"No," said Jimmie, defensively; "he didn't." After this casual remark Henry continued his labor, with a scowl of occupation. Presently he said: "I done tol' yer many's th' time not to go a-foolin' an' a-projjeckin' with them flowers. Yer pop don' like it nohow." As a matter of fact, Henry had never mentioned flowers to the boy.
The despatch explained the movement from Culpeper, and on the morning of the 15th Merritt's two remaining brigades were sent to Front Royal to oppose Anderson, and the Sixth Corps withdrawn to the north side of Cedar Creek, where it would be in a position enabling me either to confront Anderson or to act defensively, as desired by General Grant.
The central position of Mafeking on the Western line, and the stores and supplies which had been collected in the town, attracted Baden-Powell to it. It was singularly ill-adapted to hold defensively against an active enemy.
"She's visiting the Willings at their place at Whitewater. She's been gone a week." "The Willings? Not those Burton Willings? How did that happen; I don't believe we care to have her visit the Willings." "They are perfectly nice people," she replied defensively, "and Marian knew their daughter at school. Allen Thatcher is in the party, and they're all people we know or know about."
"Well, the first flop I'd nail down all the coin that was handy, and then I'd buy me a flock of automobiles and have a table reserved for me at the Knickerbocker for dinner every night and...." Imagination flagged. "Well," he concluded defensively, "I can tell you one thing I wouldn't do." "What?" demanded Violet.
"Yes; we would give them a collation in the basement of the City Hall, and drive them out to the cemetery. The Americans and Etruscans are very much alike in that they always show you their tombs." "Will they in Fiesole?" "How you always like to burrow into the past!" interrupted Imogene. "Well, it's rather difficult burrowing into the future," returned Colville defensively.
"Why so?" he asked. "You'll find out why," retorted the other. "Fire here's 'most as uncommon as rain, and the boss don't like them smoky jokes." "But I saw smoke, I tell you," reiterated Grannis, defensively; "smoke, dead sure!" "All right, if you're certain sure." "Marcom knows what he's talking about, Grannis," said Graham.
He does not fight defensively, but offensively, and whatever his relation to his fellow-man, he admits no equal in the world of life below him. He is the only animal that has made a struggle for lordship. The gorilla is said to attack the lion and drive it from its haunts. If it does so, it is not with any desire for mastery, but simply to rid itself of a dangerous neighbor.
When McClellan reached Buckhannon, on the 2d of July, the rumors he heard of Garnett's strength, and the news of the presence of General Wise with a considerable force in the Great Kanawha valley, made him conclude to order a brigade to that region for the purpose of holding the lower part of the valley defensively till he might try to cut off Wise's army after Garnett should be disposed of.
"I like you almost as much as I like Murgatroyd! Yes! Korvan will never know, and he'll be a great man." Then she added defensively, "And not just from these books! He'll make his own wonderful discoveries." "Of which," said Calhoun, "the most remarkable is you. Good luck Maril!" Presently the Med Ship lifted. Calhoun aimed it for the next planet on the list of those he was to visit.
