At first the Kaffir was very mutinous, and it was only when a stick was laid threateningly across his back that he sulkily complied, looking the while as if he would like to murder the man he was forced to obey.
"Everybody climb in," ordered Tom, with a wave of his hand. "I'll crank her up. You take the joy-stick, John." All hands complied. Then Tom began to turn the big burnished propeller, just as John threw a lever from the inside which caused the auxiliary ground wheel to shoot down and engage the sod. At the same time the movement of another lever by Paul set the airplane's brakes.
My appetite was tremendous, seeing that I had tasted nothing since the morning. I therefore immediately fell to on the roasted monkey, which I found superlatively delicious: the flesh of the parrot was far from being so tender and palatable. After our meal, I begged the Indians to perform one of their dances for me a request with which they readily complied.
"To you also, son of Arrius, my congratulations. There is nothing now to prevent your meeting Messala. Every condition preliminary to the race is complied with. I have the assurance from the editor himself." "I thank you, Malluch," said Ben-Hur. Malluch proceeded: "Your color is white, and Messala's mixed scarlet and gold. The good effects of the choice are visible already.
"No, I don't think so," replied Gordon, as if in answer to an unspoken question, as James, having complied with his request, drew near with the basin of fresh water. "Was it the dog?" asked James in a low voice. "Yes, the fool came round to the office door, and " Gordon stopped with a miserable sigh which was almost a groan, and dipped the cloth in the basin.
"You needn't distress yourself," David said, kindly. "I beg your pardon," Bell said, tartly. "He is to do that very same thing. Mental exercise never hurts anybody. Van Sneck is going to worry till he puzzles it out. Will you describe the ring to us?" The Dutchman complied at considerable length.
Locke to me?" asked the young man, who appeared to be laboring under some excitement. Walter was rather surprised at such a request, but complied with it. "Yes, he's the man," said his visitor, slapping his hands together impetuously. "He's the man that cheated me out of fifty dollars!" "You must be mistaken," said Walter. "How did he cheat you out of it?"
"Has the bluestone dissolved, sir?" "All but a few lumps." "Then that'll do. Now please lift down the water-cooler, sir, and place it by the table." As the superintendent complied all conversation ceased, and the crowd, moving hurriedly out of the way, looked on breathlessly, then turned to Alex, on his knees, fastening two pieces of wire to the squares of copper and zinc.
Micky observed this, and a cunning scheme suggested itself. He walked up to the young man, and said, cavalierly, "Give us a light, mister, will yer?" The young man mechanically took the cigar from his mouth, and passed it to the questioner without observing who he was. Had he done so, it is doubtful whether the request would have been complied with.
To fortune I am perfectly indifferent, and shall make no demand of that nature on your father, since I am well aware that it could not be complied with; and that one thousand pounds in the four per cents, which will not be yours till after your mother's decease, is all that you may ever be entitled to.
