Whichever one he followed left two unguarded. Should he creep upon for choice Carver Centre, the enemy, masked by a mile of fir trees, might advance from Carver or South Carver, and obviously he could not follow three roads at the same time. He considered the better strategy would be to wait where he was, where the three roads met, and allow the enemy himself to disclose his position.
"I can do it all right, sir, as long as I go about it quietly," he had assured me. But obviously he couldn't be expected to take up sick-nursing in addition. Moreover, the doctor peremptorily ordered Mr. Burns ashore. With a seaman on each side holding him up under the arms, the mate went over the gangway more sullen than ever.
General McClellan had obviously determined to direct his main assault against the Confederate left, a movement which General Lee had foreseen and provided for, and at dawn commenced a rapid fire of artillery upon that portion of the Confederate line.

Isn't it obviously somebody who has been a business associate and knows our little ways?

The two men, confused by this double disaster, were at a loss to know what to do. "They've got him," said the Big Business Man with conviction. "And the girl too, probably.

She gasped and resumed in a scream: "Why don't you go before I throw something at you?" Foster left and was glad when he shut the door. Carmen was obviously beside herself and had gone further than she meant.
