The rhythm of the three green horsemen that was to have been the prelude to the Queen of Sheba began rollicking through his head. "But, Eddy, this is wonderful. It's us against the universe," he said in a boisterous voice. "You wait," said Eddy. When Andrews walked by the M.P. at the Gare-St. Lazare, his hands were cold with fear. The M.P. did not look at him.
He would hush his great, mellow voice into soft, melodious tones as he sung her favorite hymns, and often her feeble treble would blend with his rich baritone. He yearned over her with inexpressible tenderness, counting the minutes when on duty till the hour came which permitted his return. In his agony of apprehension "his flesh jes drap off'n him," as Aun' Sheba and his wife said.
When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace that he had built, the food on his table, the housing of his officers, the way his waiters served him, their clothing, his cup-bearers, and the burnt-offering which he offered at the temple of Jehovah, she was greatly surprised. She said to Solomon, "What I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom was true.

They have got the horse too and they're hitting the high spots to make their get-away." Elliot was locked up in the flimsy jail without breakfast. He was furious, but as he paced up and down the narrow beat beside the bed his anger gave way to anxiety. And Sheba would she accept as true this weight of circumstantial evidence that was piling up against him? It could all be explained so easily.
The boy followed, looking wonderfully like him, as he sprang into his own saddle with the same dare-devil vault. No one spoke a word, and he did not even look at Sheba, though she watched him with admiring and longing eyes.
It was no less than a conspiracy. What could an innocent young girl like Sheba know of such a man as Colby Macdonald? Her imagination conceived, no doubt, an idealized vision of him. But the real man was clear outside her ken. Gordon set his jaw grimly. He would have it out with Diane. He would let her see she was not going to have it all her own way. By God, he would put a spoke in her wheel.
Northerners were to her what the Philistines were to the ancient Hebrews, the hereditary foes from which she had suffered the chief ills of her life.
