Langdon could make out only two Billies in the lot.

For a moment Nannies, Billies, and little kids were paralyzed by his sudden appearance.

In these Billy saw himself reproduced in a wavering line of Billies that, like the ghost of Banquo, stretched to the disappearing point.

The same Johnnies and Billies and Fays came to this office in their endless seeking.

"Them Silly Billies is the deceitfulest chaps as is.

So we sot down and Dotie begun to state with much excitement her reasons for wanting to stay, sez she: "Billy has been bolsting to me that he see a Prince to the Fair, a real live meat Prince.
