I stood, uncertain how to take my leave.
Especial when you come to consider that McKettrick and Castle is flyin' at each other's throats. It's a situation, Johnnie, that man owes a duty to himself to take advantage of." Scattergood went back to his hardware store and seated himself on the piazza. Presently a team drove up from down the valley and a tall, gaunt individual, with hair of the color of a dead leaf, alighted.
The hour was half past four, and the world was still asleep. Archie nodded towards one of the hangars, from the mouth of which projected the propeller end of an aeroplane. 'I'm by way of flyin' that bus down to Farnton tomorrow, he remarked. 'It's the new Shark-Gladas. Got a mouth like a tree. An idea flashed into my mind. 'You're going this morning, I said. 'How did you know? he exclaimed.
Just now his smile was masking some grim joke and his eyes held the mild light of pity. "Well, Hank," he drawled at last, when Porter had wound up his story, "that yarn, as much as I get of it, would lead the average hombre to pick you out as a sho' 'nuff flyer. I would myself.

Mary V paused, meditating upon the significance of his words, his tone, his profile. That there was no particular significance did not in the least affect her deliberate intention. "I wonder who it could have been!" she said, stealing a glance from under her lashes. "Hunh? Who? The flyin' machine? Search me!" This time his tone was surely significant.
I s'pose there's lots of things that'll be provokin', an' hard to stand, when you're President; and if Congress don't want to mind you right spang off when you tell 'em to do a thing, an' goes to foolin' round about it, I s'pose it don't do to be flyin' out, 'cause then folks would think you wasn't fit to be President.
Must have been about four o'clock when it got to blowin' hardest. A puff would hit us and souse the bow under, with the spray flyin' clear over us.

If he could run he'd be running. I tell you, he can't run as fast as a sheep can walk." "Senor, you see those beautiful medal he have?" expostulated Carara. "Sure," agreed Willie. "His brisket was covered with 'em.
"Sartin sure," said Bill; "they're holdin' by nothin' thicker than a pin." "Very good, then, let's go to work. In an hour or so it will be dark enough to try our flyin' machine, and then good-bye to France or to the world. It's neck or nothin', d'ye see?" "All right," answered Bill.
