In two seconds they were at the top of a rise of ground, down at the further side and out of sight of the others. Then, to make the exhibition realistic, Beverly drew out her hat pin, gave it a toss to the side of the road, and the wind completed the job by whisking her soft felt hat off her head and landing it upon the roadside bush. Oh, it was glorious! Five miles?
But before you are out of my hands I want to settle an old score with you one dating from our boyhood, which you'll perhaps remember. Toss that gun forward and step aft a bit." Forsythe, his face working convulsively, obeyed him. "Florrie!" called Denman down the hatch. "Come up now. We're all right." She came, white in the face, and stood beside him.
This great seventeenth century pile, throwing itself upon the water with a peculiar florid assurance, a certain upward toss of its cornice which gives it the air of a rearing sea- horse, decorates immensely and within, as well as without the wide angle that it commands.
Grushenka did, in fact, toss off a whole glass of champagne at one gulp, and became at once very tipsy. She sat down in the same chair as before, with a blissful smile on her face.

Roseen looked up, her blue eyes still drowned in tears, but just the suspicion of a smile beginning to creep about her mouth.

Now, a snow battle, if properly managed, is a different matter, and calls for that endurance and tact that distinguishes the true soldier. The two selected captains toss up in the usual manner for first choice of men.
