"Hallo, you sir, what the deuce are you doing here?" one asked angrily. "Don't you know nobody is allowed to pass through the lines?" "I didn't see no lines. What sort of lines are they? No one told me nothing about lines. My mother sent me out to sell plantation liquor, fifteen cents a glass." "What's it like?" one of the officers said laughing.
The native had crossed the road, and was now running along with silent footsteps some distance ahead of him. Suddenly, as the fellow passed under the light of a dingy lamp, Helmar caught the glint of a long curved knife he was carrying in his hand. "Hallo!" he muttered, "there's crime afoot!" and dodging on to the sandy road he hurried on.
Before Gaff spoke again, the closet door once more opened, and a slender sprightly girl just budding into womanhood tripped across the room. "Hallo!" exclaimed Billy, "who can that surely! impossible! yes it is, it must be Tot, for I could never mistake her mouth!" "D'ye see any sign of of a man?" said Gaff in a voice so deep and peculiar, that his son turned and looked at him in surprise.
I tell you of it boldly as an old friend. You are too confoundedly chary in leading out your trumps, and you can't deny it." "Hallo!" said Captain Brentwood, "who comes so late?" Mary Hawker rose from her chair, and looked eagerly towards the door. "I know who it is," she said, blushing. "I heard him laugh." In another moment the door was thrown open, and in stalked Tom Troubridge.
We had all clustered up round about the players, and two masters shook hands with the champion, who directly after caught sight of me. "Hallo! How's the head?" he cried. "Getting better now." "I saw you watching the match," he continued. "Nice time you had of it lying about under that tree, while we fellows did all the work."
He carried his shoes and stockings beneath one arm, and in the other hand swung a hazel branch. He stood with his little brown legs well apart, regarding me with a critical eye; but when at length he spoke his attitude was decidedly friendly. "Hallo, man!" "Hallo," I returned; "and whom may you be?" "Well, my real name is Reginald Augustus, but they call me 'The Imp."
They had not proceeded more than half a mile when a Polar bear walked leisurely out from behind a lump of ice, where it had been regaling itself on a dead seal, and sauntered slowly out towards the icebergs seaward, not a hundred yards in advance of them. "Hallo! look there! what a monster!" shouted Fred, as he cocked his musket and sprang forward. "What'll you do, Tom, you've no gun?"
A little while after this, Frederick was playing at the front door of the house, when a boy passing on the other side of the street, called out, "Hallo, Master Fred., have you put any more people's eyes out lately?" This was enough to make him angry. He immediately picked up a large stone, and chasing the boy some distance, threw it at him with all his might.
John, with his hands in his pockets, strutted across the yard, still watching Gilmour with that silent, offensive look. He came into the path of the whalebone. "Get out, you smeowt!" cried Gilmour, and with a vicious shove of the brush he sent a shower of dirty drops spattering about the boy's bare legs. "Hallo you! what are ye after?" bawled the boy. "Don't you try that on again, I'm telling ye.
Minnie found her father and four brothers in the parlour when she came in, flushed and breathless with her run home. "Hallo, Min!" Exclaimed Charlie, the eldest of her brothers, a young man of about twenty-two.
