Take it from me, if there wasn't something in me that's just sorry for you, I wouldn't walk these here blocks with you. Sometimes when I look at you right hard, Blink, honest, it looks to me like the coke's got you, Blink." "Now, Marjie " "You wouldn't tell me if it had. But you got the twitches, all righty." "It's me nerves, Marj; me nerves and you."
"Sure the skipper isn't dead, at all, at all." Iris had failed to grasp the meaning of Coke's antics in the chart-room, but they were now fully explained. The bulldog breed of this self-confessed rascal had taken the upper hand of him.
I do not care to enter into the tracasseries of this Cobham plot. Every one knows them; no one can unravel them. The moral and spiritual significance of the fact is more interesting than all questions as to Cobham's lies, Brooke's lies, Aremberg's lies, Coke's lies, James's lies: Let the dead bury their dead. It is the broad aspect of the thing which is so wonderful; to see how
A small reinforcement would give a fresh impetus to the British advance. If Coke's brigade has not yet been engaged Sir Redvers Buller will know when and where to use it either to reinforce Lyttelton for a blow against the Boer line of retreat or to reinforce Warren's left.
Though the sky was radiant with stars, a slight haze on the surface of the sea shrouded the ship's decks and passages in an uncanny darkness. Coke's orders forbade the display of any lights whatsoever, except those in the engine-room and the three essential lamps carried externally.

Then contemplate that excellence which is shown in the conduct of civil cases as contradistinguished from criminal that various power here, too, of speech, in itself the lesson of a life to learn the skill, too, in addressing juries and the court with equal effect; that knowledge of the law in its innumerable doctrines, principles, and decisions, which made the study even in Lord Coke's day the work of twenty years; the prompt application of this learning to the rapid matter in hand; the magical use of the faculties of the mind and the wondrous discipline which they must have undergone, every hour, every minute demanding a stretch of thought and an adroitness of discrimination which have justly classed the dialectics of the bar above all the dialectics of the schools; and the moral as well as intellectual qualities necessary in an adept in the varying practice of municipal law; and here, too, we will yield to the general opinion which places excellence in this single department one of the highest achievements of mind; and then recall what such a judge as Spencer Roane, the ablest and sternest judge of the age, and politically hostile to Tazewell, said when Tazewell pleaded the case of Long vs.
Happily, they were spared either alternative. At the very instant that their lot must be put to the test of chance, Coke's hoarse accents came to their incredulous ears. "Let her go, Olsen," he was growling. "We've a clear course now, an' that dam moon will spile everything if we're spotted." In this instance hearing was believing, and Philip was the first to guess what had actually occurred.
On the 15th Coke's Brigade and other infantry concentrated at the drift.
Considerable movements of troops were made. Colenso and the kopjes about Fort Wylie were converted into a bridgehead, garrisoned by Talbot Coke's Brigade. A new line of communications was opened around the foot of Hlangwani. Hildyard's English Brigade stood fast on the advanced low kopjes forming the extreme left of the line.
