I made one jump sideways and let the bear have it slap through the brain, and . . . that same shot, sir, ricocheted up the face of the rock and killed the cougar just as he was in the act of springing!

"'A' Company going this evening?" inquired the General. "Wouldn't hurry you, y'know, but I dine at nine." Captain Trebizondi remembered his parade-manners and threw a chest instead of a stomach. The jerk caused his helmet to tilt forward over his eyes and settle down slowly and firmly upon his face as a fallen cliff upon the beach beneath.
My word, the major has certainly established a precedent; you're the first man I've known that got thirty days in clink and didn't have to serve it to the last, least minute.

Why, I wouldn't have given three ha'pence for that Kafir's life when I first set eyes upon him; but now, dash it all, I believe you're going to set him on his feet again.
