Red Tape in the Army A Disgruntled Soldier "Old Soldier, Old Fox" A Touch for Twenty Quid Augen Rechts at Seaford Canada! My family in Canada have since remarked that although my letters had invariably been cheerful throughout my imprisonment, from the time I set foot on English soil they reflected the deepest despondency.
So the pleasant summer days passed and brought them little business. Occasionally some lonely auto would crawl along the foliage-arched road, its driver looking for a place to turn around so that he might get back out of his mistaken way. Most of these were too disgruntled at their mistakes and the quality of the road to heed the voice of the tempter who shouted at them, "Lemonade, ice cold!
Joy sensed something wrong and looked at him with eagerly solicitous eyes. Shorty, however, was disgruntled by his partner's lack of delight in the discovery. "Why don't you kick in an' get excited?" he demanded. "We got our pile right here, unless you're stickin' up your nose at two-hundred-dollar pans." Smoke took a swallow of coffee before replying.
Then, after hanging the cap, with great care, on its nail, the disgruntled one slipped to the study table and picked up a book. Just as he did so there came a knock on the door. Then Lieutenant Stapleton, in white gloves and wearing his sword, stepped into the room, followed by a midshipman, also white-gloved.
In an incredibly brief number of seconds it was all over. The birds withdrew. Some sat disgruntled and humpbacked in the low trees; some merely hopped away a few yards to indulge in gloomy thoughts. A few of the more ambitious rose heavily and laboriously with strenuous beating of pinions, finally to soar grandly away into the infinities of the African sky.
There was now the matter of Cowperwood's disgruntled creditors to look into; and if by buying in these he should succeed in preventing the financier from resuming business, he would have him in a very precarious condition indeed. It was a sad day for Cowperwood, Butler thought the day he had first tried to lead Aileen astray and the time was not far off when he could prove it to him.
"I don't want to be seen talking with you," murmured the stranger, in a low voice, "but I want to offer you my sympathy. Say, but a man gets treated roughly in the Army. That captain of yours " As the stranger paused, looking keenly at Mock, the disgruntled sergeant finished vengefully: "The captain? He's a dog!" "Dog is right," agreed the stranger promptly. "Will he do anything more to you?"
Orders were given for every one to get ashore right away that evening; and the lighters, towed by a small tug, were soon carrying the passengers thither, bag and baggage, and somewhat disgruntled. A few of us, who believed that, in the last analysis, those orders were a bluff to get rid of people, remained that night unmolested in our bunks, to visit the "golden sands" in ample time of morning.
Calendar had started toward him angrily. Kirkwood calmly waved him back. "I want a word in private with your daughter, Mr. Calendar," he announced with quiet dignity. "I don't think you'll deny me? I've saved you some slight trouble to-night." Disgruntled, the adventurer paused. "Oh all right," he grumbled. "I don't see what ..." He returned to the boat.
But when he felt good, it was so joyous it ran ahead to make up for lost time. Then he set it right by squinting at the sun! No matter what queer beliefs prospectors have they are never disgruntled. I had camped near the old Flattop trail at a spot where, sometime before, I had cached some food supplies. It was early in September.
