I was held up for quite three-quarters of a second over Whitehall. There was some wireless war-news coming in, and the lightning had to let it pass. Now, what's all this fuss about, Sarah Brown?" There was a crowd of delirious Mitten Islanders round the House of Living Alone.
After tucking the letters into his raglan pocket, Horace rolled the paper into a hollow tube, peeping through it at the large tree standing opposite the post-office, and at the patient horses hitched to the posts, waiting for their masters to come out.

She ignored the side-issues and pounced, as it were, upon the central thread the reason that Lory de Vasselot had had for sending such an order.

Another person always goes through the side streets on his way for the noon extra, he is so afraid somebody will meet him and tell the news he wishes to read, first on the bulletin-board, and then in the great capitals and leaded type of the newspaper.

He read the bargain-sale advertisements in his morning paper before he even looked at the war-news head-lines. Father was no fool, but he had been known to prefer kindliness to convenience.
