But when Biorn's fellows saw that, they went to their ship, and made off north along the land to meet Thorkel and told him of this hap: he said it had not come to pass ere it might have been looked for. Soon after this Thorkel went south to Drontheim, and met there Earl Svein. Grettir went south to Mere after the slaying of Biorn, and found his friend Thorfinn, and told him what had befallen.
Her father saw it. He had better not tell her his fancy to-night about Gaunt wishing her to be his wife. He hallooed to him, bidding him "hap up an' come along till see what the Yankees were about. Go in, Dode, you sha'n't be worrit, child." Gaunt came closer, fastening his thin coat. A lean face, sharpened by other conflicts than disease, poetic, lonesome eyes, not manly.
Gall, tells in prolix and pompous, but evidently heartfelt and sincere terms, the tale of the great emperor's far-sightedness. "Charles, who was ever astir," says he, "arrived by mere hap and unexpectedly, in a certain town of Narbonnese Gaul. Whilst he was at dinner, and was as yet unrecognized of any, some corsairs of the Northmen came to ply their piracies in the very port.
On we went, straight along the valley, crossing drift after drift; a drift is the bed of a stream more or less dry; in which sometimes you are drowned, sometimes only POUNDED, as was our hap. The track was incredibly bad, except for short bits, where ironstone prevailed.
"Would to God," spake Gotelind, "an' that might hap, sith we do hear such speech of her many honors, that she might perchance replace our lady for us in our old age, and that we might be fain to let her wear the crown in Hungary." Then spake the margrave: "My love, ye must offer to those who are to ride with me to the Rhine, your goods in loving wise.
He celebrates his expected departure in some verses more witty than moral, in which he addresses our islanders as follows: 'Jamaica bodies, use him weel, And hap him in a cosy biel, Ye'll find him aye a dainty chiel, And fu' of glee; He wadna wrang the very deil, That's ower the sea.
Oxenham fought shy of the native villages, not being minded to give rumour the chance to herald our approach to the golden goal we sought. "By good hap we came upon a stream at the foot of some hills, flowing westwards. We followed it for a while, until we felt assured that it was navigable, and also that it emptied itself into the Pacific.
Saul said then to David: Blessed be thou, my son David. And David went then his way, and Saul returned home again. And David said in his heart: Sometime it might hap to me to fall and come into the hands of Saul, it is better I flee from him and save me in the land of the Philistines. And he went thence with six hundred men and came to Achish king of Gath and dwelled there.
Bill Varney had always carried a rifle and had been unable to avail himself of it in time; Hap Smith in assuming the responsibilities of the United States Mail had forthwith invested heavily of his cash on hand for a Colt forty-five and wore it frankly in the open. His, by the way, was the only gun in sight, although there were perhaps a half dozen in the room.
Hap Smith's eyes went back to the man sitting his horse in the middle of the road, just across the fallen pine tree.
