"I'll tell you, fellows," began Rob, a day or so after they had brought home the young eagles "I'll tell you what we ought to do to-day after we have got the breakfast dishes done. Let's make a trip over to the big rocks beyond, where we went with Jimmy that time. If the eggs are not all hatched, and if these birds keep on laying, as maybe they do, we might still get some fresh eggs."
For the sake of the practice in it and in preparation for their games in the Eastern Ontario Hockey League, they took on the Maitland Mill team. It took the Black Eagles a full week to recover sufficient control to be able to speak intelligibly as to the "how" and "why" of that match.
Quit my father's house, or, as I tell you now, the day may come when a doom will fall upon you there for your insolence in it. And even as Telemachus spoke, two eagles from a mountain crest flew over the place where the council was being held. They wheeled above and flapped their wings and looked down upon the crowd with destruction in their gaze.
"Any from our patrol?" "Ritter." Don caught his breath. "There's a scout from the Foxes and one from the Eagles, too," said Bobbie. But Don could find no consolation in the fact that other than Wolf patrol scouts were derelict. "I think they wanted to quit," Bobbie went on, "but Tim jawed them you know and they went along." Don could find no comfort in that, either. The inning was over.
"'Drot me if I know a better way than to jump slick aboard her, returned Desborough musingly; 'forty genuine Kaintucks ought to swallow her up, crew and all. "'I guess they would, returned his companion, 'but they are not Kaintucks, but only rig'lars; and then agin if they are discovered one spry cannon shot might sink her; and if the eagles go to the bottom, we shall lose our fiftieth.
Had Napoleon promptly launched his Old and Middle Guard at Wellington's centre, victory might still have crowned the French eagles. But to Ney's request for more troops he returned the petulant answer: "Troops? where do you want me to get them from? Am I to make them?" At this time the Prussians were again masters of Planchenoit.
The red regiment of English guards, lying flat behind the hedges, sprang up, a cloud of grape-shot riddled the tricolored flag and whistled round our eagles; all hurled themselves forwards, and the final carnage began.
Now, somewhere, somehow, sometime during his checkered career, Pig Head had heard, or read, of a way of catching golden eagles. He proceeded. Upon an unholy and cold shaly slope well up among the clouds, the mist, and the ptarmigan, Pig Head had hollowed him out a hollow, roomy enough for himself to crouch in. He was the sort of man that crouched and "grouched."
He repeats the story which we know as that of "Sinbad the Sailor," saying that the diamonds lie in inaccessible valleys, into which lumps of flesh being thrown, to which the precious stones adhere, these are carried up TO the summits by eagles, which are then driven off and the stones secured.
Eagles was absorbed in the study of a certain branch of political statistics; the enthusiasm of his life was Financial Reform. Every budget presented to Parliament he criticised with extraordinary thoroughness, and, in fact, with an acumen which would have made him no inefficient auxiliary of the Chancellor himself.
