"The prettiest child I ever saw, Mr Vavasor!" said Mr Tombe, and then he coughed violently. Some people who knew Mr Tombe declared that he nursed his cough. "I dare say," said George. "Yes, indeed, ugh ugh ugh." "Can you tell me, Mr Tombe, whether either you or he have anything to do with the payment of certain sums to my credit at Messrs Hock and Block's?"
If Society is to subsist, it must have the human with the logical argument against the cry of the free-flags, instead of presenting a block's obtuseness. That, you need not hesitate to believe, will be rolled downward and disintegrated, sooner than later. A Society based on the logical concrete of humane considerateness: a Society prohibiting to Mrs. Burman her wielding of a life-long rod....
"But we have no belongings," said Hal quietly. "We could not be bothered with excess baggage." "Then I shall see that you are supplied with necessary articles," said his hostess. "The success of your mission will necessitate it. At any rate," she said, turning again to her daughter, "you will send a car for Herr Block's friends." The girl nodded and left the room.
They had always seemed outside her life. Virginia had never lived in the shadow of Fear, that greatest and most potent of realities. In truth she didn't know the meaning of the word. She had been afraid in her bed at night, she had been apprehensive of a block's walk in the twilight, but Fear in its true sense was an alien and a stranger.
Thus we were sitting one morning with our summing-slates and grammars before us when the door in the screen opens and Mr. Maskew enters. I have told you already of the verses which Mr. Glennie wrote for David Block's grave; and when the floods had gone down Ratsey set up the headstone with the poetry carved on it.
And even these lawyer chaps know not where the right stands, for Maskew never paid a rent and died before he took possession; and Master Block's term is long expired, and now he is in hiding and an outlaw. 'But I am sorriest for Maskew's girl, who grows thin and pale as any lily.
Little Alec was found in the lobby, right enough, and properly primed in the bar next door, and he described very vigorously, the disgust of Block's brother-in-law over the lemon the astute partners had sold him; for real money, too. But not a word did little Alec offer about Rose.
I do not care to come triumphant out iv this ordeel an' repoort other cases f'r th' newspa-apers. All I ask is a block's start an' some wan holdin' th' polisman's coattails. I waive me right to be thried be an incorruptible, fair, an' onprejudiced Judge. Give me wan that's onfair an' prejudiced an' that ye can slip somethin' to.
"Aye, aye, sir, and with a hearty good will!" called back Rogers, as both sailors started in full chase. In the nature of timings it could not be a long chase, for Ensign Dave Darrin was a swift runner, of many years' training. Rogers, slim and lithe, was also an excellent runner. Less than a block's distance, and Darrin had gripped the fleeing Mexican by the collar.
Then someone saw under the flap of his waistcoat that same silver-hafted pistol that lay so lately next the lease of the Why Not? and snatching it from him, flung it on the grass at Block's feet. But Elzevir's deep voice mastered their contentions 'Lads, ye remember how I said when this man's reckoning day should come 'twas I would reckon with him, and had your promise to it.
