"I didn't know " he began, and broke off. He caught my arm. "Oh, Jessop!" he exclaimed. "What's going to be the end of it all? Surely something can be done?" I said nothing. I had a desperate feeling that there was very little we could do to help ourselves. "Can't we do something?" he asked, and shook my arm. "Anything's better than this! We're being murdered!"
After the meal was over Peter and the Seneca chief went upstairs, looked through the loop-holes, and talked long and earnestly together; then they rejoined the party below. "The chief and I are of opinion," Peter said to Harold, "that it are of no manner of use our waiting to be attacked here. They'd burn us out to a sartinty; we should have no show of a fight at all. Anything's better than that.
"I wonder if anything's the mater with my horse?" said Eliph'. "Matter?" laughed Jim Wilkins. "That's just S. Potts tryin' to show off before strangers, like he always does. He don't mean no harm, but he can't be satisfied to just come around and git a horse and lead it to the stable. He's got to draw attention to hisself or he ain't happy.
Am I not the wife of my husband?" "There is a way out of every position. We must take our line," he said. "Anything's better than the position in which you're living. Of course, I see how you torture yourself over everything the world and your son and your husband." "Oh, not over my husband," she said, with a quiet smile. "I don't know him, I don't think of him. He doesn't exist."
But then their minds were intent upon the business ahead and their outlook was darkened. "Would you like me to come up with you, Charles?" Graeme asked, as the steamer rounded the breakwater. "Yes, I'd like it," said Charles gloomily. "But I think I'd better go alone. I don't believe anything's going to come of it." "I'm afraid not as far as we're concerned.
"Oh, we did have a little bobble off Hatteras just a bobble." "Huh!" says I. "I don't expect you'd admit anything's happenin' until a boat begins to turn flip-flops. Do you know, Rupert, there's times when you make me sad in the spine. Honest, now, you didn't invent the ocean, did you?" But Rupert just stares haughty and walks off.
John Phillips, Glasgow. Chisholm drew me out of the hotel where we had heard all this and pulled the scrap of bill-head from his pocket-book. "Now that we've got the name to go on," said he, "we'll send a wire to this address in Dundee asking if anything's known there of Mr. John Phillips. And we'll have the reply sent to Berwick it'll be waiting us when we get back this morning."
Do you wish me to speak of you to the Spences or not?" He still kept looking about the room. Perhaps upon him too the baleful southern wind was exercising its influence, for he sat listlessly when he was not speaking, and had a weary look. "You may speak of me or not, as you like. I don't see that anything's to be gained by my meeting them; but I'll do just as you please."
"Now, look ye here, Master Fred," cried Samson, appealingly, "what's the good of your bullying me into saying things which will only make you cross with me, and call me a thundering idiot, or some other pretty thing like that?" "But anything's better than suspense, and I want to know the worst." "Well, then, you can't," said Samson, gruffly. "There aren't no worse, because it's all guessing."
Maybe I wouldn't have liked it, if I'd had to study on a hard bench in a stuffy room with the world shut out, and a lid put on my voice but anything's good that's got a mother in it. And tell these gentlemen you're sorry for punching that boy." "Sorr'," muttered Jakey shamefacedly. "I am glad to hear it," Abbott exclaimed heartily. "You can take your cap to go, Jakey."
