But the nervousness was general: Italians had never yet met German troops in battle, save perhaps in small encounters with diminutive units in Macedonia, and some consternation was created when, about the middle of October, it was ascertained that there were German divisions on the Italian front; and presently popular imagination magnified Von Buelow's thirteen divisions into the combined weight of the Central Empires, with Mackensen at its head as a bogey-man.
"In the mere matter of time, yes! and of place too," he laughed." For you turned me out of my rooms." "Do you mean to say you are the Bogey-Man?" "Well, no one ever called me so to my face before, but I'm bound to say I've felt uncommonly like one for the past four or five weeks." "Come with me," she said hastily.
"Come quickly," the people shouted at his door. "Your bogey-man is trying to get into the synagogue." Rabbi Lion rushed out in a state of alarm. The monster had slipped from the house and was battering down the door of the synagogue. "What art thou doing?" demanded the rabbi, sternly. "Trying to get into the synagogue to destroy the scrolls of the Holy Law," answered the monster.
The machinery of the Mafia is in motion, they will perjure witnesses, they will spend money in any quantity to convict my poor Paolo. Heaven knows what the result will be." "And where does this bogey-man enter this Belisario Cardi?" "I have had a letter from him." "Really?" "It is in the hands of the carabinieri, hence this journey of my friend, Colonel Neri, from Messina."
When Jamie said, "Be a bear, Diddy," or "Be a bogey-man," Elizabeth would go down on her knees and growl and roar, or pull her hair over her face, make goggle-eyes, and hop madly about until the little brother was screaming with ecstatic terror.
"It's not the Danish gun-boat I'm afraid of; it's the fatherly English cruiser a-turning of us back." Darkness, however, found them unmolested. They crossed the three-mile limit at eight o'clock, and crept close in under the Danish headlands without a glimmer of light showing. "I want all hands all night," said Weeks; "and there's a couple of pounds for him as first see the bogey-man."
And yet it was out of this same bogey-man, so cold-bloodedly shaken off, that at a later stage a personality with whom there was no jesting developed, one who was not to be thrust aside in the same way, a personality for whom you felt both fear and trembling the Devil himself. But it was only later that he revealed himself to my ken. It was not he who succeeded first to the bogey-man.
He showed her a door in the eastern wall that was draped by a heavy red curtain. "You can get up on to the ramparts that way. But wait a minute while I find the switch! What are you running away from? There isn't a bogey-man anywhere." Toby drew in her breath sharply with a nervous glance over her shoulder. "I think it's a dreadful place," she said. "I want to get out into the air."
The scent of the pipe was lingering still in the forecourt when the ladies turned in out of the road, and they just caught a glimpse of the smoker disappearing through the gap in the hedge. "Ah-ha! There goes the Bogey-Man!" said Miss Hen. "Does this dear little dog carry on this way all through the night, Mrs. Carré?"
And that evening John Burke brought the sunshine. "Helen, you seem tired," John said as I met him at the door at first I peeped out from behind it, I remember, as if I feared the bogey-man "Have you been too hard at work?" "I've been out all the afternoon," I said, "and I suppose I am rather tired, but it was pleasant and warm; and I wore a veil."
