"Oh, isn't it?" retorted Gascoigne, another midshipman, who had just come below in time to hear the tail-end of my remark and Maxwell's reply to it.
Buck. We might match pennies for it, mornings." It lay there on the hall table that first morning, an innocent oblong, its headlines staring up at them with inky eyes. "Paper, T.A.," she said, and handed it to him. "You take it, dear." "Oh, no! No." She poured the coffee, trying to keep her gaze away from the tantalizing tail-end of the headline at whose first half she could only guess.
Can't ye ever learn anything." Si was so particularly awkward that the Captain put him at the tail-end of the company. Then he tried the right face again, and as the boys seemed to get around in fair shape he commanded: "Right shoulder shift arms! Forward March!"
He guided Sandy's dying footsteps to the deck and propped him against the railing. That was when he laughed. "Not much of a sailor, eh?" he quizzed. "You'll be all right soon; we have been getting the tail-end of a big nor'wester." "A happy storm it must have been, sir, to wag its tail so gay," said Sandy, trying to smile.

Dick sculled the dingy beside the turtle and, while trying to make fast the boat's painter around the creature, fell overboard. Pedro didn't know enough English to express his feelings fully, and so talked Spanish for a while.

Closing the door he came back to Mrs. de Tracy's side. "Her dress is indecorous for a widow," said that lady severely. "Oh, I don't see that," replied Lavendar.
There was a crowd ahead, the street was blocked, and a premonition came to me: "Good Lord, I'm too late he's got into some new mess!" I leaned out of the window, and sure enough, there he was standing on the tail-end of a truck, haranguing a crowd which packed the street from one line of houses to the other.
