Two fields off, towards clustered Alayor, a man was guiding a single-handed plough drawn by a small ox and a sixteen-hand mule. Scrambling down again, I went in a bee-line across the intervening walls. The ploughman saw me coming, and nothing loath, pulled up his team and desisted from scratching the furrow any further. A chat was just the thing he wanted.
But, alas! few people understand the art of living. They strive after system, wholeness, buttons, and neglect the weightier matters of the higher law. I wonder how I got here, or how I am to get back again. I started for Fontdale, and I find myself in a mending-basket. As I know no good in tracing the same road back, we may as well strike a bee-line and begin new at Fontdale.
The dogs were again sent in, and another 'coon was started, which, like the first, "drew a bee-line" for the woods, with the dogs close behind, and the boys, worked up to the highest pitch of excitement, followed after as fast as their legs could carry them.
The other boy, with a nod, turned to make his way off. "No, by the Great Porpoise, that isn't all!" The words, shouted, with a tremendous energy behind them, caused some other hearts to bound. Jacob Farnum, his blood now boiling, found himself unable to contain himself any longer. As he shouted out, he burst through the bushes, making a bee-line for the departing boy in uniform.
I tole you 'bout that big rock in front o' the entrance an' them three lonesome trees at the foot that give you a bee-line to the rock. Well, we can git to them trees without bein' noticed an' tie our horses there an' then sneak up afoot." "Is there only the one entrance to the cave?" "Only one," answered Tom. "There's a kind o' chimney up through the rock to the top o' the hill.
Of course, on the other hand, it is quite possible that he has skipped made a bee-line for Newspaper Row. In that case, I'll see if she Miss Carstairs, you know if she knows his address in New York, and I'll hunt him up to-night." Peter, glancing at his watch, discovered that he was already fifteen minutes late for his committee meeting.
We were far from camp, and Edd was not sure of a bee-line during daylight, let alone after dark. Deep in the forest the sunset gold and red burned on grass and leaf. The aspens took most of the color. Swift-flying wisps of cloud turned pink, and low along the western horizon of the forest the light seemed golden and blue.
I'd like to smash that eye-glass for him!" "He's going down-hill fast," said the other. "He drinks steady steady." "Tiens tiens!" interposed Jean Jolicoeur, the landlord. "It is not harm to him. He drink all day, an' he walk a crack like a bee-line." "He's got the handsomest wife in this city. If I was him, I'd think more of myself," answered the Englishman. "How you think more hein?
But the moment her aunt rose from the table, she made a bee-line for the candy boxes. "It's mine, Aunt Trudy gave it to me," she insisted when her brother interfered. "Two apiece, of such rich candy, is enough for any one," he declared. "And one for Shirley take the kind you want, sweetheart, and then I'll show you where I am going to keep them for you."
Here I lay and watched him; but after some little time he evidently suspected my presence, for rising to his feet, he looked straight in my direction and then proceeded to walk round me in a half-circle. The moment he got wind of me, he whipped round in his tracks like a cat and came for me in a bee-line.
