All the waggons in the town and country round have been fetched in to carry their stores and baggage and a convoy of ammunition. I should say that you could not do better than go on with the waggons. No one is likely to ask you any questions, for it will be thought that you are drivers." "Thank you very much," Hector said; "that would certainly be a capital plan.
So we went up to the garden-gate and called out for the officer in charge of police quite grand. 'Here I am, says he, coming out, buttoning up his uniform coat. 'Is anything the matter? 'Oh! not much, says I; 'but there's a man sick at the Sportsman's Arms. He's down with the typhus fever or something. He's a mate of ours, and we've come from Mr. Grant's station. He wants a doctor fetched.
"That's exactly what I came down here to speak with you about, Gray," he said. "They've fetched Shade Buckheath in now, what do you make out of that?" Stoddard shoved the letter from the Eastern mining man back in its pigeon-hole. "Well," he said slowly, "I didn't expect that. I thought of course Shade was safely out of the country. I Passmore, I'm sorry they've got him."
I ran to the kitchen and fetched our tea, to the rage of Matthaios, who said he had no more water to replace it, and that as it was we could not have a cupful each. It was poured down his throat in a very rough way, but refused to stay.
It was unnecessary for Gray to order the car stopped; its brakes squealed, it ceased its progress as abruptly as if its front wheels had fetched up against a stone wall. "Hey! What the ?" "Don't try to 'heel' me with your elbow," Gray warned, sharply. "Now, up with 'em you know. That's nice." The faces of the men were close together.
"Men are all alike, young or old." "Don't ever think so," said Wade, earnestly. "No? I guess you're right about that. I've fetched you up some things for your cabin. May I peep in?" "Come in," replied Wade, rising. "You must excuse my manners. It's long indeed since I had a lady caller." She went in, and Wade, standing on the threshold, saw her survey the room with a woman's sweeping glance.

"'The anchorage is crowded under Drake's Island, he shouted back. 'It's the devil-among-the-tailors we'd play there, if we ever fetched. . . . Breakwater's no shelter either.
Alla ad Deen had fetched some water, and sprinkled it in her face, to recover her: whether that or the smell of the meat brought her to life again, it was not long before she came to herself. "Mother," said Alla ad Deen, "do not mind this; get up, and come and eat; here is what will put you in heart, and at the same time satisfy my extreme hunger: do not let such delicious meat get cold."
And indeed the poor rogue, having for the moment another's sins to confess, rattled on with his story almost glibly. "As I was saying, sir, the old man cut her out of his will: and not only this, but had a Bible fetched and took his oath upon it that no child of hers should ever touch a penny of his money. Be so good as to bear that in mind, sir, for it's important." "I see," Mr. Rogers nodded.
Willis, seeing that his old comrade was abandoned to die almost uncared for, staunched his wounds as well as he could, fetched him a panniken of water, and performed a number of other little acts of kindness and good will. This he did, less with a view of obtaining an explanation from him at a moment when no man lies, than to mitigate the pangs of his last convulsions.
