"What are you going to do with 'em?" put in Halicarnassus again. I hesitated a moment, undecided whether to be amiable or bellicose under the provocation, but concluded that my ends would stand a better chance of being gained by adopting the former course, and so answered seriously, as if I had not been switched off the track, but was going on with perfect continuity,
"I was talkin' in the abstrac'," said the yellow horse, in an altered voice. "Abstrac' be switched! Ez I've said, it's this yer blamed abstrac' business that makes the young uns cut up in the Concord; an' abstrac' or no abstrac', he crep' on an' on till he come to killin' plain an' straight killin' them as never done him no harm, jest beca'se they owned horses."
I waited with the vitriol on the stool by my side, for the light to be switched on, but nothing happened. I don't know what made me do it but I walked towards the person who had come into the room. "Then, before I knew what had happened, somebody had gripped me.
They'd probably suggest guns and swords. That's the way they fixed up my room." Aunt Hannah raised shocked hands of protest. "As if we would! Mercy, what a time that was!" Billy laughed again. "I never shall forget, never, my first glimpse of that room when Mrs. Hartwell switched on the lights. Oh, Aunt Hannah, I wish you could have seen it before they took out those guns and spiders!"
When Andrews reached the place, he found that the freight had not arrived. He therefore switched his train into a siding to wait for the freight train, and repeated his powder story for the benefit of the inquisitive. When the freight arrived, he saw that it carried a red flag. This meant another train was on the road.
He stood at the threshold, an electric torch in his hand. "We thought you called," he apologized. "I thought maybe you were sick, or wanted something; and no light showed around your door." I found the wall switch and turned on the lamps. As on the last occasion, she had switched the lights off there, beyond my reach unless I broke my promise not to move about the room while she remained my guest.
He ran his engine fifty and a half miles two of them backing the whole freight train up to Adairsville made twelve stops, coupled to the two cars which the fugitives had dropped, and switched them off on sidings all this, in one hour and five minutes. We doubt if the victory of Manasses or Corinth were worth as much to us as the frustration of this grand coup d' etat.
With Lieutenant Mackinson leading, Jerry just behind him and Slim bringing up the rear, they crossed the five feet of narrow passageway back into the natural dungeon. The lieutenant switched on his light. Involuntarily and with a startled gesture he stepped back. "Jumping Jupiter!" exclaimed Jerry, "what's that?"
Come, stand up and let me fasten the water-jar upon your back." He spoke sternly and even switched Leo with his olive stick. Leo had never been treated like this. He was the King of Beasts, and it was shame for a King to do donkey's work. His eyes flashed, and he had half a mind to refuse and to run away. Then he looked at the good man and remembered how he had taken out that cruel thorn.
He eat seventeen." "Mack's appetite is notorious at the ranch," admitted Frances, glad Mrs. Peckham had finally switched from the subject of the lost chest. "He was telling me about that burned wagon you passed on the trail. Can't for the life of me think who it could belong to," said Mrs. Peckham. "We thought once that Mr. Bob Ellis was ahead of us on the trail," said Frances.
