Scotty tied the boat to a projecting root while Rick took the equipment from its place under the seat and put it within reach on the forward deck, then jumped ashore. His feet hit apparently solid ground, but kept right on going down into a foot of ooze. He lifted one foot that was a black blob of mud, tried to locate more solid footing on which to place it, and gave it up as a bad job.
He discovered that an oilskin coat is a miserably inefficient protection in a small boat. Not that the seas came through it. That does not happen. But while he made a grab at the flying foresail sheet a green blob of a wave would rush up his sleeve and soak him elbow high.
"I've sure put the fear of the Lord into you, haven't I, Buck?" Ward observed maliciously, wiping a blob of hairy lather upon a page torn from an old Sears-Roebuck catalogue. "I was kinda hoping you had more nerve. I wanted to get a whack at you, just to prove I'm not joshing." Buck swallowed again, but he made no reply.
The dormer made a patch of diamond light in the dead of the wall, and the chill of dawn sharpened the air. Blob was bending over him. "Nelson's a-comin," he announced, much as he might have said breakfast was in. Kit looked up into the round pink face, fresh as a daisy, and dewy- eyed above him. "No!" he cried, and started to his elbow.
"You are very skilful; but to-day, if you will allow me, I will partake of something a little simpler." The Frenchman helped; and, being so happy, in cors, spilt the gravy. A great blob of brown sos spurted on to master's chick, and myandrewed down his shert-collar and virging-white weskit. "Confound you!" says he, "M. de l'Orge, you have done this on purpose."
"I don't know your name," said the Victor of the Nile with grave courtesy. "But I may shake you by the hand?" "Ye'," said Blob, mouth and eyes round. "Thank you," said the hero, taking the other's limp paw. "I am Lord Nelson." "Ah," said Blob. "O'im Blob Oad what killed Nabowlin Bownabaardie." "You've saved me a lot o trouble," replied Nelson, grave but for his twinkling eye.
If the lobes are attached to the cheekbones and there is a pronounced blob in the fold at the top, I address the man instantly as Dawson, however impossibly unlike Dawson he may be. I have spotted him twice now since he bowled me out, and he is frightfully savage especially as I won't tell him how the trick is done.
Sometimes they passed things, too another lump of sugar, more drops of honey, a thick blob of clotted cream as well. It was obvious to them that somebody occupied that chair, so real, indeed, that Uncle Felix found himself passing things and making observations about the weather and even arranging a few crumbs of bread in a row beside the other delicacies.
So the king sent as he was told, and the fish was caught and brought in, and he gave it to the cook, and bade her put it before the fire, but to be careful with it, and not to let any blob or blister rise on it.
'Yer father winna ate a moufu' gien ye dinna: ye'll see that! Eh, Steenie, she broke out, 'gien ye wad but tak yer supper and gang to yer bed like the lave o' 's! It gars my hert swall as gien 't wud burst like a blob to think o' ye oot i' tho mirk nicht! Wha's to tell what michtna be happenin ye!
