"I was a-watching for the fat spotted one which ran across yesterday, when out came creeping, creeping, two others" the child with his fingers on the floor suited his action to his words, "and one had some white on its back; it looked old and weak; and Bob, I saw as how it was blind." "A blind rat!" cried Bob; "'twould soon starve, I take it."
But no more shots came, nor could they locate that which had been fired. "One thing is certain, at least one of yer enemies is a-watching of us," was the old miner's comment. "We'll keep behind shelter after this." And they did. It was hard traveling, and poor Sam was utterly worn out by the time the trail along the watercourse was again reached. "I've got to let up a bit," he murmured.
So he arose without stay or delay and entering a closet, fell a-watching what she should do. She continued her fumigations and conjurations till the sea foamed and frothed turbid and there rose from it a handsome young man of a bright favour, as he were the moon at its full, with brow flower-white, cheeks of ruddy light and teeth like the marguerite.
"But wait a bit, my fine fellows, and you shall see what you shall see. Pass that there basket, Mas' Don. Ah! That's a good bait for my gentleman. Look at 'em. I can see three peeping out of the bushes. They're a-watching to see what I'm going to do." "Three! I can see four, Jem." "More for me to ketch, Mas' Don. Wonder whether they're good to eat? I say, do you think they can understand English?"
"Hallelulia; keep a-looking; Hallelulia, my men; Hallelulia; keep a-watching! Must I tell you again?" "Oh, why can't I hole out on each green in two? Because we all find that a hard thing to do." "Hallelulia; grasp your putter Hallelulia, again, Hallelulia; hit it harder! Never up, never in!" It was a great occasion, but I have things to narrate which are of much more import.
The whole while that Doña Maria was abed with her lover, her nurse Lucia would stand a-watching at the chamber door, telling of her beads and trembling sore lest the Prince perchance should return home against all expectation. 'Twas indeed a nobleman mightily feared by reason of his jealous and grim humour.
"Well, Corporal, what of them?" "Sir, they're a-waiting for you!" "Are you sure, Corporal? A poor creature committed suicide to-day; I thought they were here on that account." "No, sir, that was only a blind, they're a-watching and a-waiting to take you for the Gaunt murder. My pal Jarsper knows, and my pal Jarsper sent me here to give you the office to lay low and not to venture out to-night."
And here is the British mouse in a hole and won't come out, and our serious old cat a-watching. Lord, the patience of the man! Come over and see us soon, Mr. Warder, and you too, Wynne." "I wish Miss Darthea had the letter. But she never can have it now," said I. "Hardly," says Jack, blushing sweetly. I think the garters were on his mind.
"Never knowed there was a knot-hole, Mart'n," said he in the same hushed voice and staring at the thing, "and as for Cap'n Adam he aren't been anigh you this two days. But 'tis all one, pal, all one this ship do be haunted. And as for eyes a-watching of ye, Martin, who should it be but this here ghost as walketh the ship o'nights and makes away wi' good men." "How d'ye mean?"
On the first night this had happened; for, awaking and missing the Sagamore, who had been left on guard, I lay a-watching under my blanket, and when he came in to the fire once more, it seemed to me that far in the woods I heard the faint sound of another person retiring stealthily through the tell-tale bushes that choke all second growth hereabouts.
