They packed 'em off to the west'ard in a couple of waggons, and a troop of our men as escorts. Fine fellows, sir, all but that one as fired the Hall. I couldn't help being sorry to see how wounded and helpless they were. But how they carried it off, laughing and talking there till they'd been seen to, and were tired and got stiff!
Undine was too young to take note of culinary details, but she had expected to view the company through a bower of orchids and eat pretty-coloured entrees in ruffled papers. Instead, there was only a low centre-dish of ferns, and plain roasted and broiled meat that one could recognize as if they'd been dyspeptics on a diet! With all the hints in the Sunday papers, she thought it dull of Mrs.
"Cole, do you know about how much the authorities at Jamesville would want for their old engine?" "I haven't the least idea, but I should think they'd sell it cheap." "Do you know whether they will sell it?" asked Tom. "No, not for sure, but I should think they would." "We can't go by that," declared Bert. "We've got to find out for sure."
They'd never think of offering to carry our buckets." Her husband who had appeared to be asleep said: "Why should they?" and then shouted "Gee Haw" and made a futile kick toward the nearest ox. Nobody paid any attention to him and Lucy said: "Yes, he's very fine looking. And you'd never met till you started on the trail? Isn't that romantic?" Susan was gratified.
"Ay, ay, sir, and no mistake, for we couldn't have took the schooner again without them." "There, silence!" cried Mark. "These men must keep the blacks in order, while you, my lads, get the arms together. We must have a strong watch kept. The scoundrels may try to retake the schooner." "They'd better, sir," growled Tom, who was in the act of restoring his cutlass to its sheath.
The Alvarez crowd told me to tell Garcia that even if he did succeed in getting into the Palace the Isthmian Line would drive him out of it in a week. But that if he'd go away from the country, they'd pay him fifty thousand pesos and a pension. He's got the Isthmian Line's promise in writing. "This joint attack he's planned for Wednesday night is a fake. He doesn't mean to fight.
Carbuncle. "But why?" "Because there are so many accidents. A woman should be very rich indeed before she allows herself to walk about with ten thousand pounds upon her shoulders. Suppose somebody broke into the house and stole them. And if they were sold, my dear, so that some got to Paris, and others to St. Petersburg, and others to New York, they'd have to give it up then."
Maybe they thought when they had mustered Hartley out that they'd returned another citizen to civilian life. But they hadn't more'n half finished the job. Hartley wouldn't have it that way. He'd stored up a lot of military enthusiasm that he hadn't been able to work off on draftees and departin' heroes. In fact, he was just bustin' with it.
Everything was blurred before my eyes, for it was only then that the full realisation came upon me that the man at the rudder the man who held all our lives in his hands was half-crazed. The crew nudged each other and chortled. They'd seen all this before. She was running aground heading straight for the reef, a total loss, said Hrolfur, a total loss, I tell you.
"There'll be plenty to-day, but they won't be here to see me. It's you, Ariel, and they'd be terribly disappointed if you weren't here. I shouldn't wonder if the whole town came; it's curious enough about you!" Two gentlemen, aged nine and eleven, and clad in white "sailor suits," were at that moment grooving their cheeks between the round pickets of the gate.
