"At last, at last, she is won," inwardly murmured poor Arthur, while his whole frame seemed convulsed, but controlling himself, as he observed his companion's glance fixed eagerly upon him, he replied, in a tone which, in spite of his efforts, sounded cold and somewhat ungracious.
Two others followed in sharp succession, and there went close by Mary's ear the waspish whine of a minie-ball. At the same moment she recognized, once, twice, thrice, just at her back where the hoofs of her companion's horse were clattering, the tart rejoinders of his navy-six. "Go!" he cried again. "Lay low! lay low! cover the child!" But his words were needless.
You often talk that way, but you cannot seriously think it, Elvira." But here Susannah struck against a vein of darkness in her companion's mind which it seemed to her had lain there like a black incomprehensible streak since the awful day of anguish and massacre at Haun's Mill. "Don't speak of it," cried Elvira with a shudder.
Through the dim light the boy now saw his companion's face for a few moments, and then the smuggler turned round, took another step, spread out his arms to grasp the rocky sides, and the next minute there was a low rustling sound and a puff of wind struck the lad in the face, followed by silence. "Are you there, Eben?" said Aleck, softly. "Right, my lad. Now, then, you don't want no more teaching.
"He can sit on the verandah or at the window of his room and listen to the waters as long as he likes. It is just the place for him." "How much does Mrs. Peterson want a week for their board?"

Odell-Carney and pudgy Mr. Rodney. They were sitting in a quiet corner of the reading-room. Mr. Rodney had had a hard day. He had climbed a mountain or, more accurately speaking, he had climbed half-way up and then the same half down. He was very tired. Freddie observed from his lonely station that Mr. Rodney was fast dropping to sleep, notwithstanding his companion's rapid flow of small talk.
But her stare was like a projected fear that the buried treasure, so dishonestly come by, for which her companion's still countenance, at the hour and afterwards, had consented to serve as the deep soil, might have worked up again to the surface, to be thrown back upon her hands. Yes, it was positive that during one of these minutes the Princess had the vision of her particular alarm.
"Civilian trousers will be conspicuous in a bright light. You are going to see this thing through, aren't you?" Madden nodded and followed his companion's example. Five minutes later the two, transformed into German sailors, walked out of the hanging laundry. "Don't seem, to observe anything," whispered Caradoc. "Appear to be going somewhere, on an errand. Walk just as if you belonged aboard."
"'Twas in the very mood of Jacques, my lady a melancholy fellow by profession " "Holding that light which another might presently approve" she broke in "and praise bestowing on ill deserts in the mere wantonness of a cynic wit! What! doth the cap fit?" The amazement in her companion's face was irresistible, and Phoebe burst forth into a spontaneous laugh of purest merriment.
Latour paused by the table, a little astonished perhaps at the concern in his companion's voice. Sabatier was to be trusted as a man who served well for payment, but his hands had been red often, and it was strange to hear anything like sentiment from his lips.
