Boys have a great power of helping each other to do nothing; and they are so innocent about it, and unconscious. "I went as quick as ever I could," says the boy: his father asks him why he did n't stay all night, when he has been absent three hours on a ten-minute errand. The sarcasm has no effect on the boy. Going after the cows was a serious thing in my day.
The noon position on the 26th was lat. 65° 43´ S., long. 17° 36´ W. We made another sounding on this day with the Lucas machine and found bottom at 2819 fathoms. Every one took turns at the work of heaving in, two men working together in ten-minute spells. Sunday, December 27, was a quiet day aboard.

The boys had practiced these things a hundred times before, but they can never be done too often or too well; and to-day under the new stimulus they outdid themselves. Each tried to surpass his fellows and worked as he had never worked before. After an hour of this, they were lined up for two ten-minute sessions with the scrubs.
They were of a soft rock and covered with snow, above which to the height of your waist rose scrub pine-trees and bushes of holly. The rain and snow that ran down their slopes had turned the land into a sea of mud, and had swamped the stone roads. In walking, for each step you took forward you skidded and slid several yards back. If you had an hour to spare you had time for a ten-minute walk.
Gone were the Calcutta years when I could rebuke the cook for a ten-minute delay. Now I tried to control my appetite; one day I undertook a twenty-four hour fast. With double zest I awaited the following midday. "Dyanandaji's train is late; we are not going to eat until he arrives." Jitendra brought me this devastating news.
How does the repeating of answers by the teacher affect the pupils? A teacher says she repeats answers often because pupils speak low and indistinctly. What are the proper remedies for this? What should be the teacher's rule in regard to digressions? Why should every teacher strive to be a "ten-minute" teacher, and why should every supervisor strive to recommend no others?
In the middle of the second one though, there's a call for me to go into the private office, and when I comes back from a ten-minute interview with Old Hickory I finds Vee and Miss Casey chattin' away like old friends. Vee is being told all about Stubby and the hard-boiled eggs he has for company officers. "Three months without a furlough!" says Vee. "Isn't that a shame, Torchy?
"Three times," Hare elucidated to Varney, "did she tell me, 'I'll be ready in a minute. And a ten-minute interval elapsed each time, by my grandfather's trusted chronometer." "Oh, well," said Varney, "who'd put any trust in a woman who was ready when she said she'd be? Let's get into the shade." "Pinky," said Mrs.
That was a ten-minute under-estimate, and it was another quarter-hour before the detective-sergeant who returned the Luger had finished congratulating Blake Hartley and giving him the thanks of the Department. After he had gone, the lawyer picked up the Luger, withdrew the clip, and ejected the round in the chamber. "Well," he told his son, "you were right. You saved that woman's life."
