"And yet, Carlotta," said I bitterly, "you would go back to him if he sent for you?" She sprang forward and gripped me by the arm I was sitting quite close to her and her face wore the terror-stricken expression of a child frightened with bogies. "Go back? After what he has done to me? You would not send me back? Seer Marcous, darling, you will keep me with you? I will be good, good, good.
The general tuk nae heed o't, but walked on and was soon oot o' sicht, and I didna lose a minute in creepin' oot frae my hidin' place and scamperin' awa' back tae my room, and if a' the bogies in the Red Sea were trapesin' up and doon the hale nicht through, I wud never put my heid oot again tae hae a glimpse o' them.
This carriage is made on bogies so as to run on rails passing easily round curves of 50 ft. radius. The gun is fired on an inclined length of rails, the recoil presses of the carriage first receiving the shock and reducing the recoil. The carriage is made to lift into the government barge, so as to go easily to Shoeburyness or elsewhere.
Perhaps the most singular impression made by "Satan's Invisible World Discovered" is that in Sinclair's day, people who did not believe in bogies believed in nothing, while people who shared the common creed of Christendom were capable of believing in everything. Atheists are as common as ghosts in his marvellous relations, and the very wizards themselves were often Atheists.
Thenceforth, when some adventurous monkey swinging with hands or tail among the treetops in the morning search for appetizing nut or luscious plantain saw one of those fearsome bogies, he raised such a hubbub that all his companions scampered hastily from the confines of the wood to the inner fastnesses.
"I'd like to be at the picnic now," said Boris, "I didn't mind it in the daytime when it was so hot; but now they're lighting another bonfire and they're going to have tea, and after tea Guy will tell stories." "All about bogies," struck up Nell; "yes, I wish I were there." Annie looked at them both reflectively.
The first landfall I made was when I got through the bush of wild cocoanuts, and came in view of the bogies on the wall. Mighty queer they looked by the shining of the lantern, with their painted faces and shell eyes, and their clothes and their hair hanging. One after another I pulled them all up and piled them in a bundle on the cellar roof, so as they might go to glory with the rest.
The apparitions following the deaths of so many thoughts ARE particularly awful in the twilight, so that at this season, while the day drags and drags, I'm glad to have any one with me who may keep them at a distance." Vanderbank had not sat down; slowly, familiarly he turned about. "And where's Nanda?" "Oh SHE doesn't help she attracts rather the worst of the bogies.
He could only command a lot of bogies. This will give you authority over flesh and blood! Take it, sahib!" So King put it on, letting it slip up his sleeve, out of sight, with a sensation as the snap closed of putting handcuffs on himself. But the Rangar looked relieved. "That is your passport, sahib! Show it to a Hill-man whenever you suppose yourself in danger.
I looked up to see what this foreign matter that thus mysteriously had entered into the mixture might be, and discovered it to be a policeman. Still I did not care. The felon's dock! the prison cell! a fig for such mere bogies. An impudent word, an insulting look, and I would have gone for the Law itself.
