At last Robin Hood found his horn and clapping it to his lips, blew three loud blasts upon it. Now it chanced that Will Stutely and a party of Robin's men were in the glade not far from where this merry sport was going forward. Hearing the hubbub of voices, and blows that sounded like the noise of a flail in the barn in wintertime, they stopped, listening and wondering what was toward.
"He took Alice's money and made a whole lot more with it, and I'm going to tell you how to do it, too." Patricia danced before him on the hall rug, clapping her hands together with joy and excitement. Suddenly she paused in her gyrations, and, placing her mouth close to his ear, she whispered: "Buy some storks from the New York Railroad." Allen jumped to his feet as if he had been struck.
I hastened to the spot; the captain and one of his officers were fighting against a multitude of the ship's crew. In a moment after I saw the officer fall. Two fellows advanced to me, and, clapping pistols to my breast, threatened instant death, if I stirred or spoke.
The conductor beat the time by clapping his hands, and when the music had raised the spirits of the drinkers, they seconded his efforts by rhythmical clippings. The jolly old Gagabu kept up his character as a stout drinker, and leader of the feast. The most priestly countenances soon beamed with cheerfulness, and the officers and courtiers outdid each other in audacious jokes.
If he succeeded, all would be well. He did not care to think what his position would be if he did not succeed. A distant appeal and a sound of clapping from the crowd broke in on his thoughts. Mills was out, caught at the wicket. The telegraph-board gave the total as forty-eight. Not sensational. The success of the team depended largely on what sort of a start the two professionals made.
Blake said, "for it isn't easy for a young girl to have to do this work." "And I'll help, too!" cried the young pony express rider. "I knew you would, Cousin Jack!" Jennie exclaimed, clapping her hands. "But now we must talk business.
Snap! snap! went Bert's whip, and out from a side place, back of a big screen, came Jack Hopkins dressed like a real clown, leading our old friend Frisky, the runaway calf. How awfully funny it was! The calf had over him a plush portiere that reached clear down to the ground, and over each ear was tied a long-handled feather duster! Such laughing and clapping as greeted this "first number"!
In front of another tavern sat the officers of the troops, whose noisy mirth she had heard as she passed the former one; they were sitting over their wine and looking on at the dancing of two Egyptian girls, who screeched like cackling hens over their mad leaps, and who so effectually riveted the attention of the spectators, who were beating time for them by clapping their hands, that Klea, accelerating her step, was able to slip unobserved past the wild crew.
"Goody!" said Flora, clapping her hands, regardless of Dinah's peril. But Dinah did not fall. Flora caught her by the neck just in time to prevent a terrible blow. When Flora said "Goody," Amy opened the window. "It is you, is it?" she said. "I thought it was a mouse." "It is only me," said Flora. "I am going out when the sun has drunk up all the water." "The sun is a thirsty fellow, my dear."
Do you suppose that they heap priests and churches with wealth for nothing? They have their reward. Do you suppose that a preacher gets into the pulpit of that church there, without looking anxiously, at the end of each peculiarly flowery sentence, to see whether her saintship there is clapping or not?
