The bird cawed out: "'Oh, Sun Boy, great chief, beware what you do! "And then the real bird flapped its wings and Morgan thought it was going to fly, and he was lost. But it settled back again on the branch, and Morgan proceeded to caw on: "'Hurt not the white man, or the curses of the gods will come upon Sun Boy and his people.
Teddy gave him a puzzled glance, sighed, and completed the message. Alan rang the bell, remarking: "Caw will be interested to know that it was Bullard who was here last night with his petards. Pretty clever chap, Bullard. But what on earth made him return the box?" "I can tell you that also," said Teddy, as Caw came in for the telegram. "Quick as you can, Caw," Alan said. "Mr.
We reached home at dusk, just as somebody was lighting a line of new electric lamps that had been set up in the drive to show the way for the carriage under the chestnuts in which the rooks used to build and caw. I knew the turn of the path from which the house could be first seen, and I looked for it, remembering the last glimpse I had of my mother at her window.
COME OFF. Were a harp to give out the nasal whine of the bagpipe, or the throat of a nightingale to emit the caw of a raven, the æsthetic sense would not be more startled and offended than to hear from feminine lips, rosily wreathed by beauty and youth, issue the words, "The concert will come off on Wednesday."
Caw, who could not endure hearing his late master's methods called in question, interrupted gently: "Pardon, sir, but possibly Mr. France might care to see where the box was kept." "Show him, then." The servant got up and went to the writing-table. "In this drawer," he began, stooping, and drew it open.... "Good God, Mr. Alan, the box is back!"
Next moment there fell a frantic beating on the door. Marjorie darted from her refuge, thrust home the key and turned it. Monsieur Guidet almost fell in, crying "Quick! Look after Mr. Caw! He was hurt on the stair!" As he spoke, Lancaster, Doris, Mr. Harvie and the doctor appeared from the passage. "Doctor, will you go to Caw?" said Alan rapidly. "He's hurt downstairs."
Caw sprang up, ran to the door and switched on the shaded light over the table, ran back and administered the dose. Then with something like a sob he cried: "Mr. Craig, oh, my dear master, I can't stand it any longer," and pressed one of the white buttons. "All right, Caw, all right," said Christopher kindly and the glass fell from his fingers. He did not appear to notice the mishap.
He kept thinking of it all day, and when he went to sleep that night he made up his mind to have another look at that old nest. "As true as ever I've cawed a caw That was a new-laid egg I saw." "What are you talking about?" demanded Sammy Jay, coming up just in time to hear the last part of what Blacky the Crow was mumbling to himself. "Oh nothing, Cousin, nothing at all," replied Blacky.
C. hearing the caw of the rooks at 5.35 on March 6; they would not start cawing so early unless disturbed. There is thus abundant evidence that rascals were at work; accounting for certain of the phenomena observed; pointing out their resemblance to cases of experimental hallucinations or thought transfer; that such hypnotic operations could be traced by due vigilance.
It is a large enclosure, many acres in extent, in the centre of the city, with walls overgrown with creepers, and shadowed by evergreen trees, amid whose branches rooks caw, ravens croak, and pigeons coo, as undisturbedly as if in the midst of the deepest woodland solitude. I had no idea there was anything so beautiful in Japanese architecture as this temple.
