I said with a groan, for there were no more fierce tugs, and as I hauled, the line came in yard by yard for me to cast down on the deck. "The line's broken," said Mr Denning in a husky voice, as he drew out his handkerchief to wipe his face. "Yes; it was a monster," I said dolefully. "Oh, what a pity!" "Missed one?" said the captain. "Yes, sir; a great fellow, five feet long at least."
Pantomime to show great grief and a deep sense of cruel injury, but the tears ceased to flow because of the fact that she was past tears now. "I'll leave Whitehall this day!" she said, shaking her head dolefully. "I am not strong enough to bear your Majesty's unjust frown. I have tried to do right, tried to please you and the duchess everybody, and this is my reward!
By this time, Eyebright was very tired, and could hardly keep from crying as they drove away from the third place. "What shall we do if nobody will take us in?" she asked papa dolefully. "Shall we have to sit in the wagon all night?" "Guess 't won't come to that," said the cheery driver. "Downs'll take you. I'll bet a cookie he will." When he came to "Downs's," he jumped out and ran in.
Not, however, till he had witnessed a strange sight. About a quarter to seven Booms, whose early evening it was, showed signs of uneasiness. He glanced sorrowfully once or twice at the clock, then at Horace, then at Waterford. Then he got up and put his papers away. Finally he mused on a washhand basin in a corner of the room, and said dolefully, "I must dress, I think, Waterford."
I crouched myself up in one corner of the hole, and was gradually falling into disagreeable ruminations, when Mr Pigtop crept out of his hammock and into the berth, and sat himself down as far from me as possible. "Rattlin," said he, at length, dolefully, "you have beaten me dreadfully." "It was your own seeking I am sorry for your sufferings."
Many a fight in the September-October push was waged by non-teetotal officers, who had nothing with which to disguise the hideous taste of chlorinate of lime in the drinking water. Ah well! There was also the serious matter of Major Mallaby-Kelby's pipe. It became a burning topic on Sept. 4. "I must have dropped it yesterday when we tumbled into that gas," he told me dolefully.
"But if we keep staring straight up at that as we go, we are sure to reach our shore somewhere." I yawned and shivered. "Must we row, Bigley, old fellow?" I said dolefully. "Yes. Now, then. Both together." I let my oar fall in the water with a splash, and then began to pull, feeling dreadfully stiff and cold, and aching so that I could hardly use my arms.
In the shock of that moment I reached out to support her, but she checked my hand. Her gray eyes opened again. A shudder visibly went over her, as if the night air had suddenly become chill. From the shelf the two stuffed birds regarded us dolefully, while the dancing faun, with head thrown back in an attitude of immortal art, laughed derisively. "Where is he?
On the Jersey side my master said to a stranger who stood eating a currant bun: "Me and my doggie, we are bound for the Rocky Mountains." But what pleased me most was when my old man pulled both of my ears until I howled, and said: "You common, monkey-headed, rat-tailed, sulphur-coloured son of a door mat, do you know what I'm going to call you?" I thought of "Lovey," and I whined dolefully.
"You were ever a croaker, good Merlin," replied Sir Launcelot. "See not the thing so dolefully, I pray you." "And think of the worth of what we accomplish," added Sir Galahad. "Here now comes the Gascon with his answer, I see. Let us listen to what he says." "We bid you welcome to Gascony and pray you to come within. My master sends his greetings and awaits you."
