The words in the corners were underscored three times. Swiftly, deftly, Jimmie Dale's hands rolled the rounded end of one of his collection of the legal instruments under the flap of the envelope, turned the sheets over and drew out the folded document inside. There were eight sheets of legal foolscap, neatly fastened together at the top left-hand corner with green tape.
You should have given them epicurean feasts, and put money in your 'purse' to be transferred to theirs!" "Bribery and corruption! I would lose my bill forever! And I would see the legislature exterminated, before I would pay one cent to get a vote," said the Iron King. And he used a much stronger as well as much shorter word than the one underscored; but let it pass.
In the last few days we have drawn the net closely around a gang of supposed Scandinavians who have been busy supplying passports to suspicious-looking travelers. Let's see the other advertisement." Excitedly the three of them read it together as Fleck underscored every fourth word. "Imperative all agents leave ship. Wonder-workers ready Friday," read Fleck.
These last words she underscored, and then went on to explain how the cheque had been paid to her a short time before by Dan Stringer. "Then Toogood has been right about the fellow," said the archdeacon. "I hope they'll hang him," said Mrs Grantly. "He must have known all the time what dreadful misery he was bringing upon this unfortunate family."

He was grateful when the door closed, though he stood for full a minute afterward tapping on the table with his fingers. Then indignantly he looked up the word failure in Brian's dictionary and underscored it heavily.
"It is very kind of you to offer friendship and help to one situated like myself, and I gratefully grant what you rather oddly call 'a favor. At the same time, if you ever find such friendliness a pain or trouble to you in any way, I shall in no degree blame you for withdrawing it." The "friendship" and "friendliness" were underscored, thus delicately hinting that this must be the only relation.

But, someway, Doris he loved to repeat the name even to himself someway Doris was not the type that figured in such plots. Also, there were other things hard to understand.
How stern the woods look, dark and cold and as rigid against the horizon as iron! All life and action upon the snow have an added emphasis and significance. Every expression is underscored.
Some that they had most loved to read were likewise there: "Pollock's Course of Time"; the slow outpourings of Young, sad sectary; Milton, with the passages on Hell approvingly underscored not as great poetry, but as great doctrine; nowhere in the bookcases a sign of the "Areopagitica," of "Comus," and "L'Allegro"; but most prominent the writings of Jonathan Edwards, hoarsest of the whole flock of New World theological ravens.
