I want them to do the sort of thing you have been doing, each of them to act as section boss, under you, over fifty men. Send them to me. And get a move on!" The Lark shot away, losing no time in question or answer. A moment later five big, strapping fellows stood before Conniston, eying him curiously. "You fellows," Conniston told them, bluntly, "are to act as section bosses.
FitzHenry," murmured the Count. "Now," he said, with a sudden smile which took her by surprise by reason of the alteration it made in the whole man, "will you do me a great favour?" "I should like to," answered Eve, with some hesitation. "And you?" said the Count, turning to Captain Bontnor. "Oh yes," replied that sailor bluntly, "if it's possible."
"Poor Tommy!" she said. "What it is to be so young!" "I'd sooner be a babe in arms than a cynic," said Tommy bluntly. Lady Harriet's lorgnettes were brought piercingly to bear upon the bride-elect that night, and her thin, refined features never relaxed during the operation. She was looking upon such youth and loveliness as seldom came her way; but the sight gave her no pleasure.
I'm sure you could convince him if you went the right way to work about it." "I doubt that. I'm afraid I don't know how to force conviction on any one against his will." "You mean ?" "I mean you'll excuse me; I speak quite bluntly I mean that he seemed very willing to believe anything that could tell against you, but less eager to credit what was said in your defence."
"You don't seem to like the Rhinds people," hinted the naval officer. "I don't," Jack admitted, bluntly. "Well, I suppose it isn't human nature to be fond of our rivals," assented the naval officer, slowly. "I've other reasons, of my own, for disliking Rhinds," muttered the submarine boy. "He hasn't what you could call a wholesome face," smiled Danvers. "In fact, I think Mr.
The conspirators had hired a few trusted assistants to help them carry out their plans, and a rumour had got abroad in the unaccountable way of rumours that there was danger to the King. It was of this rumour that Lord Robert brought him word, telling him bluntly that unless he escaped quickly from this place, he would leave his life there.
"We head for these." To Shann that made no sense at all. Those islands ... why, they would offer less chance of establishing a safe base than the broken land in which they now stood. Even the survey scouts had given those spots of sea-encircled earth the most cursory examination from the air. "Why?" he asked bluntly. So far he had followed orders because they had for the most part made sense.
Turning to Stephen, he added: "Don't you sign any three months' contract, young man." Stephen grew red. By this time the car was full, and silent. No one had offered to quarrel with the Major. Nor did it seem likely that any one would. "I'm afraid I can't go, sir." "Why not?" demanded Mr. Sherman. "Because, sir," said the Judge, bluntly, "his mother's a widow, and they have no money.
"And why did you see fit to undeceive her?" bluntly demanded Wilder. "Would you have a man, who has followed blue water fifty years, scandalize wood and iron after so wild a manner? The character of a ship is as dear to an old sea-dog, as the character of his wife or his sweetheart." "Hark ye, friend; you live, I suppose, like other people, by eating and drinking?"
By the blood of the devil, his son's statement indicated a certain priggishness, which he, Don Miguel, could not deplore too greatly. "You taught me pride of race," his son reminded him. "I merely desire to improve our race by judicious selection when I mate. And, of course, I'll have to love the woman I marry. And I do not love Anita Sepulvida." "She loves you," the old don had declared bluntly.
