I accordingly rode past, and had with some difficulty crossed a deep rivulet, when I heard somebody holla; and looking behind, saw those I had taken for elephant hunters running after me, and calling out to me to turn back.
Is it as a foretaste of the Bastille?" "Holla! abbe," said D'Harmental, in a cheerful voice, "no such jokes, I beg; they might bring misfortune." "But look! look!" said Brigaud, throwing his eyes round him, "would not any one suppose they were visiting a conspirator? Pistols on the table, a sword on the pillow, and a hat and cloak on the chair.
Holla, you, sir!" and the unhappy gardener looked up from his flower-beds; "what ails you? I have a great mind to tell my father of you you grow stupider every day. I told you to put the tent under the lime-trees." "We could not manage it, sir; the boughs were in the way." "And why did you not cut the boughs, blockhead?" "I did not dare do so, sir, without master's orders," said the man doggedly.
"Oh, as to that," resumed Philip, quickly, and with a heightened colour, "I could have managed it very well if I had not given thirty guineas for a brace of pointers the other day: they are the best dogs you ever saw." "Thirty guineas!" echoed Arthur, looking with native surprise at the speaker; "why, how old are you?" "Just fifteen last birthday. Holla, John!
But I heard the serving-fellows prate of what they had seen and heard; and though their tales were confused enough, yet if there was any truth among them at all, I should say the devil must have been in the dance. But, holla! here comes some one upon us. Stand, friend who art thou?"
I was going to holla after them, although it had been to little purpose, when I observed a huge creature walking after them in the sea, as fast as he could: he waded not much deeper than his knees, and took prodigious strides: but our men had the start of him half a league, and the sea thereabouts being full of sharp-pointed rocks, the monster was not able to overtake the boat.
"But he will not fire; the Romans deem it prudent to halt; nay, by heaven, they countermarch to the rear. Holla! Colonel Howard, my worthy host, fall back on your reinforcements; the wood is full of armed men; they cannot escape us; I only wait for the horse to cut off the retreat."
I ain’t tuck Sampson’s place: no, suh.” “Oh, he’s having a day off ” Hosmer went on, smiling quizzingly at the dapper little darkey, and handing him a red apple from the dish of fruit standing in the center of the table. Maje received it with a very unmilitary bob of acknowledgment. “He yonda home ’cross de riva, suh. He ben too late fu’ kotch de flat’s mornin’ An’ he holla an’ holla.
The gun had been fired just as I came on deck, but no responding tinkle gave notice of any vessel being in the neighbourhood. Ten minutes, it may have been a quarter of an hour, when a short roll of the drum was beaten from the forecastle, where I was standing. At the moment I thought I heard a holla, but I could not be sure.
Next moment, with Cunora's despairing cry ringing in her ears, Holla began to crawl backward and downward. She could plainly see the sun's level rays above her head, irregular beams of yellowish light; it served slightly to illuminate her surroundings.
