He closed the valise with a snap as a heel grated on the window-ledge and George Leicester dropped into the room. "Wh ew! So that's why you couldn't hear an old friend's signal! Bolting, were you? No, no, my pretty duck pay first, if you please!" "Take it then!" Mr. Rogers swung round on him and smote him full on the jaw a neat blow and beautifully timed.
Then they carried him and flung him roughly on the floor of the library. Still screaming, Eva fled to the next room, again bolting the door and piling furniture frantically to barricade it. Again the Automaton rained blow after blow on the door. It splintered, and his powerful fist began breaking and overturning the barricade which the unfortunate girl had improvised. Wildly she looked about.
"You didn't like to come back after the bother about that watch, I suppose?" Jack let him run on. "That was partly it," he answered. "Well, then," continued Raymond, with a sneer, "you made a great mistake bolting like that; you gave yourself away completely." "I don't understand you," returned the other, with a sharper ring in his voice.
I was so excited, when I finished the tying of the tongs, that I almost forgot to take some money from the little store which I kept locked up in my trunk. A shilling would be ample, I thought; but I took rather more than that, so as to be on the safe side. I took the precaution, before leaving, of bolting my door from the inside, lest Ephraim should visit me in my absence.
General Middleton, himself a veteran soldier, expressed as I have already stated, his admiration for the bravery of all the men who were engaged. There was no bolting, even in the face of heavy fire; no shrinking, although one man in every eight had been struck by the enemy's shot or bullets.
But the very queerest part is that Philip actually likes to work and dabble in foreign politics and he flatly refused to give up his job! Isn't it romantic? Philip was always keen for adventure. Dick says you never could put your finger on a spot on the map and say comfortably, 'Philip Poynter's here! for most likely Philip Poynter was bolting furiously somewhere else!"
Thanks to the bath, he was not exuding his usual odor that comes from bolting much strong, cheap food. "Well, Lorny what's the kick?" inquired he with his amiable grin. His rise in the world never for an instant ceased to be a source of delight to him; it and a perfect digestion kept him in a good humor all the time. "I want to know," stammered Susan, "if you can't give me a little more money."
"A miss is as good as a mile," he said, "eh, Neeld? I'd like to see Addie Tristram again though I suppose she's a wreck, poor thing!" "Why couldn't she marry the man properly, instead of bolting?" asked Iver. He did not approve of such escapades.
The advice of the statesman was taken. The wise and good fools were allowed to have it their own way. The archbishop was sent for, and he came and prayed with the Queen every morning and evening; the King always graciously bolting out of the room the moment the prelate came in. But the wise and good fools were not satisfied with the concession which enlightenment had condescended to make.
Flanagan came bolting out again, with wild eyes and a sort of stupefied horror in her good, coarse, Irish features; and then, with some uncouth ejaculation, ran back, and was heard to tumble over something within, and tumble something else over in her fall, and gather herself up with a subdued howl, and subside.
