There was sarcasm in the words. The three men turned. It was the girl Joe had bumped into the day before. The Haers didn't seem surprised at her entrance. "Nadine," the older man growled. "Captain Joseph Mauser who has been given a commission in our forces." Joe went through the routine of a Middle of officer's rank being introduced to a lady of Upper caste.
Probably there were no facilities for doctoring them, and the chief perhaps thought they might as well die now as later on, and so save him a good deal of trouble in transporting them to the shore. Just then the other junk bumped heavily alongside, and her men came aboard, reporting that their craft had been so badly damaged that she was in a sinking condition.
He stood on his toes and then bumped down on his heels, and looked blandly through his spectacles at a water-color by his sister the subject was a bunch of violets above the sideboard which was his pantry and tea-chest and cellar. "Yes," he said as he did so. I coughed, and wondered how I might presently get away.
But Sir George allowed no respite: in five minutes they were clear of the houses and riding hard for Chippenham, the next stage on the Bristol road; Sir George's horse cantering free, the lawyer's groaning as it bumped across Studley bridge and its rider caught the pale gleam of the water below.
"Are you scattering the blessings of Certina amongst a grateful proletariat?" "Not exactly. I'm down here on some other business." "Well, I won't keep you from it, Dr. Surtaine. Good-bye." The swinging doors of a saloon opened almost upon her, and a short, broad-shouldered foreigner, in a ruffled-up silk hat, bumped into her lightly and apologized. He jogged up to Dr. Surtaine.
He heard her, and tried to pull down the sail; but the wind would not let go of the broad canvas and the ropes had become tangled. Nearer and nearer they drew to the great rocks, and the shaggy man was in despair because he could do nothing to stop the wild rush of the sand-boat. They reached the edge of the desert and bumped squarely into the rocks.
A cart bumped over the cobbles, the horse with a great tumor in its stomach, the stomach as if blown out on the left side, and the tumor with a rag upon it where it touched the harness. Inside the window, a square room with a litter of six-penny novels in a corner, fifty or sixty books flung haphazard, some of them open with the leaves crushed back by the books above.
Forgetting his dispute with Cockle, he bumped past me and made his way with some trouble to the poop.
We kept her going with the hop-poles, and we kept her steady in the same way, but we could not always keep her steady enough, and we could not always keep her in the wind's eye. That is to say, she went where we did not want, and once she bumped her corner against the barn wall, and all the crew had to sit down suddenly to avoid falling overboard into a watery grave.
When at last she drew in her head, as the train steamed away, I turned round in a hurry lest she should pop it out again, and bumped into a man, or what will be a man in a few years if it lives. I said, "Pardon, monsieur," as gravely as if it were a man already, and it said in French made in England that 'twas entirely its fault.
