"I followed the gossiping warder to the armory. It was a great dusty hall, hung round with Gothic-looking portraits, of a stark line of warriors, each with his weapon, and the weapons of those he had slain in battle, hung beside his picture. He was represented at full-length, armed cap-a-pie, and grasping a huge buckler, on which were emblazoned three lions passant.
So he received the ambassadors gladly, and made them a feast, and showed them his treasures, and his armory, and the other wealth he was possessed of, in precious stones and in gold, and gave them presents to be carried to Baladan, and sent them back to him.
On the evening when Ridge decided to take his departure for the seat of war he was driven into the city by his father, who set him down near the armory of the regiment in which he had been offered a lieutenant's commission for a consideration. "I don't want you to tell me where you are going, son," said Mr.
"Beyond a doubt." "They could not have done it without big backing somewhere." "They've had it. They've had plenty of money. They have rifles of the finest make. And they're not the type made in this Arsenal." "They expected to use the rifles in the Armory, of course. And they expect reinforcements. Any sign of their reserves?" "Not yet, sir. We have the roads guarded for ten miles."
I accordingly sprang up the stair-case, three steps at a time, stopped at the door of the armory, and peeped cautiously in. The two Gothic figures were no longer in the chimney corners, but I neglected to notice whether they had reascended to their frames.
I have not a very distinct idea of the Tower, but remember that our cab drove within an outer gate, where we alighted at a ticket-office; the old royal fortress being now a regular show-place, at sixpence a head, including the sight of armory and crown-jewels.
Bulger with a cutlass sprang to one side, and Toley ranged himself on the other. Hossain had joined the two boatmen at the companionway; all had brought out pistols from the folds of their clothing, and the companionway commanded access to the ship's armory. Barker, who had grown purple at the sight of Bulger, now turned a sickly white.
The time has come to think about leaving this place." He had all of her attention now, and Mikah's as well, "How is this?" she gasped. "I have been making my plans, I have enough files and lockpicks now to crack into every room in this place, a few weapons, the key to the armory and every able bodied slave on my side." "What do you plan to do?" Mikah asked.
But, as I have before shown, he was not a man to vent his spleen in idle vaporing. His first measure, after the paroxysm of wrath had subsided, was to stump upstairs to a huge wooden chest which served as his armory, from whence he drew forth that identical suit of regimentals described in the preceding chapter.
"We shall find out!" exclaimed the little boys, who were filled with delight, looking now out of one window, now out of the other. "Perhaps we shall go to the armory," said one. This alarmed Mrs. Peterkin. Sounds of martial music were now heard, and the noise of the crowd grew louder. "I think you ought to ask where we are going," she said to Mr. Peterkin.
