Helb!" she called. "Helb bring. Mein Gott in himmel, helb!" No answer came from the silent camp. "Ees it for dis, den, I haf to you come?" she cried, addressing the circle of mountains shimmering in opalescent light. Far down from the valley below came the long clear note of a bugle, probably of some coaching party.
"I beg your pardon, gentlemen," he said in a voice loud enough to be heard by everybody, "is this Sunrise Camp?" Phoebe gazed at the newcomer as if she were seeing a visitor from heaven. All the women in the gallery experienced enormous sensations of relief and Alberdina smiled down at him broadly. "Mein lieber Gott, helb has gome already yet," she exclaimed.
But to her horror and astonishment, when Alberdina made an effort to rise from the low, easy chair, she could not move. She had been bound to the chair with a stout rope, the clothes line in fact. Each fat red hand was secured to an arm of the chair, her feet tied together and her body strapped to the seat and back. Alberdina groaned and her stupid eyes became humid with terror. "Helb!
Helb yourself, mine Freund, und den gif me der key back." "Ye addie-pated son of sin!" Mr. Reardon soliloquized as he took the key and departed. "Faith, a booby birrd has more sinse nor you! D'ye suppose I didn't wait until ye were on djooty before axin' ye, well knowin' ye'd lind me the key an' I'd be alone in yer shtore-room!" Mr. Reardon was in the store-room less than two minutes.
Id was only a few weeks ago thad I read of the workmen of a cerdain firm bresending their employers with a full week's work free, in order to helb the firm out of their beguniary diffiguldies. Now, they, I admid, were fine, noble, sensible fellows; they had indelligence enough to regognize the diffiguldies of the siduation, and do grabble with them in a sensible way.
Alberdina opened her eyes. "Helb! Helb! I asg you helb!" she called. The music stopped instantly and a man, tall, slender, with an indescribably distinguished air, approached, carrying the zither under his arm. "You called?" he asked courteously. Alberdina burst into a torrent of excited German. She rolled her prominent eyes to indicate her bonds.
Then, biff! out flashes one of her long arms, and the next thing Bloom knows his silk lid has been smashed down over his eyes. "Helb! Helb!" he squeals. "Bolice! I vill ged the bolice after you." With that he makes a break past her and goes waddlin' downstairs on the run. "Now I've done it, I reckon," says the young woman. "And that about finishes us, Timothy dear. He's after a cop."
"Allow me to helb you, sir a bit of sausage?" cried Elias, seizing a knife and presenting it at the dish in question. The Emîr laughed again, which was the signal for an obsequious roar. He said he would prefer some bread and anchovy, and could help himself. He accepted a little of the rum for politeness' sake, and then professed himself satisfied.
"Yes, sir, he tell me, and I'm goin' to helb you all I can. Trust Elias, sir, he knows his way about!" "Well," said the Emîr after a little meditation, "I feel inclined for the adventure, provided always that it doesn't cost too much." "We soon see what that's a-going to cost."
