For quite a minute the opponents stood gazing fiercely, and then what had threatened to become a cuffing encounter became verbal. "Look here," cried Burney, "you two will get it for this. What am I to say to the captain?" "Tell him to bowl for himself," said Singh sharply. "Here! Hi! Burney, bring 'em along!" came from across the field and from between Slegge's hands.

But not if it were given you to run in unison with her genius of the tongue, following her verbal ingenuities and feminine silk-flashes of meaning; not if she led you to match her fine quick perceptions with more or less of the discreet concordance of the violoncello accompanying the viol.
