The nearness to losing lives didn't seem to be worrying anybody. For myself, I was somewhat worked up. There was one time in the water when I thought I was gone. So I went on deck after the skipper. It was a black night and breezing all the time and I wanted to see how the vessel behaved.
The following morning, Mr. Leffingwell's car, crowded with the whole family, was the first to arrive at the station. The Potter boys wandered restlessly about until Colonel Bright, followed by his wife and daughter and a Japanese house-man loaded with rugs and bags, came breezing in with a hearty greeting for everybody. Mr. Leffingwell bustled about, tipping everybody he could find to tip.
I'm lonely for the noise and the rush and the hard work; for a glimpse of the busy local room just before press time, when the lights are swimming in a smoky haze, and the big presses downstairs are thundering their warning to hurry, and the men are breezing in from their runs with the grist of news that will be ground finer and finer as it passes through the mill of copy-readers' and editors' hands.
No one accepted his offer, and he went on: "In which event, I'll lay ten to one there's trouble breezing up." "No, thank you," Latimer spoke up. "I don't object to losing my money, but I like to get a run for it anyway. There never was a time when there wasn't trouble when you and that brother of yours got together, and I'll lay twenty to one on that."
By the time she arrived at Washington and went breezing in to call upon a certain dignified young Secretary, the transformation was complete. She might not have been put together strictly according to mode, but she was learning rapidly, and willing to learn more rapidly.
"I'm sure...." Lanyard began as Crane entered, breezing through the turnstile and comprehending the situation in a glance. "Hello!" he cried. "Didn't I tell you everybody alive would be here?" Nor was Cecelia Brooke less ready. "But fancy meeting Mr. Ember here! I had no idea he was in New York had you?" "Perhaps a dim suspicion," Crane admitted with a twinkle, taking Lanyard's hand.
A little later again, Trigger suddenly shifted her shoulder uneasily, frowned and made a little half-angry, half-whimpering cry. Then her face smoothed out. Her breathing grew quiet and slow. Major Heslet Quillan of the Subspace Engineers came breezing into Manon Planet's spaceport very early in the morning.
"Aren't we to wait until Daddy Neil comes back?" "Not unless he gets back before three bells and it looks doubtful, two have already struck. But you'll learn the news the first thing in the morning." But at that moment Captain Stewart came breezing into the room. Peggy and Polly flew to him crying: "Did he say yes? Did he say yes? Oh, answer, quick! Do!" they begged, each clasping arms about him.
Handsomely, handsomely, master, cried the steward: I have just drove a nail into a berth alongside of this here bolt, as a stopper, dye see, so that Master Doo-but little cant be running in and breezing up another fight atwixt us: for, to my account, therell be but a han-yan with me soon, seeing that theyll mulct me of my Spaniards, all the same as if Id over-flogged the lubber.
"Well, old thing," said Freddie, patting Derek encouragingly on the shoulder, "here we are after all! I know you told me not to roil round and so forth, but I knew you didn't mean it. I thought it over after you had left, and decided it would be a rotten trick not to cluster about you in your hour of need. I hope you don't mind Ronny and Algy breezing along, too.
