You have pillaged their properties, and through your tyrannical acts, all that they had was taken from them.... Before God, a handful of dust is greater than your kingdom, glory, sovereignty and dominion, and should He desire, He would scatter you as the sand of the desert. Erelong His wrath shall overtake you, revolutions shall appear in your midst and your countries will be divided!
There are, we know, paths across the hills by which infantry might effect a passage; but as there is nowhere a place for them to retire to, we should easily overtake them and force them to surrender. "No, their only hope is in the coming of relief." A few hours later, the king himself rode in.
The long face he made at this announcement caused Clary to burst into a loud laugh. "You see it is folly to attempt to overtake the Count of Monte-Cristo," said Madame Caraman to Clary; "if you follow my advice, return to Marseilles, where we can wait for news of the Ice Bird and " "Go back?" interrupted Clary. "Never!"
"Where are your horses, sire?" asked Mabel. "Tied to a tree at the foot of the hill," replied Henry. "But I have attendants midway between this spot and Snow Hill." "This way, then!" said Mabel, breaking from him, and darting into a narrow path among the trees. Henry ran after her, but was not agile enough to overtake her. At length she stopped.
Then he hurried on to overtake the crowd of boys he had left, Linda's heart was racing in her breast. Turning, she re-entered the school building, and taking a telephone directory she hunted an address, and then, instead of going to the car line that took her to Lilac Valley she went to the address she had looked up.
Both the country and its ruler bear the name of Coiba, as we have already stated is the case, at Careta. As the country of Javana is the richest of all in gold, it is called Coiba Rica. And in fact, wherever one digs, whether on dry land or in the river-beds, the sand is found to contain gold. The cacique Javana fled when the Spaniards approached, nor was it possible to overtake him.
'And she shall follow after her lover, but she shall not overtake him; and she shall seek him, but shall not find him; then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now! ... Tess, my trap is waiting just under the hill, and darling mine, not his! you know the rest."
The Panes could not be far off they might still be in ambush between him and the Waco camp, or halted among the hills. The cibolero had but little fear of meeting one or two of them. He rode a horse in which he had full confidence; and he knew that no Pane could overtake him; but he might be surrounded by numbers, and intercepted before he could reach the Waco lodges.
It is true that nothing very crucial followed. For when, after the carriage had pulled up and interrupted the current of conversation, and gone on again leaving it doubtful how it should be resumed, it again stopped for the pedestrians to overtake it, it became morally incumbent on them to do so, and also prudent to accept its statement that it was nearly half-past six, and to take advantage of a lift that it offered.
Hamersley has his horse fairly astretch ere the fugitives, though out of sight, are many hundred yards ahead; for the scenes and speeches recorded occupied but a few seconds of time. He is confident of being able to overtake them. He knows his Kentucky charger is more than a match for any Mexican horse, and will soon bring him up with Uraga and the other officer.
