But there was no time for such reflections now; the savage who was knocked down recovered himself so far as to sit up upon the ground, and I perceived that my savage began to be afraid; but when I saw that, I presented my other piece at the man, as if I would shoot him: upon this my savage, for so I call him now, made a motion to me to lend him my sword, which hung naked in a belt by my side, which I did.
"There is no need to," said the detective, feeling his arms, which were rather sore. "Mallow, I beg your pardon for having fought you, but I knew you would not lend yourself to a deception, and the only way in which I could force this lady to show that she was able to walk was by a feigned fight." "Then you don't intend to arrest me?" said Mallow, rising and staring.
You know that as well as I do." O'Farrelly was painfully aware that a demonstration without a band is a poor business. He rose sadly and said good night. Hinde felt sorry for him. "If the police had any instruments," he said, "I'd lend them to you. But we haven't a band of our own here. There aren't enough of us." This assurance, though it was of no actual use, cheered O'Farrelly.
"This is plain," said Dent, knocking the ashes out of his pipe- the two men were loafing together near one of the quays "this is plain, and this only that when Will comes out of prison I goes in. I can't prove Will Scarlett innocent without proving myself t'other thing. Is it likely now you tell me as it's likely ef I'll lend myself to that sort of plan?" "Only you said it," replied Granger.

I, of course, could not join them, but Soper and Coal were very eager to lend a hand. I persuaded them, however, to come back with me to our ship after I had made all the inquiries I could for Jack without success.
He already owed Trautvetter more than a thousand marks; and the one-year volunteer now became less willing to lend, and caused the sergeant-major endless vexation and trouble. He would suddenly demand to be made corporal, or to be given a couple of weeks' leave: demands which it was quite impossible to grant.
"I can," said Brown. "How?" asked the ex-broker, with staring eyes. "I'll lend the money." The major dropped Brown's hand. "You heavenly lunatic!" said he. "I always did think religion made fools of men when they got too much of it. Then I could go back on the Street again; the boys would be glad to see me clear myself not meeting my engagements wouldn't be remembered against me.
Paul was a man of burning ardour, but had he not made the mistake of trying to lend too intellectual, too erudite, too complicated a colour to it all? The essence of the Gospel seemed to be that man should not be bound by the tradition of men; but St.
Subsequently, on the persuasion of Lord Exeter, Verrio was induced to lend his aid to royalty once more, and he condescended to decorate the grand staircase at Hampton Court for King William.
