You'll sing better than at least half of Jennings's pupils." "Then he doesn't take only those worth while?" Mrs. Brindley looked amused. "How would he live if he did that? It's a teacher's business to teach. Learning that's the pupil's lookout. If teachers taught only those who could and would learn, how would they live?" "Then I'll not know whether I'll do!" exclaimed Mildred.
His great strength enabled him to climb up again to his window; still, he was almost exhausted by the time he gained the sill, where he crouched on the lookout, exactly like a cat on the parapet of a gutter. Before long, by the pale light of dawn, he perceived as he waved the rope that there was a little interval of a hundred feet between the lowest knot and the pointed rocks below.
"Suppose I should." "Then you wouldn't mess around in Cape Cod Bay. You'd set a course as far from other craft and harbours as you could. If they went south they'd be among boats right along, and they'd know that we'd work the wires and that folks would be on the lookout." "Then where," began Steve. "Let's look at the chart from here north," said Phil.
In directing Sherman to attack the north end of the ridge, Grant disconcerted Bragg who was thus made to fear the loss of his depot of supplies at Chickamauga Station and compelled him to resist stoutly; and stout resistance to Sherman meant the withdrawal of the Confederates from Lookout Mountain.
Pete had promised to come that morning, and she hadn't seen him yet. She supposed he had come, and that, though she had been on the lookout for him, she had missed him. She felt as if they were never going to see each other again. When she found she was to be alone at luncheon with Farron, she thought of appealing to him, but was restrained by two considerations.
If you hear of its bein' found, tell 'em to fetch it here." He carefully wrote out a notice which he pinned up alongside an advertisement of a boat for sale, a cottage to let, and a moonlight excursion. "That'll fetch it," he said. "If it's been found on this island, you'll get it. You tell 'em over to the P'int we're on the lookout. How is it you're undertakin' to look it up, Ellis?
We must, therefore, regard the house as our citadel, close up the lower windows and doors with sandbags, and defend it to the last. Still, if they are determined, the lookout is not a very bright one." "I am in favor of our cutting our way out, Major," Captain Forster said; "if we are cooped up here, we must, as you say, in the long run be beaten."
"'Bout no'theast by no'th," was the calm reply. "Runnin' fair, but with lookout for wind ahead." "Hain't got a spare chaw nowheres about you, have you, Cap'n?" anxiously inquired "Bluey" Batcheldor. Mr. Batcheldor is called "Bluey" for the same reason that Mr. Wixon is called "Squealer," and that reason has been forgotten for years.
Mapps, who was on the lookout for places of historical interest, as he turned to a group of seamen. "You mentioned it this morning," replied one of the students. "In what connection?" "Some man had a wonderful escape from it," added another. "Who was that man?" "A Dutchman with a Latin name." "Grotius, or De Groot," added Mr. Mapps.
Can see the periscope bobbing, sir!" was the statement that changed the entire atmosphere of the battleship from that of mere curiosity and interest to the wildest excitement. The thing the lookout had spied bobbing in the sea was not exactly in the wake of the battleship, for those who rushed to the port rail could see it quite well.
