Roberta swung a camp-chair from his arm, planted it firmly in the ground, and drew a Bible from his pocket. "Miss Mitchell," he said, "suppose you sit down here in this road, leading from Jerusalem to Bethany, and tell us what is going on just now in Bethany, while Miss Shipley and I supply you with chapter and verse." "I am not very familiar with the text-book," Eurie said.
It was somewhat singular that he had nothing but good news to give. Durnovo heard the clatter of tongues, and Guy Oscard, smoking his contemplative pipe in a camp-chair before his hut door, noticed that the sound did not seem very welcome.
He had recaptured, after his five years of London confinement, the swift spring of the muscles, the immediate response of the body to the demand made upon it, and the glorious cessation of fatigue when after arduous hours of heat and exertion he stretched himself upon his camp-chair in the shadow of his tent.
They laid the body on the floor, and covered the face, which was less gruesome in death, for the pity of the eyes had given place to peace. The morning light, bursting suddenly through the trees as it does in Equatorial Africa, showed the room set in order and Guy Oscard sleeping in his camp-chair. Behind him, on the floor, lay the form of Victor Durnovo.
Placing his hat upon his storm-beaten head, he folded the camp-chair under his arm, took the leading string in his hand and followed the little dog, who began picking his way with fine care through the surging crowd. Behind him at a little distance walked the two gamblers, pursuing him like a double shadow. A bloodhound could not have been more eager than David was.
And by C. and G. E., the army abbreviation for camp and garrison equipage, the youngster meant to imply that he had no furniture beyond a camp-chair and a trunk. Cranston himself would gladly have taken them in but for two reasons, he had not a vacant room under his roof, and Margaret did not seem to wish it.
When the waiter's voice suddenly rang out at the end of the car, I jumped up instantly just as I had always done on former occasions of the same nature. And I exclaimed, "I am simply starved to death." Then I remembered and sat down so quickly that my camp-chair tipped against Celia and knocked her over so that she might have fallen off the platform if there had not been a railing around it.
He swam before my eyes, and I pointed to the surgeon's camp-chair. "Not in your presence, sire." "Have you lost your real dauphin?" I inquired. "I have the honor of standing before the real dauphin." "So you swore at Mittau!" "I perjured myself." "Well, what are you doing now?" "Sire, I am a man in failing health. Before the end I have come to tell you the truth." "Do you think you can do it?"
If I were you, I wouldn't accept any unstamped envelopes in Herculaneum It would be a good plan to go to some other town for that." "Why, damn you!" Morrissy raised his fist. "Stay where you are," warned Ben, seizing a camp-chair "or I'll break your head. Listen to me. I'm starting out from this night on to break you, and, by God, I'll do it before the year is over.
The black dress, gold cross on the watch-chain, the hairless face, and the soft, black wideawake hat would have marked him as a holy man anywhere in all India. He dropped into a camp-chair by the door of the Mess-tent and slid off his boots. Three or four officers gathered round him, laughing and joking over his exploit.
