I was almost in despair, and began to doubt that, even if Malcolm was alive, he could be with them. I had just expressed my fears to Sigenok when one of the scouts came hurrying back and exhibited a tag the end of a boot-lace, such as my brother had worn. This Sigenok considered a sure sign that Malcolm was with them.
Cullingworth counted it up, and then mixing the gold and silver into one heap, he sat running his fingers through it and playing with it. Finally, he raked it into the canvas bag which I had seen the night before, and lashed the neck up with a boot-lace. We walked home, and that walk struck me as the most extraordinary part of all that extraordinary day.
As one cannot tie one's money up with a boot-lace, it is wise to carry it safely, and cheat the goatherds, who may surely make a profitable living out of the various treasures lost by Ski-ers, which appear on the slopes after the snow melts. Women need very much the same sort of clothing as men. Either trousers or breeches, whichever they prefer.
It was a stocking belonging to some bathing person which had been cast upon the island, and at the time I speak of it contained a hundred and eighty crumbs, thirty-four nuts, sixteen crusts, a pen-wiper and a boot-lace. When his stocking was full, Solomon calculated that he would be able to retire on a competency. Peter now gave him a pound. He cut it off his bank-note with a sharp stick.
I was keen about it until until I came down here." They were both silent for a while, watching a spider that was exploring Don's boot-lace. "It all seems so footless now. What I want is a house of my own, a home, I mean. I never had much of that sort of thing I'm not quite sure I knew what a home was until I saw Thornwood."
I had enough of your doctoring at the Yellow Tank blast you!" Without heeding his reminiscence, which has no connection with the present memoir, I untied an old boot-lace which fastened one of his wristbands, and drew up the sleeve.
And then it was discovered how their common observation had fastened on the boot-lace; and this vagrant article became the key to certain speculations on her condition and character. "I wish I'd had a dozen bouquets, that's all!" cried Wilfrid. "she deserved them." "Has she sentiment for what she sings? or is it only faculty?" Cornelia put it to Mr. Sumner.
You don't tell me you've persuaded mother " "I haven't said a word to her," the boy interrupted. "It isn't mumps; it's these breeches. If you can't find time to darn 'em, I'm not going to school till somebody can." The young man tittered, and the girl with a toss of her head and a glance at Parson Jack, who was pretending to tie his boot-lace accepted defeat.
But they should not have talked so loudly, for one day they were overheard by a fairy who had been gathering skeleton leaves, from which the little people weave their summer curtains, and after that Tony was a marked boy. They loosened the rails before he sat on them, so that down he came on the back of his head; they tripped him up by catching his boot-lace and bribed the ducks to sink his boat.
He took it all pretty cool; he let me have my fling, and gave me time to get breath; then he leaned languidly over on his right side, shoved his left hand down into his left trouserpocket, and brought up a boot-lace, a box of matches, and nine-and-six. As soon as I got the focus of it I gasped: "Where the deuce did you get that?"
