Was there no future home for the dead of this world? Should the bands of love and friendship, thus rudely severed, be renewed no more? Was there no land where the broken links might be gathered up again? What did philosophy say of these grim hours of struggle and separation? Nothing absolutely nothing! Was she to see her sister no more?
The stout man, who was in the slings of the mast, and the first to succumb, was rudely awakened by the rollicking yardarm man slapping him sharply on the back and shouting at him, "what the h he meant by sleeping there and risking his own and other people's lives?" The phlegmatic gentleman grumbled out: "What business is that of yours?"
As she said this the hope which Morris had felt at first, and which had been dashed so rudely to the ground, now returned, and he attempted to put his arm about her and draw her to him; but the young lady quickly eluded his grasp, stepping to the other side of the flag-pole, and putting her hand upon it. "Mr. Morris," she said, "there is no use of your saying anything further.
The song pursued him as he went, but he heard only the clear sweet tones, not the words. And yet even the words would have spelled to his awakened sensibilities another idea, would have symbolized however rudely, companionship and the human delight of acting a part before a woman.
The guide told them not to be concerned at his absence if he did not get in until late on the following day, and the Overland Riders sought their blankets for a rest which all needed. The night passed without one of the girls moving, so far as any of them could remember, when they were rudely awakened next morning.
He arose and moved up the chamber a little way, out of the current of poisoned air that still sifted in through the crevices of his rudely built wall. Here he lay down on a place soft with culm, to take his contemplated rest, and, before he was aware of it, sleep had descended on him, overpowered him, and bound him fast. But it was a gracious victor.
I practiced that smile half the afternoon. I rehearsed putative parts in hypothetical conversations. I got up stories. I dipped in a book on Queensland at the club. And at last it was 7.45, and I was making my bow to a somewhat elderly man with a small bald head and a retreating brow. "So you're Mr. Raffles's friend?" said he, overhauling me rather rudely with his light small eyes.
My much-needed slumbers at my new quarters are rudely disturbed as a son of Erin might, perhaps, declare under similar circumstances before they are commenced, by the fearful yowling of Beerjand cats.
Nearly twenty-five years after the repulse of Lord Macartney, in 1816, another splendid embassy was despatched by the British government, in the person of Lord Amherst, who was much more rudely dismissed, without even being admitted to the presence of the emperor, or passing a single hour at Pekin.
"Harper from Nanaimo came day before yesterday. He left medicine and directions; he can't come again. He has more cases than he can handle over there." They went through the front door into a big, rudely furnished room with a very old and worn rug on the floor, a few pieces of heavy furniture, and bare, uncurtained windows. A heap of wood blazed in an open cobblestone fireplace.
