If he'd done something wrong, he would hardly hire a man to work on the house while he was hiding in it. I guess he just wants to keep out of the way of everybody but his own particular cronies. But I wonder what he is up to, anyhow; getting his airship in shape again?" "Give it up, unless there's an aero meet on somewhere soon," replied Ned. "Maybe he's going to try a race again."
"Only for joy at having found the ring; you had concealed it so well! But you owe me a revenge, and this time you shall not beat me." "We shall see." We began a new race, and seeing that she was not running very fast, I thought I could easily distance her whenever I liked. I was mistaken.
In what measure, therefore, the life of man can be thought of as sinful, depends upon his knowledge of the will of God. In Scripture, as in the legends of the early history of the race, this knowledge stands in intimate connexion with the witness to a primitive revelation. This thought has had a curious history.
He founded the inter-hospital rowing club at Putney and rowed in the first inter-hospital race; he played on the Varsity football team, and won the "throwing the hammer" at the sports.
They were a hardy race of Kaffirs, sort of far-away cousins to the Zulu, and till the mines were opened they had behaved well enough. They had arms, which we had never dared to take away, but they kept quiet and paid their hut-taxes like men. I got to know many of the chiefs, and liked them, for they were upstanding fellows to look at and heavenborn shikaris.
This wretched life seems to me contemptible, and I am weary of running after you like a calf after a cow. I am free-born, and of noble race, my father himself has told me so, and I am certainly no feebler in body than the citizens' sons in the town with whom I went from the baths to the wrestling-school." "Did you go to the Palaestra?" asked Paulus in surprise.
'I have seen no man of the white race since the troubles began, I said; and you know I spoke not falsely.
The race was a short one, and the result a foregone conclusion. There was no hope of Clif's escaping from the pursuing boat, with its crew of fresh and eager oarsmen. The latter closed in upon him with a leap and a bound, and soon were within oar's length of him.
But as man enters Europe he begins to drop his flints on a soil that we have constant occasion to probe although the floor on which he trod is now sometimes forty or fifty feet below the surface and we obtain a surer glimpse of the fortunes of our race. Most European geologists count four distinct extensions of the ice-sheet, with three interglacial periods.
The hawk meant to save his dinner if he could. Round and round he went, ascending at every turn, his pursuer after him hotly. For aught I could see, he stood a good chance of escape, till all at once another pair of wings swept into the field of my glass. "A third is in the race! Who is the third, Speeding away swift as the eagle bird?" It was an eagle, an adult, with head and tail white.
