About two o'clock we saw the cavalry moving to the front, and knew the enemy had retreated. That night, as we collected on our old camp ground, what eager inquiries were made! With what welcome did we greet each new arrival; how excitedly the events of the last two days were discussed!
"Looks as if he'd come to stay, doctor," said the captain excitedly, as he bent down to glance along over the gun's two sights, for the shoal of fish had risen once more, turning the beautiful smooth sea into a diaper-like pattern, while the strange object seemed as far as they could make out to be making a snatching dart here and another there, seeming to be like some whale-like creature with a long neck.
I walked round the station, trying to find out where the bombs had fallen, but nobody knew. I went to the marquee and found Private Trotter sitting there, breathless and white. The neighbouring C.C.S. a few hundred yards away had been hit. A Sister and an orderly had been killed and several patients wounded. "It didn't 'alf put me wind up," said Trotter, excitedly.
I'll just make sure of this one: it can't win. And at that, I'll be another fifteen dollars in." Deliberately he shifted the nineteen remaining of his original stack to keep company with his winning chip on the Double O.... A minute or so later the man at his elbow said excitedly: "I'll be damned if it didn't repeat! Can you beat that !" P. Sybarite stared stupidly. "How's that?" he said.
I've got it," cried Percival excitedly. "Have you thought of a wedding journey?" "A what?" "Wedding trip, honeymoon." "Well, we might walk up and down the main street here a coupla times," said Buck sarcastically. "Or take a stroll along the beach or something like that." "What's the matter with a nice long sea voyage?" "Say, I'm not kidding about this thing," exclaimed Mr. Chizler, bristling.
There were three prints of just such a boot as he had described. "You see the small heel print," continued Prescott, in a whisper. "And you note that the front part of the foot makes a heavy impression, as it would when the foot is tilted forward by a high heel." "I don't believe another man in the town ever wore a pair of boots such as made these prints," murmured Darrin excitedly.
Fenger got up and began to pace the floor, not excitedly, but with an air of repression. He looked very powerful and compelling, there in the low-ceilinged, luxurious room. "I'll make it brief. We met yesterday in Haynes's office. Of course we had discussed the thing before. You know that. Haynes knew that I'd never run the plant under the new conditions.
"Yes, yes; of course," cried the professor excitedly. "Now we must be more cautious than ever." "Exactly; we must tell Ibrahim not to do the slightest thing to excite suspicion." "I am not going to trust Ibrahim to communicate with Hal," said Frank decisively. "I must do this myself." "You?" cried the doctor in surprise; and the professor looked at him wonderingly.
"Quick, then, quick!" cried Mark, excitedly; and the men went at it with a cheer, while the shouting of orders on deck grew more loud and angry. "We must get out, Tom," cried Mark, "and make a desperate effort ourselves. If the boats get here first, they will claim to have taken the schooner, and rob us of all the honour." "We'll try, sir," cried Tom. "Go it, my lads! Lay your backs into it.
Hansel looked at him almost contemptuously. "Ought we, indeed!" he exclaimed. "And I suppose you know where we're going to get it?" "We must think," said Everychild. And at that very moment there was the sound of some one coming along the road, singing. They all looked to see who it was. "Aladdin!" exclaimed Everychild excitedly. It was indeed Aladdin.
