We shall have a story to tell." Colonel Dodd swung his chair around and faced his desk. "Gentlemen, let's not get excited," he appealed. Ostensibly he reached for a pencil. He also pushed a button he had not touched before that day. Then he came around slowly on the swivel of his chair. "You have mentioned certain towns, Davis.
One is a husky, red faced, swell dressed young sport, and the other is a tall, swivel eyed, middle aged gent dressed in khaki. They walks around the machine without payin' any attention to me or Tuttle. "Well, what do you think of it, Captain?" says the young sport after a while. The Captain, he shakes his head.
It has no vital significance in the history of Jean Jacques Barbille, though it has its place as a swivel on which the future swung. Sebastian Dolores had saved Rocque Valescure from at least three years in jail, and possibly a very heavy fine as well; and this service must have its due reward.
"Why the hell didn't you come in earlier?... Stevens, make out a transfer to headquarters company and get the major to sign it when he goes through....

"Yes," replied the diplomatist as if surprised at the question. "What time, please?" "About three o'clock. They were going out driving. Why?" "And just where, please, did you find that handkerchief?" continued Mr. Grimm.
Be things at their usual, dear?" "Thank you, Ducie; all and every thing is well, I hope. We have not heard from Harry lately. I think it worrits father a little, but he is never the one to show it. Oh, how sweet this room is!" She was standing before the old-fashioned swivel mirror, that had reflected three generations, a fair, bright girl, with the light and hope of youth in her face.
He was no stouter in body, for he was of the kind that wear away the flesh by much doing and thinking; but there were occasional streaks of grey in his bushy hair, and his eye roamed less than it did once.
