"Did you notice that the boat was turned upside-down when found?" asked Thad, first of all. "Yes, that was done to keep the rain from filling it, I reckoned," replied the Maine boy.

Wrinkle raised a pair of wondering eyes to Bradley's design-filled face, and fixed them there anxiously. "Dick," Bradley toyed with the tumbler, turning it upside-down and stamping rings of liquor on the table "Dick, Ben Warren died and left her every dollar of his estate. She's as rich as cream, and Henley huh! he's so stuck-up he can't walk.
"Coarsely put," said Miss Oman, "but perfectly true." "Very well. Now, if I leave the management to Mrs. Gummer, she will probably provide a tepid Irish stew with flakes of congealed fat on it, and a plastic suet-pudding or something of that kind, and turn the house upside-down in getting it ready.

A bullet intended for a deer had pierced his temple. The chateau was turned upside-down. All the hunters, among them the unknown bungler that had fired the fatal shot, started in haste for Paris. Claire, frantic with grief, entered the room where her father lay on his deathbed, there to remain; and Risler, being advised of the catastrophe, came to take Sidonie home.
Lord! to hear him say how sorry he was, and to see how glad he looked at the chance of serving us! 'Serving us! Tom sneered. 'Ha! went Andrew. 'Yes. There. You're a deuced deal prouder than fifty peers. You're an upside-down old despot!
After studying this fundamental enactment to the bottom, turning it on every side, and finally considering it upside-down, I came to the conclusion that its tenor was, on the whole, rather more favorable than unfavorable to the Horizontal doctrine.

"Well, to-morrow all Arcis will be upside-down about it," said Achille Pigoult. "I shall call upon the Unknown and ask him to make me notary of the affair. There'll be two thousand deeds to draw, at the least." "Our romance is turning into a locomotive," said Ernestine to Cecile. "A count with a railway is all the more marriageable," remarked Achille Pigoult.
