Bert dropped the rope, and ran forward to catch it in a new place. In another moment he had his hand on the car.
His usual style of progression at this period was to take from two to four abrupt, jerky strides, rather with the air of a fussy and corpulent old gentleman who had to catch a train, and then to subside in a confused lump, on chest and nose, with tail waggling angrily in mid-air.
He swung around, and as he banked caught sight of seven or eight German planes coming up from the northwest. He looked aloft. The Spads had seen them, too, and were closing in.

Serve him right, if he does turn black again! I hope it's a dark black." "But HE didn't have anything to do with it," said the Doctor.
The doctor took the hat of the dead Squire in his hand, and examined it with frowning care. He put one finger through the hole in the crown and moved it meditatively.
