All the advantage of youth was his, against the other's bulk; but as he sprang Ahmara bounded on him from behind, winding her arms around his body and throwing on him all her weight. It made him stagger, and, snatching up the heavy campstool on which he had been sitting, Stanton struck Max with it on the head. "He asked for that, and now he's got it," said Stanton, panting.
"We'll have to make up this drill some other day, when it's hotter," Dick observed, but he nevertheless dropped on to a campstool with a grunt of relief. Yes; each of these three cadets could now have a campstool of his own in quarters, for Prescott, Holmes and Anstey were all yearlings. And a yearling is "some one" in the cadet corps.
Meanwhile Fauchery had become the Countess Sabine's faithful attendant in the absence during each afternoon of Count Muffat. Whenever they went to the end of the park he carried her campstool and her sunshade.
Ganimard was fishing at the same place, seated on a campstool. Without a word, he handed him the telegram. "Well, what of it?" said the detective. "What of it? But it is tomorrow." "What is tomorrow?" "The robbery! The pillage of my collections!" Ganimard laid down his fishing-rod, turned to the baron, and exclaimed, in a tone of impatience: "Ah!
"Serve him right, and nobody will blame me if he's dead. But he isn't, no fear! Fellows like him belong to the leopard tribe, and have as many lives as a cat. Good girl, Ahmara, many thanks." And without another glance toward Max, beside whom Sanda was on her knees, Stanton threw the campstool into the tent and yelled to the men by the fire.
By four o'clock that afternoon she had dismissed her husband to his golf, had dealt faithfully with Collins and with the other duties of the day, and, having sent a campstool and umbrella to the proper spot, had just settled down to her sketch of the church as seen from the shrubbery, when a maid came hurrying down the path to report that Miss Wilkins had called.
Janice laughed again, and drew her campstool to the old lady's side. "I was never fifty miles away from home before," she confessed, "and I never was away from my father over night until I started East two days ago." "Then ye ain't got no mother, child?" "Mother died when I was a very little girl.
"Do you mean to say they make you work with your hands in this condition?" "Sure." "Poor fellow! That black captain!" Her voice had changed from a peculiarly soft, low accent to a shrill tone that made Harrigan start. "Poor fellow!" she repeated. "Sit down." The campstool creaked under the burden of his weight. She pulled up the chair in front of him and placed his left hand on her knees.
Before I left the cabin our eyes met the eyes of the only two strangers on board. I pointed to the recessed part where the little campstool awaited him and laid my finger on my lips. He made a gesture somewhat vague a little mysterious, accompanied by a faint smile, as if of regret.
The seats, except those saved for the nobility, are soon all taken, and the ladies who come after seven are lucky if they can get within the charmed circle, and find a spot to sit down on a campstool. They can then see only a part of the proceedings, and have a weary, exhausting time of it for hours. This year Rome is more crowded than ever before.
