His horse stood the shock gallantly, and he sought at first only to parry their thrusts and to cut through their stallions' reins; but the latter were chain bridles, and only notched his sword as the blade struck them, and the former became too numerous and too savagely dealt to be easily played with in carte and tierce.

The dinner which followed was worthy of the Astoria, for Togo, the Japanese steward, was given carte blanche.

Louis, waited in line for the privilege of ordering a la carte from the most a la mode menu in Oh-la-la, New York. The line grew, eighty emptying theaters fifteen stories below, sending each its trickle toward the Midnight Frolic men too tired to sleep, women with slim, syncopated hips, and eyes none too nice.
