Just then the submarine veered off her straight course somewhat to extend her open water run for two or three miles up the edge of the field. A length view showed her to be a delicate looking craft. Her sharp prow cut the water with hardly a ripple, in sharp contrast to the Vulcan, which shouldered up a waterfall as she lunged forward. Suddenly, and rather unexpectedly, the submarine porpoised.
"Don't you get saucy!" warned Fred, edging in closer. Bert Dodge veered around so that be could attack Dick from one side. "It would be honoring you too much to talk to you in any vein," Dick retorted sarcastically. "You're a pair of the most worthless rowdies in Gridley." "Go for him, Bert!" called Ripley. "Why don't you?" sneered Dick, making a leap forward, straight at Ripley.
"They were waiting for our boat, with no sign of hostility until Mr. Falk saw the sunlight strike on a gun-barrel that was intended to be hidden behind the bulwark. As the boat veered away, the man with the gun started to fire, but another prevented him, probably because the distance was so great." Instantly there was wild activity on the Island Princess.
Crow suddenly veered off his straight course and alighted in a tree. "That will never do," he croaked. "Fatty would eat more than all the Meadow Mice in Pleasant Valley." Little did Mr. Crow know that Fatty Coon was already planning to visit the cornfield as soon as it grew dark. Nor did Master Meadow Mouse and his cousins guess that they were to have an unwelcome guest that night.
Doria rejected him for the first time, the reputation of being a fool which a wealthy man may have in his youth; but as he lived on, and did not squander his money amassed it, on the contrary, and did not seek to go into Parliament, and did other negative wise things, the world's opinion, as usual, veered completely round, and John Todhunter was esteemed a shrewd, sensible man only not brilliant; that he was brilliant could not be said of him.
"'What's the row? I said, none too gentle. She gave a start, seemed to come out of her trance, and opened her eyes. Say! They were big and black and beautiful. Believe me, she was some looker- " "The hussy!" At which hiss the two mud-hens veered away a few feet. But Jones was getting himself in hand, and didn't even blink. "'What are you stopping this locomotive for? I demanded in Spanish.
Rising to his feet Sam seized the megaphone and called in his loudest tones, "Don't you try that! We shall ram you if you do. Keep to your own course and we'll keep to ours." Whether it was Sam's demand or not will never be known, but the course of the Varmint II veered slightly and almost before the boys were aware of the change which had occurred they were side by side with their rival.
For, after all, the harm was done; Sam Wright was dead. She was his murderer, she reminded herself, sullenly, but nothing like that could ever happen again, so why should she not take what poor happiness she could get? Of course this acceptance of the situation veered every day in gusts of misery and terror; but, on the whole, the desire for peace prevailed.
Bessie Lonsdale looked up, and saw that those fleecy, light-gray clouds which she had seen in the sky early that morning as she stood waiting for Ayling in the garden of the inn, and which had been gathering all day, hung now black and menacing just above her head. It descended upon them suddenly; torrents ran in the road. The wind veered, and sent great gusts of rain into the car.
A minute, another then Standing Buffalo bent his knees, drew and shot. But the arrow veered a trifle from its intended course. The Squaw drew. The cord sang. The shaft whistled to its mark. It drove the chief backward a few paces like a wounded buck. Then, stopping himself with effort, he lurched forward again.
