Despite Jean's frequent admonitions that they "mus' 'urry," it was fully fifteen minutes before either he or David returned to the wan, but happy-faced figure by the fire. Man-like, not one of the three made any allusion to the letter which was now tucked away in one of Tom's coat pockets.
"I 'ave me faults, none knows better than meself," said Joe humbly, "but thinkin' of them won't fill me belly on a night like this." "Now look 'ere," said Jonah, "I'm in a 'urry. I won't give yer any money, but if ye're 'ungry, come across the street, an' I'll buy yer a meal." Joe hesitated, but the thought of good money being wasted on food was too much for him, and he played his last card.
"'Ello, Ada, w'ere you goin'?" he inquired, with a facetious grin. "Cum 'ere, I want ter talk ter yer." The fat girl stopped and laughed. "Can't I'm in a 'urry," she replied. "Well, kin I cum wid yer?" he asked, with another grin. "Not wi' that face, Chook," she answered, laughing. "None o' yer lip, now, or I'll tell Jonah wot yer were doin' last night," said Chook.
In a voice more than commonly rich with accent, Sturm demanded sharply: "What is this? I do not understand!" He shook in Nogam's face the half-sheet of notepaper on which the Chinese phonograms were drawn. "Sorry, sir, but I 'aven't any hidea. Prince Victor didn't tell me anything except there would be no answer, and I was to 'urry right back to Frampton Court."
She must have been yards and yards round, and before she had time to be in the rage that we saw she was getting into, Alice said "Oh, I beg your pardon! I am so sorry, but we really didn't mean to! I do so hope we didn't hurt you!" We saw the growing rage fade away, and she said, as soon as she got her fat breath "No 'arm done, my little dear. An' w'ere are you off to in such a 'urry?"
"I got a letter for you, missis," said Micky. "Sure it ain't for somebody else? Let's have a look at it." "No 'urry! Tork it over first that's my marxim! Look ye here. Miss Juliar, this is my way of putting of it. Here's three-halfpence, over the beer. Here's the corner of the letter, stickin' out of my porket. Now which'll you have, the letter or the three-halfpence? Make your ch'ice.
"But my particular copy of the Times is specially pro'ibited by the censor from corruptin' the morals of the Army. Get a written order from K. o' K., properly countersigned, an' I'll think about it." "I've got all you want," said Jenkins. "'Urry up. I want to 'ave a squint myself." Something gurgled in the darkness, and Private Copper fell back smacking his lips.
Starting from Dunkeld at midnight, April 3, he was at Dundee next morning, took the town by storm, and set fire to it in several places. But lo! while his Highlanders and Irish were ranging through the town, still burning and plundering, and most of them madly drunk with the liquors they had found, Baillie and Urry, who had not crossed the Tay after all, were not a mile off.
We expected satisfaction. There is nothing in the world but second bests, but dreams are an excellent second best. Our last attitude must be 'How interesting, but how very far from what I wanted...." The speed of time, and the hurry of life suddenly rushed upon her again. "I must hurry," she said. "Or I shan't have lived before I die. I must hurry." "No 'urry, Jine," said Mrs. Love.
I was never so happy as when I'd got real work to do; 'twas better to me than play. You shall dust your own room presently, if you like." "Shall I? Oh, that will be nice." Esther was on her feet in a moment, all her melancholy gone. "Where shall I find a duster, Anna?" "Don't be in too much of a 'urry, Miss Esther. I reckon you wouldn't feel so pleased if you'd got to do it," added Anna, laughing.
