to him. "What was it, Mr. Tulipson?" I heard the Skipper ask. I looked up, and saw that he had sprung across to where the Second Mate was standing.
One night, so we ascertained, after the crowd had dispersed, two thugs entered his store, beat the old man and robbed him. He made no complaint; however, when Steele called him he rather reluctantly gave not only descriptions of his assailants, but their names. Steele straightaway went in search of the men and came across them in Lerett's place. I was around when it happened.
With this addition, I lost interest in the hunt, as the course carried us straightaway five miles up the stream. The quarry was cunning and delayed the pack at every thicket or large body of timber encountered. Several times he craftily attempted to throw the hounds off the scent by climbing leaning trees, only to spring down again.

"You caught that black!" exclaimed Patches incredulously. Phil grinned. "I sure had him for a little while." "But what is he doing out here running loose, then?" demanded the other. "Got away, did he?"
After seven years of inept war in which they had all the breaks, including that of a halfhearted enemy, they established 'upon this continent a new nation.
