Back to back with me, man, and we'll teach these knaves a trick or two!" Meanwhile the soldiers had recovered from their momentary surprise and had flung themselves into the fray. A clear bugle-note had also sounded the same which the soldiers had learned to dread. 'Twas the rallying note of the green wood men.
His book on The Babylonian Captivity of the Church sounded a bugle-note which thrilled through all the German heart, gave Bugenhagen to the Reformation, and sent a shudder through the hierarchy.
"Back, ye damned kerrigan," and Bryde's voice was high like a bugle-note, and he sprang forward. "Dan McBride has the sailors on us," came a shout from Dol Beag, and then Dan's great voice, laughing, "Fall on, lads; fall on. Into them with the steel." "Fire," screamed Gilchrist "fire, or we're by wi' it," and the pieces burst and spattered round us in a wild confusion.
By this time the conflict had become general, but the Sheriff's men suffered the disadvantage of being hampered by the crowd of innocent on-lookers, whom they could not tell from the outlaws and so dared not attack; while the other outlaws in the rear fell upon them and put them in confusion. For a moment a fierce rain of blows ensued; then the clear bugle-note from Robin ordered a retreat.
Presently her eye wandered from the rhythmically swaying figure at the oar to the wide reaches of the seaward path, where the yellow sail showed, clear and remote as a golden bugle-note, its reflection dropping like an echo, far, far down into the depths. The other gondola had fallen back a few lengths, as was apt to be the case. "Did you ever wonder why your men give us the right of way?" Mrs.

And between these three and the misty mountain peaks there was a face not Mat Nivers's, for the first time in all my day-dreams a sweet face with dark eyes looking straight into mine. And plainly then, just as plainly as I have heard it many times since then, came a call the first clear bugle-note of the child-soul a call to service, to patriotism, and to love.
Hilda is still in advance: she is almost "home." She has not faltered since that bugle-note sent her flying: like an arrow, still she is speeding toward the goal. Cheer after cheer rises in the air. Peter is silent; but his eyes shine like stars. "Huzza! Huzza!" The crier's voice is heard again.
Presently, from away off in the forest on the left, a mellow bugle-note came floating; then all of a sudden a multitude of dogs burst out of that forest and went tearing by and disappeared in the forest on the right; there was a pause, and then a cloud of horsemen in black caps and crimson coats plunged out of the left-hand forest and went flaming across the field like a prairie-fire, a stirring sight to see.
It was a faint sound, and far away, but it was the bugle-note which bade Captain Grover's men to change their trot to a gallop. The little force of cavalry had taken upon them no small risk in dashing forward, now that they had a better knowledge of the strength of their opponents. It was almost rashness, but it was such a facing of odds as our gallant soldiers are all the while doing.
