It was strictly in accordance with Smooth's philosophy to make people as happy as possible, and so he kept asking anxious questions, gettin' satisfactory answers, answers that would be sure to make me all straight in the pious, with a day or two's consideration.
Then he laughed outright. "I calc'late, miss," said he, "ef you ride on that thar' load o' hay again to-day it'll be because them two's rendered incompetent o' action! An' they don't look to me much 'sif paralysis would set in yit awhile!" "Oh, dear who's this coming? just as we've settled down to accomplish something!" "It's the Chases. Girls we simply can't stop work to entertain them!"
Marrable's sister who went there over half-a-century ago, did not forthwith put two and two together, and speculate towards discovery of the truth. It may be strange to you to be told that she was reminded of old Mrs. Marrable's utterance of the word "Australia" when old Mrs. Prichard spoke it, and simply let the recollection drop idly, because it was so unlikely the two two's would add up.
If you are the clever fellow I take you for, a month or two's hard work, the usual technical books, some expert advice and I have little doubt you would make as good an agent as any of them. Mind, I am not prepared to spend unlimited money nor to run my estates as a Socialist concern. But I gather you are as good a Conservative as myself."

"Let us come into the hotel and get a meal while we wait," suggested the Prince, mindful of our uneaten supper, and we followed him to the restaurant still mourning those beautiful beds we had left behind us, and so tired we didn't much care whether the Germans came or not. Nothing can express utter desolation much more nakedly than a Grand Hotel that has been through a week or two's bombardment.

"'Bout a dozen." "What fish are they!" said Dexter eagerly, and he held up one. "Smelts," said the man, with a peculiar look. "Come fishing?" "Yes," said Bob sharply. "We've come for a day or two's fishing."
You can show the lantern now; it is just as well that they should see it if they are on the lookout." Every man took his glass of the mixture. "Now wrap yourselves in your blankets, lads, and lie down for a couple of hours' sleep." After a minute or two's scuffling while each found a plank to suit him, all was quiet in the boat.
This one looked like the numerical kind where sets of figures correspond to the letters of the alphabet, but any fairly shrewd man can find the clue to that sort after an hour or two's work, and I didn't think Scudder would have been content with anything so easy.
