On the third day, shortly before this was to take place, Tomek's wife made her appearance at Antek's cottage. In the passage she almost came nose to nose with her sister, who was just taking a pail of dishwater out to the cowshed. 'Blessed be Jesus Christ, she murmured, and kept her hand on the door-handle. 'Now: look at that... soul of a Judas! Antkowa put the pail down hard.
The houses had gray, moss-grown, leaning walls, which seemed ready to topple over. In the roofs were yawning holes, and the doors hung aslant on broken hinges. It was apparent that no one had taken the trouble to drive a nail into a wall on this place for a long time. Meanwhile, he who was awake had figured out which house was the cowshed.
I've put him in a cowshed I found round the corner, and, faith, he fair laughed to be out of the blast. He's a very human creature, Mrs. Ranger, with the soul of a Christian, only a bit saintlier." "I shall have to make his acquaintance," said Sylvia. "Now come in and have some refreshment! I am sure you must need it." "And that's a true word," said Kelly, following her into the sitting-room.
But when the fellow comes for his bundle, never doubt but that Isak will be there to take him by the arm and make that arm a trifle blue. And as for kicking him off the place in a way he'd remember why, Isak would give him that too! Whereupon Isak left his window in the stable and went back to the cowshed and looked out from there, and could not rest.
It wanted nearly an hour of dinner-time, so Angela suggested an inspection of the home farm, which was close by, trusting that Henriette's love of animals would afford an all-sufficient diversion; nor was she disappointed, for the little fine lady was quite as much at home in stable and cowshed as in a London drawing-room, and spent a happy hour in making friends with the live stock, from the favourite Hereford cow, queen of the herd, to the smallest bantam in the poultry-yard.
That night they slept in a cowshed, where no cows had been since the Germans passed through so many months before, and on the morning of the third day they reached the large market town which marked the junction of the little river upon which the village of Fontanelle was situated with the Aisne. Mother Meraut was now upon familiar territory, among the scenes of her childhood.
I was tilting back in my chair for a few lazy moments after breakfast, idly alternating my gaze from the one window-pane of our shanty, through which was framed a bit of the prairie and the end of our cowshed, to the old rhyme of the 'Franckelyn's dogge' pinned on the logs near by.
Death had probably come to her so suddenly that she didn't even have time to lie down on her bed. As he thought of being alone with the dead in the middle of the dark night, he was terribly afraid. He threw himself headlong down the steps, and rushed back to the cowshed. When he told the cow what he had seen in the cabin, she stopped eating. "So my mistress is dead," said she.
Veyergang "a really remarkable specimen of the original healthiness in the common stock. One might say h'm, h'm that if Mrs. Veyergang could not get to the mountains, the mountains were so courteous as to come to her. The girl still had an odour of the cowshed about her perhaps; but when all's said and done, that was only a stronger assurance of originality.
I ejected the empty cartridge case, and was just about to reload when, whizz, whistle, bang, crash! a shell came right at the farm, and exploded in the courtyard behind. I stopped short on the beam. Whizz, whistle, bang, crash! Another, right into the old cowshed on my left.
