I'll kill him if he tries!" "You idiot!" began Merode, and made a lurch toward her. But the pistol barked and something white-hot zig-zagged along his arm and bit like a flame into his shoulder. "Up with your hands up with them!" she said in a voice that shook with excitement as he howled out and made a reeling backward step. "Next time it will be the head I aim at, not the arm!"
She sat in a great chair by the fire-corner; in her lap was a spaniel-dog that barked furiously; on a little table by her was her ladyship's snuff-box and her sugar-plum box. She wore a dress of black velvet, and a petticoat of flame-coloured brocade.
After approaching just near enough to see the countenances of the party on shore, and to be barked at lustily by the dog, they turned the boat's head again toward the offing. "A pleasant voyage, gentlemen," cried the clear voice of the little girl. They waved their hats in return; and then saw her run to the dog and take him by the forelegs. "Play, Nanina," they heard her say.
Yet he would have passed on, respecting her privacy of sorrow, had not her little spaniel detected him with her keener senses. And Fluffy being truthful as dogs are and recognizing a dear friend in the intruder, barked joyously. The widow looked up, her eyes met Blair's, and she reddened.
Then, all of a sudden, along came Percival, the kind old circus dog, and he barked at that fox, and nipped his tail and the fox ran away, and Kittie and Bully were then safe. Bully came off the log, and Kittie came down out of the tree and they both went on home after thanking Percival most kindly.
Presently the dog barked, steps approached; Uarda lifted herself up and said: "Grandmother, it is the priest Pentaur." "Who told you?" asked the old woman. "I know it," answered the girl decidedly, and in a few moments a sonorous voice cried: "Good day to you. How is your invalid?" Pentaur was soon standing by Uarda; pleased to hear Nebsecht's good report, and with the sweet face of the girl.
I believe I'm mad now; and I was just telling myself that it was another of the dreams I had while I was so bad from this chop on the head; and that I had only fancied I saw you two shooting, when old Bruff barked and came out." "You've been wounded then?" "Yes, sir, badly, and off my chump." "But how?"
Spike heard a hurried whispered conversation at the other end, then the voice barked back at him: "Stay where you are couple of officers coming, and coming fast!" It was Dan O'Leary, night desk sergeant, who was on duty at headquarters that night, and Sergeant Dan O'Leary was a good deal of an institution on the city's force.
"Stay in that closet and do as I tell you." Inside the closet, Sinclair kicked a pail out of the way and barked, "Remove the loose plank in the floor and drop it on the floor." Tom felt around until he found the loose board and lifted it up. "What's down there?" asked Roger. "You'll see," said Sinclair. "Now step back, both of you!"
While engaged in this interesting survey, the clatter of hoofs was suddenly heard upon the rough pavement, a bell rang, a dog barked, the pigs grunted, the hostler ran out, and the stranger, whom our hero had before met on the road, trotted into the yard.
