"Are you going home?" "Where will ye see me?" he urged. "Anywhere you like," she said listlessly, and then added with sudden determination, "I'll come." "Hoots!" he said, "where will ye come?" "Where?" she said, looking at him keenly as if to gauge his strength or weakness. "You're not fit to be much on your feet." "Can you come in the bush at the back of the college?
The circling Ska suggested that this Tarmangani might be helpless and upon the point of dying, else Ska would not have been interested in him, and so easy prey for Sheeta. With this thought in mind the cat resumed his stalking. Presently he pushed through the thick bush and his yellow-green eyes rested gloatingly upon the body of an almost naked Tarmangani lying face down in a narrow game trail.
Chagrin and resentment overcame her. What had possessed her to come to this hot, stuffy place with Thomas, instead of reading French in her peaceful, pleasant sitting-room with Austin? Why didn't Austin show more eagerness to be with her, anyway? She liked to be with him ever and ever so much didn't see half so much of him as she wanted to. There was no use beating about the bush.
Cockatoo Island finished what the native police commenced; and but for his arrant cowardice, and the dread of the settler's fire-arms, he would have been as great a ruffian as ever traversed the bush. Thus, though Dugingi was peaceable, it was only the quiet of the subdued tiger, which merely required time and opportunity to develope its real nature.
Do you mind walking on into the bush?" Ida was not in a very complaisant mood, and she glanced at him coldly. "If my presence annoys you, I can, of course, go on," she said. She felt that it was a little paltry when she walked on into the bush, but her action had been dictated at least as much by curiosity as by petulance.
I myself witnessed two cases of death in consequence of drinking, alone and at one sitting, a bottle of pure absinthe. The house of Mr. D. was typical of the dwellings built by the colonists. In a circumference of about 50 mètres, the bush had been cleared, on a level spot somewhat off the shore and slightly elevated.
Before they reached it, their clothes were white with snow a fact which probably saved their lives. They were shot at from the edge of the bush. Solomon shouted to Jack to come on and wisely ran straight toward the spot from which the rifle flashes had proceeded. In the edge of the woods, Jack shot an Indian with his pistol. The red man was loading.
On reaching the edge of the wood, he hid himself behind a bush, and did not dare to move, lest there might be somebody about. It was not till he made sure there was no one that he stooped under the blackthorns, and followed a trail, thinking the animal, probably a badger, had its den under the old stones; and to pass the time he sought for a den, but could find none.
Before the man-beast's appearance the cub had spent three quarters of his time in eating, but since yesterday morning he had not swallowed so much as a bug. He was completely empty, and the object he saw hanging to the bush set every salivary gland in his mouth working. It was a wasp's nest.
If Barbara were startled, it was strange. Then, not far off, a branch cracked and the pine-spray rustled as if they were gently pushed aside. "Oh!" Grace cried, "something is creeping through the bush!" "Then don't stop," said Barbara. "Perhaps it's a wolf!" Grace clutched her dress and ran.
