"I went in Laramie's place fer grub. Some feller I never seen before come in from the hall an' hit Laramie an' wrestled him on the floor. I went out. Then this big ranger chased me an' fetched me here. I didn't do nothin'. This ranger's hankerin' to arrest somebody. Thet's my hunch, Longstreth." Longstreth said something in an undertone to Judge Owens, and that worthy nodded his great bushy head.
"Mickey can run errands and sweep and weed the garden," recited Brother, gaining confidence since Miss Putnam neither shouted at them nor chased them from her house. "He can dry dishes, too he says he does 'em for his mother." Miss Putnam thought for a few moments. "I'm going to need someone to do errands for me this winter when I can't get around," she said slowly.
Don't you remember how he chased us once, when we were walking through his peach orchard?" "Indeed I do. But we are doing little harm here. In a few days all these berries will be rotten. I guess he has given up picking them." In moving around the boys had found a couple of old berry baskets, and these they now proceeded to fill.
She tried to read his face, tried to discover in those inscrutable eyes of his, some hidden meaning to his words.

The walls were walls only in name; the city had long outgrown them, spreading through a thousand breaches. There was not a trained soldier this side of Capua, whither Pompeius had departed only the day before to take command of the Apulian legions. Cæsar was coming! Cæsar whose tribunes the oligarchs had chased from the Senate! Cæsar whom they had proclaimed a rebel and public enemy!
I laid me down to sleep, and I awoke not until the sun had chased away the night. I continued this tour, and in a few days explored a considerable part of the country, each day equally pleased as the first. I returned to my old camp, which was not disturbed in my absence.
If those ladies think it their duty to quit giving Matilda work the poor things will starve, because all they've got to depend on now is what she earns by her needle. Something ought to be done to rid her of that wart that's fastened on her bounty; if she won't give him up of her own will, then some of us ought to see to it that he's chased out of the neighborhood."
On a June morning in the year after Sir Hugh had settled down so handsomely in his refurbished house, two Dutch men-of-war chased into the harbour 'a small pickroon belonging to the King of Spain. The Hollanders had 400 men in one ship and 200 in the other, but the Spaniard had only thirty men and two small guns.
The front door had been forced open, and the flood had registered its own height in a brown dado on the walls. Midmore chased the pig out and called up the stairs. 'I be abed o' course. Which step 'as she rose to? Sidney cried from above. 'The fourth? Then it's beat all records. Come up. 'Are you ill? Midmore asked as he entered the room. The red eyelids blinked cheerfully. Mr.
