"I was considering what to ask," replied Pauline. "It isn't to ask, it is to command," said Miss Tredgold. "What sort of a queen would you make, Pauline, if you really had a kingdom? This is your kingdom. It lasts for a few hours; still, for the present it is your own. Your sway is absolute." "Then let us have hide-and-seek in the garden," she said. She laughed. The spell was broken.
And finally it came to defying the sheriff, evading capture by flitting to another county, and playing a game of hide-and-seek, until their bold methods were the talk of the whole country. Then it was the Coconino sheriff had conceived the idea of an alliance with his brother officer in the adjoining county, of which the thriving city of Prescott was the seat of government. Frank even had Mr.
I don't suppose the destruction of one little mesh of wires had ever created such a disturbance before. Leider's cruiser rested in the hangar two caverns away. "Play hide-and-seek with them!" I shouted against the turmoil. The initial wave of the attack struck us as we tore from the laboratory corridor into the first power room.
During the few hideous years of hide-and-seek she had passed in trying to protect the traitor, Richard O'Brien, she had no doubt had real enough reason to dread a spy in every stranger; but I had cheerfully advised her "not to be morbid" when she spoke of herself as a dangerous companion, or stopped me with a gasp in the midst of what seemed an innocent question about her stepdaughter.
"It seems a likely spot, maybe," was the reply. "I'm looking." And he closed the mouth of the sack with his foot lest they should see its emptiness. But the use of the verb set the children off at once. "I say," Tim exploded eagerly, "we're looking too for somebody who's hiding. Have you seen any one?" "Some one very wonderful?" said Judy. "Has he passed this way? It's Hide-and-Seek, you know."

The Boers, in alarm, sent four of their number to ask for peace!
There was plenty of time for Antony to begin with, "Are there as many conies as ever in the chase?" and to begin on a discussion of all the memories connected with the free days of childhood, the blackberry and bilberry gatherings, the hide-and-seek in the rocks and heather, the consternation when little Dick was lost, the audacious comedy with the unsuspected spectators, and all the hundred and one recollections, less memorable perhaps, but no less delightful to both.
And in the fairy ring around Longfellow fountain, gnomes and fays and freshmen play hide-and-seek with the water nixies. The first Tree Day was Mr. Durant's idea; no one was more awake than he, in the old days, to Wellesley's poetic possibilities. And the first trees were gifts from Mr. Hunnewell; two beautiful exotics, Japanese golden evergreens one for 1879 and one for 1880.
It was impossible not to seen them, for they could not keep still a moment. They were here, there, and everywhere, playing hide-and-seek and skipping and racing wherever they could find an opening, and by and by, taking hold of each other, they started dancing.
But though fathers and mothers were sad, not so the children the ship's motion was so steady that they were able to run and play about almost as well as on land; and the sails, filled full by the favorable wind, needed so little change that the second mate, whose turn it was to keep watch, permitted many a scamper, and even a game at hide-and-seek among the coils of cable, and under the folds of the great sail, which some of the crew were mending on the deck.
