This question served Bob's purpose better than he could have desired, for it caused the grizzled plainsman to start suddenly. Instantly recovering himself, however, he countered by demanding sharply: "What makes you ask that?" "Because it's such a queer name for a dog." "Well, he's a queer dog," returned Ford tersely. "Now, come along with that saddle."
"We've been ordered not to take parole," the sergeant objected. "General Forrest hasn't given any orders not to grant it," Drew countered. "As far as I am concerned, you can take it, we'll accept your word." "All right." The other dismounted awkwardly, and with one hand unbuckled his saber, dropping his belt and gun. Kirby went among the men gathering up their weapons.
"Indeed it would be a big thing of which you might boast all your life: I, a planton, shot and killed a six-year-old child in a tree." "C'est enmerdant," the planton countered, in some confusion "he may be trying to escape. How do I know?" "Indeed, how do you know anything?" the father murmured quietly. "It's a mystere." The Imp, all at once, fell. He hit the muddy ground with a disagreeable thud.
The one success of this whole disastrous affair was the admirable work of Colonel Joseph Bailey, who dammed the water up just in time to let the rapidly stranding vessels slide into safety through a very narrow sluice. Even the Red River lesson was thrown away on Stanton, whose interference continued to the bitter end, except when checked by Lincoln or countered by Grant and Sherman in the field.
You said you had been herding sheep, but you didn't know what an outfit is. You wobbled between the Galiuros and the Catalinas." "I'm not a native. I told you I couldn't remember Spanish names." "It wasn't necessary to tell me," she countered quickly. "A man that can't recall even the name of his boss!" "I'm not in the witness box, Miss Lee," he told her stiffly.
It was pointed out that he would never attempt Flanders mud after the British experience in the Passchendaele-Poelcapelle stunts of September-October, 1917. This was countered by that pivot of sentimental strategy Ypres. He wanted it therefore.... He would not GET IT, anyhow!
"But how can you do it?" "I don't know; I only know I ought to be trying. I'll hang round the train, and maybe I can get one of the porters to talk." "Interview with the Coal King's porter!" chuckled Hal. "How it feels to make up a multi-millionaire's bed!" "How it feels to sell stuffed dates to a banker's daughter!" countered the other. But suddenly it was Hal's turn to become serious.
"The cause of the attack made the night before last on Anzac has been made quite clear to us by a highly intelligent Armenian prisoner we have taken. The strictest orders had been issued by His Excellency Commanding-in-Chief on the Peninsula that no further attacks against our works were to be made unless, of course, we took any ground from them when we must be vigorously countered.
"Then you lied to me again, Lionel. For you said 'twas he attacked you." "And so he did." Lionel countered instantly. "He never gave me time to speak, but flung down from his horse and came at me snarling like a cross-grained mongrel. Oh, he was as ready for the fight as I as eager." "But the woman at Malpas knows," said Sir Oliver gloomily. "And if she tells...." "She'll not," cried Lionel.
The sea was rocked by an explosion that reverberated over the waters like the crash of a million guns and tossed the submarine like a piece of driftwood. "One less warship for the Kaiser's navy," remarked McClure. "And all because of your rare cunning, old boy," countered his executive enthusiastically. Out of the darkness came a shout for help close at hand.
