Weel, they turned on me, and clinked at me wi' their swords, and I garr'd my hand keep my head as weel as I could till Lord Evandale came up, and then I cried out I was a servant at Tillietudlem ye ken yoursell he was aye judged to hae a look after the young leddy and he bade me fling down my kent, and sae me and my mither yielded oursells prisoners.
For a full minute Captain Plum remained in stupefied bewilderment, silenced by the sudden and unexpected turn his adventure had taken. Fascinated, he watched the skeleton fingers as they clinked the gold pieces. What was the mysterious plot into which he had allowed himself to be drawn? Why were a hundred guns and a ton and a half of powder and balls wanted by the Mormons of Beaver Island?
Dropping the knife, he swept his right arm up and once more hooked his fingers over the inside of the ledge. Far down the knife clinked suggestively upon stone.
His spurs clinked as he went down the aisle; and, involuntarily, he tapped a boot-leg with his riding-whip. The singing ceased. His spurs made the only sound. The rustics at the door fell back before him. He had to go up three steps to reach the threshold. As he stood on the top one he paused and turned round. So, this was home: this church more so even than the Court hard by.
"Here!" croaked the old woman, in a dull voice: and Basavriuk, giving him a spade, said: "Dig here, Petro: here you will see more gold than you or Korzh ever dreamed of." Petro spat on his hands, seized the spade, applied his foot, and turned up the earth, a second, a third, a fourth time. . . . There was something hard: the spade clinked, and would go no farther.
It was black and slimy, and so heavy that I had to use both hands to lift it, and it clinked when I set it down. "I thought so," said Roger. "There'll be more of them in there. Fish them out, Bennie."
"I'll do nothing of the sort," asserted Kurzbold, with equal firmness. "In that case," exclaimed Roland, "I shall retire, and I ask you to put me in a position to repay Herr Goebel the money I extracted from him. I resign the very thankless office of so-called leadership." At this several wallets came out upon the table, but their contents clinked rather weakly.
You would have paused to admire and envy had you passed that way and looked in under the trees, as they clinked glasses and called one to another and went off into gales of mirth over nothing at all. What laughter is so gay as laughter at nothing at all?
He had been there so often when he wanted a handful of cookies and knew, if he clinked the cover, he might hear his father's voice from the dining-room where he sat reading his paper: "What are you doing out there?" The cookies were waiting for him, unchanged, as if there were an everlasting pattern of cookies and you couldn't get away from it: oak-leaf, discreetly specked with caraway.
Seen through the gold of old Scotch, life seems more beautiful, and the barmaids more fetching." Perched on the high stools which allowed them to lean on the rail of the bar the two topers solemnly clinked glasses.
