To begin with, only a single bird had seen something buried there, and, being unable to keep a secret like a human being, had shouted it abroad. Then Axel roused himself from his apathy, and waited for an opportunity to steal out to the spot. He found the thing under a heap of moss and twigs, kept down by flat stones, and wrapped in a cloth, in a piece of rag.
And then a cry comes down, and she nods; Axel, maybe, or maybe the hill-folk, devils anyway, something to sniff and scent and find to worm out the meaning of it all, the wisdom of the Almighty with the dark and the forest in the hollow of His hand and He would never harm Oline, that was not worthy to unloose the latchet of His shoes.... And there she stands. The ax?
"We have not been very successful," said Hardy, quietly taking down his rod. "A knowledge of the habits of the fish in different rivers, and a knowledge of the rivers is necessary, and this an intimate acquaintance only gives." "Yes, but, father," put in Kari, "Herr Hardy has caught a lot; he would not let us keep the small ones, but kept eight of the biggest. Axel has ran on with them.
And when we got out into the harbour, I threw it overboard." Axel sat dark and silent, but she went on. It was a long time back now, many years, the time she had first come to Maaneland. So, there, he could see 'twas not everything was found out, not by a long way! What would things be like if everything folk did got out? What about all the married people in the towns and the things they did?
After an unsuccessful attempt to surprise Gravelines, the governor of which place, the veteran La Motte, was not so easily taken napping; Sir Philip having gained much reputation by this conquest of Axel, then joined the main body of the army, under Leicester, at Arnheim. Yet, after all, Sir Philip had not grown in favour with her Majesty during his service in the Low Countries.
At the same moment we reached the sand on the shore, and the waves were by slow degrees encroaching on the shore. "Here is the tide rising," I cried. "Yes, Axel; and judging by these ridges of foam, you may observe that the sea will rise about twelve feet." "This is wonderful," I said. "No; it is quite natural."
The Complete Angler. John Hardy had tied a couple of casting lines with the flies he usually fished with on the Gudenaa, and came down a little before three the next day. Karl and Axel yet slept, but their sister called them, and after the accustomed cup of coffee and rusks they went out to fish on the Gudenaa.
The expedition had been planned by Prince Maurice of Nassau, and was his. earliest military achievement. He proposed carrying by surprise, the city of Axel, a well-built, strongly-fortified town on the south-western edge of the great Scheldt estuary, and very important from its position.
"Why, you know it is," says she. Axel stares foolishly at her. Slow of thought as he is, he sits there counting for a bit: one week, two weeks, getting on the third week.... "Nay, how I should know...." says he.
Sholto, the hunchback, was below, and he let them out without a word, closing and barring the door carefully behind them. Once in the street and under the misty moonlight, Pasquin Leroy nodded a careless dismissal to his companions. "You will return alone?" enquired Max Graub. "Quite alone!" was the reply. "May I not follow you at a distance?" asked Axel Regor. Leroy smiled. "You forget!
