I can just see him nicely curl and kick. Worse luck, I can't shoot a bloomin' 'ouse". But the opportunity was so exquisite, that he resolved to try the exit reached, would run, get a pistol, and return; but at the door itself a hand touched his shoulder, and, with a twist of guilty scare, he saw O'Hara. "Good Gawd!" he whispered, "what you want to startle anybody like that for?
For a long time the boys could discover nothing, but at last they caught sight of a little splash of water four or five hundred yards below, where a trickling stream entered the main river at a low place. "He'll stood there an' fight the fly, maybe so," said Moise. "Ha-hum! Why he'll don' see us I don' know, me. Why the boat he'll not scare heem I'll don' know, me, too.

"Well, it begins to look like real business," commented Hiram. "That's what we're here for." "Yes, indeed." They had no difficulty in getting the Monarch II aloft, the hollow extending for several hundred feet.
Why, just consider a moment what a tiresome thing life would be were it not for the prospect of death at any moment!

For she believed him utterly, without reservation. The moment he had spoken she was convinced that the panic was a silly scare which would be food for merriment in future years. And yet was not that smile in derision of herself of her friends who were running away? Was it not an assumption of Northern superiority, to be resented?
