Thar's a good six hunnard of 'em, black an' yaller an' it's God A'mighty or Marse Christopher to 'em every one." "What is it now?" asked Christopher a little wearily, taking off his hat and running his hand through his thick, fair hair. "If anybody's been stealing chickens they've got to take the consequences." "Oh, it's not chicken stealin' this time; it's a blamed sight worse.
This Edith could not do, as yet. She was not quite strong enough. One had to sit in a frame that had a row of threads stretched across it, with another row running the same way but so fastened that at one end they could be either raised up above the level of the first row or dropped beneath it.
They could hear the roar of the flames now, and could see the figures of sepoys running here and there. The rattle of musketry was incessant. They could hear howls and yells and bugle-calls blown at random by the sepoys, and once, in answer as it seemed to a more than usually savage chorus from the enemy a chorus that was punctuated by a raging din of intermittent rifle-fire a ringing cheer.
I resolved to take the track that went south-east, and hoped to come upon one that would turn due east. Heavy shells, one every four minutes, rumbled high overhead, and crashed violently somewhere south of us. "They are shooting into Moislains," said Wilde. We trudged along hopefully. The dog was still with us, running in small circles round me.
"It remains for me to discover the darker half of my lady's secret." He avoided the village, still keeping to the meadows. The church lay a little way back from the straggling High street, and a rough wooden gate opened from the churchyard into a broad meadow, that was bordered by a running stream, and sloped down into a grassy valley dotted by groups of cattle.
He had also possessed to a certain extent the ear of those high in office; but, in some way, matters had not gone well with him, and in running his course he had gone on the wrong side of the post. He was still in the prime of life, and yet all men knew that Major Fiasco had nothing further to expect from the public or from the Government.
Olva's body seemed so tiny on that vast field two Dublin three-quarters came for him. He appeared to run straight into the arms of both of them and then was through them. They started after him one man was running across field to catch him. It was a race. Now there fell silence as the three men tore after the flying figure.
The truth is, that folks' fancy that such and such things cannot be, simply because they have not seen them, is worth no more than a savage's fancy that there cannot be such a thing as a locomotive, because he never saw one running wild in the forest. Wise men know that their business is to examine what is, and not to settle what is not.
I've learned better. You cannot get a thing over to people unless you know something of life speak the language. I'm learning, and when I feel that I cannot help writing I'll write." "Good!" Lynda saw his point; "and now let's haunt the theatres see the machinery in running order. We'll find out what people want and why." So they went to the theatre and read plays.
But for some reason the latter window had been closed or almost closed, and as I stood there this reason became apparent to me. The sound of running footsteps came from the direction of New Oxford Street. I turned to see two policemen bearing down upon me! This was a time for quick decisions and prompt action.
