"After all, if I stop in England," said he, "I can't afford to lose my position in society; anything's better than that an unmitigated low scoundrel like Sedgett should bag the game." Besides, is it not somewhat sceptical to suppose that when Fate decides, she has not weighed the scales, and decided for the best?
"But then almost anything's likely to happen in Oz." "If these lanterns don't look out something will happen. I'll break 'em to bits," growled the Cowardly Lion, who had been dodging half a dozen at once. "How would we look out?" sniffed one, flying at Dorothy. "You could light out or go out," giggled the little girl.
How do they work?" he asked her, examining the little contrivance lingeringly. "They're working pretty well," she told him, "even the way they are a good deal too long, and with that slot not cut deep enough, I'm right proud of myself when I look at them. Any boy or girl tending a frame can go to the end of it and see if anything's the matter without walking plumb down.
"Wouldn't that jar you?" he finally exploded, "we jest can't load our crate with the bally stuff, 'cause it couldn't lift a tenth o' the cargo we grabbed so easy-like. An' as to towin' the sloop after us by a hawser, it'd be too much like a caterpiller creepin' along. I own up it's got me buffaloed. Jack, an' if anything's goin' to be done it's bound to come out o' your own coco."
You've been seeking to keep her shroud wet. But it's no matter. Let her go. Earth to earth, and dust to dust! the law of Nature and Art too. Exit into the house. Col. Here he comes again, thank God! Catches up a coat, and begins brushing it. Re-enter GER. Ger. I don't like to see you doing that. Col. G. Why shouldn't I serve my own superior, sir? Anything's better than serving yourself.
A chain for her, a Spear for him she said quietly: "I like taking care of you, Louis. I'm not thinking of myself at all. Only I can't help wishing you'd got pneumonia, or a broken leg or something, so that you could stay in bed sort of honourably." "It's worth while, if I get better, isn't it, my pet?" he said, slowly. "Anything's worth while if you get better," she said.
They wait till Martin goes to bed at twelve-thirty; then they just walk into the library, and begin to sample the whisky first thing. Now suppose Manderson isn't asleep, and suppose they make a noise opening the window, or however it might be. He hears it; thinks of burglars; gets up very quietly to see if anything's wrong; creeps down on them, perhaps, just as they're getting ready for work.
"I wish you'd be careful," I urged. "I heard it too." "My dear Bunny, it's on the knees you wot of. If anything's down in the specifications surely that is. Besides that was nearer!" "To you?" "No, to him. Poor devil, he has his specifications too; it's comforting to think that.... I can't see where that one pitched; it may have been a wide; and it's very nearly the end of the over again.
Oh, I was hurt! And you I can tell at once when anything's wrong with you I know without your saying it." He was amazed, he might indeed have been troubled and even alarmed by this passion he had aroused had his own passion not been at the flood.
Anything's better than loutishness. Well! the lesson 'll come. He continued. He spoke as he thought: he was not speaking what he was thinking. His mind was directed on the visit of Aminta to Lady de Culme, and the tolerably wonderful twist whereby Mrs. Lawrence Finchley had vowed herself to his girl's interests.
