Yet Mack Nolan heard nearly every word spoken by Smiling Lou, Casey and Jim Cassidy. I'm soft-hearted, myself; I never like to worry a reader more than is absolutely necessary. The Cadillac car, I should explain, was only one of Mack Nolan's little secrets. There is a very good garage at Goffs, not many miles from Juniper Wells.
"Make yourselves as comfortable as possible; we are not done for yet -not by a jugful," essayed McClure bravely as he sauntered into the torpedo room where Chief Gunner Mowrey and his men were assembled in hushed discussion of the Dewey's plight. Immediately "Little Mack" was surrounded by his men. They asked him all manner of questions.
He had on a coat and shiny shoes and a white vest and a high silk hat; and a geranium as big as an order of spinach was spiked onto his front. And he was smirking and warping his face like an infernal storekeeper or a kid with colic. "Hello, Andy," says Mack, out of his face. "Glad to see you back. Things have happened since you went away." "I know it," says I, "and a sacrilegious sight it is.
God never made you that way, Mack Lonsbury. Why do you scarify His works with this presumptuous kind of ribaldry?" "Why, Andy," says he, "they've elected me justice of the peace since you left." I looked at Mack close. He was restless and inspired. A justice of the peace ought to be disconsolate and assuaged.
He'll be along with Na-che in a moment. This isn't your camp?" "Come along, Miss Allen!" exclaimed Enoch. "I'll show you a camp that's run by an expert." Mack and Curly groaned and followed Enoch and Diana down to the cave, Jonas and Na-che appearing shortly. Jonas, hobbling to the cave opening stood for a moment, gazing at the group around the fire in silent despair.
"And if I break them?" "Then, by the Lord Harry, I'll break " The Captain stopped abruptly. "Mack, what be you doing in Little River?" Miss Pipkin had been disturbed by the noise, and now opened the study door. She looked alarmed. The swarthy face of the Captain was a sickly green where the white reflected through the deep tan. "Of all things!" exclaimed the housekeeper.
His chief desire now was to get out of there as soon as possible so that he could hunt up Mack Nolan and lick the livin' tar wit of him or worse. He wanted bail and he wanted it immediately. Not a soul bad come near him, save the trusty, in spite of certain mysterious messages which Casey had sent to the office, asking for an interview with the judge or somebody; Casey didn't care who.
Utterly astounded at the negligence of the duke of Brunswick, he exclaimed, while comparing him with Mack, "Les Prussiens sont encore plus stupides que les Autrichiens!" On being informed by some prisoners that the Prussians expected him from Erfurt when he was already at Naumburg, he said, "Ils se tromperont furieusement, ces perruques."
"Yes, yes, it's hard lines sometimes," said Father Mack. "You may find it even harder as the years go by, Dan. I heard about the trouble yesterday." "Oh, did you, Father?" said Dan, somewhat abashed. "Dud Fielding did stir the old Nick in me for sure." "Yes," said Father Mack. "And that same fierce spirit will be stirred again and again, Dan.
No sooner, however, had these poor creatures escaped one dreaded object than they encountered another, in the shape of Mack, who was on horseback. As soon as they saw him they took to their heels; but putting his horse into a canter, he was up with them before they were aware of it; on this they threw down their stones, bags, net, and fire-stick, and scrambled up into a tree.
