"How long to sundown, sir?" said Mr Gregory. "Half an hour," said the captain, after a glance at the slowly descending orb. "And then it will be dark directly. What do you say, sir, give it up, land and set up camp, or keep on?" "Keep on, Gregory," said the captain, quietly. "There is a headland away yonder. Once we get round that we may see home. Tired, my lads?" "Tidy, sir," said Billy Widgeon.
In order to make it he has to conceal himself in the shrubbery before sundown, when the general public is chased out of the grounds and a guard set at the gates. Perhaps it was worth it, though, for Don Pedro says the Señorita Donna Mario is a lovely lady; at least, she was then.
Also used as a begging word by the French children. Stand to Order for all men to stand ready in the trench in event of a surprise attack, usually at sundown and sunrise. Stand down Countermanding "stand to." Stokes A bomb weighing about eleven pounds usually thrown from a mortar, but sometimes used by hand. Strafing One of the few words Tommy has borrowed from Fritz. To punish.
"Well, you got me. Thought I knowed somethin' about your style, but I don't even know your name." "Let's move on. You go ahead and get the cayuse. I want to talk to Sundown." Then Corliss explained his plan. He told Sundown to keep the water-hole fenced and so keep the sheep-men from using it. This would virtually control several thousand acres of range around the water-hole ranch.
She stopped. For the first time since that prehistoric period when she was "Miss Deane" and he "Mr. Jenks" she remembered the manner of her garments. "It is not the warm clothing you feel so much as the want of air," explained the sailor readily. "This tarpaulin has made the place very stuffy, but we must put up with it until sundown. By the way, what is that?"
Quarter of an hour later O'Higgins stepped off the gangplank. He carried a small bag. "This your regular business?" "For the present. Will you be wanting me alone?" asked Ah Cum. "I generally take a party." "What'll it cost to have you all to myself for the day?" Ah Cum named the sum. He smiled inwardly. Here was one of those Americans who would make him breathless before sundown.
"Won't you be lonely?" she asked, but Aunt Janice thinking of their pleasure, had shaken her head. "Not since you'll be coming back to have supper with me; don't stay any longer than sundown." "All right," replied Don. "I nearly forgot," Nora began, "may we invite any one in the forest, whom we chance to meet?" Aunt Janice nodded in the affirmative, and at last they were off.
We talked it over, and looked at it from all points, but we couldn't dodge the truth: the chart was wrong. Then we explored several of the nearest gullies, but without finding anything but loose stones baked hot in the sun. By now it was getting towards sundown, so we built us a fire of mesquite on the beach, made us supper, and boiled a pot of beans. We talked it over. The water was about gone.
Then he went on and told about it, and said it happened the day me and Tom come along about sundown. He said Jubiter pestered him and aggravated him till he was so mad he just sort of lost his mind and grabbed up a stick and hit him over the head with all his might, and Jubiter dropped in his tracks.
After sundown an officer came to me and said that the entire army was ordered to march at eight that evening, excepting troops sufficient to guard our camp; that there would be no alarm sounded, and that we were to observe secrecy and silence.
