All these orders, counter-orders of counter-orders of the counter-orders! The earth is a very inferior planet, decidedly. You did not tell me if you were satisfied with the revivals at the Odeon. When shall you go south? And where shall you go in the south?
They started away towards him, looking sheepishly at my wife as they did so; but Billy finding occasion to give counter-orders, said: "But you needn't come until you put the cockatoos away, and stuck the iguana in a barrel, and put the hose up for for her."
The confusion of orders and counter-orders, which no man had strength to carry out, of terrified cries and prayers and oaths was indescribable. The numb hopelessness was succeeded by sheer panic terror. Ofzyn threw out a second anchor that raked bottom. Then, another mountain roller thundering over the ship with a crash and the first cable snapped like a pistol shot.
In 1780, the article rose, either through caprice, or necessity, perhaps the former, from 72l. a ton to 84l. the result was, an advance upon the goods manufactured, followed by a number of counter-orders, and a stagnation of business.
Drake's old crew from the Golden Hind came forward to a man, among them Wright, 'that excellent mathematician and ingineer, and big Tom Moone, the lion of all boarding-parties, each in command of a ship. But Elizabeth was just then weaving the threads of an unusually intricate diplomatic pattern; so doubts and delays, orders and counter-orders vexed Drake to the last.

As regards directions, modifications, orders, counter-orders, in precise proportion as his preparations and operation orders have been thoroughly conceived and carried out, so will the actual conflict find him leaving the actual handling of the troops to Hunter-Weston as I am bound to do. Old Oyama cooled his brain during the battle of the Shaho by shooting pigeons sitting on Chinese chimneys.
After the roll-call and some orders and counter-orders, we heard the command "Forward!" and we left the rest-camp as exhausted as when we entered it. And thus we set out, no one knew where. At first it was the same exodus as always. It was on the same road that we disappeared: into the same great circles of blackness that we sank.
Nearing the house I saw Kerensky in the Emperor's car, proud, and smiling to left and right. His Excellency, the Minister of Justice! Everybody is sure and proud that he is building up the new Russia. Lawyers and doctors, engineers and priests, all run with busy faces, they think a statesman of today must run, everybody gives orders, counter-orders, nobody carries them out, nobody listens.
The man understood, and made for the belfry-door attached to the chapel; upon which Pierpoint drew a pistol, and sent the bullet whizzing past his ear so truly, that fear made the man obedient to the counter-orders of Pierpoint for the moment. He paused and awaited the issue.
