He hauled Tom after him for a step or two; then stood still and shoved him before him for a step or two more; and thus cautiously as a pair of skirmishers under fire they approached the coach-house door. "There, ye see all safe," whispered Tom, pointing to the lock, which hung distinct in the moonlight in its place. "Cum back, I say!" "Cum on, say I!" retorted the landlord valorously.
His wish was at last accomplished, as all earnest, absorbing wishes ever are. He fell valorously, dying a soldier's death upon the field of Minden, his last moments sweetened by the thought that his beloved Amelie was waiting for him on the other side of the dark river, to welcome him with the bridal kiss promised upon the banks of the Lake of Tilly.
"How 'little May' screamed, and you stood, as white as a sheet, valorously aiming your stone." "We were great cowards, both of us," admitted Dora, smiling too; "and I am thankful to say Tray has been much better behaved since he was at the veterinary surgeon's."

Round and round his head he whirled the rabbit till his throat was half-choked with fur, and by that time the other puppies butted in, each snatching a hold where it could, and tugging valorously.
