And Archie was now free by devious paths, behind hillocks and in the hollow of burns to make for the trysting-place where Kirstie, cried about by the curlew and the plover, waited and burned for his coming by the Covenanter's Stone. Innes went off down-hill in a passion of resentment, easy to be understood, but which yielded progressively to the needs of his situation.
A lady should take a pull at her horse when going over ploughed land or down-hill in order to keep him well collected, and should always ride slowly over ground that is deep and holding, if she values her hunter's soundness.
"Ninety-seven," said Tess, when the last had passed down-hill. "Did you count the man beside the driver on the cart?" "Yes." "There was one sick man in a dhoolie. Did you count him?" "Ninety-eight, them Tom!" "Your Ladyship?" "Weren't there some English officers?" "Two. A captain and a subaltern. They left late this afternoon." "Making?" said Yasmini. "Exactly a hundred," answered Tess.
And then it was that an extraordinary thing happened "Transition" began to sell. It was quoted and talked about until the snowball of fame, steadily gathering momentum, started rolling down-hill to the general public. The sales went up and up and up. The circulation reached 100,000 and soon after, 150,000. Delancey hardly ever came to see me. I imagine he was in a very divided state of mind!
It is true they had yet fifteen hundred miles to travel, but they believed that it was all down-hill work now; and as they had still nearly two months of summer before them, they doubted not being able to accomplish the voyage in good time.
Business, with them, was a profession a finely graded and balanced thing, differing from Jo's clumsy, down-hill style as completely as does the method of a great criminal detective differ from that of a village constable. They would listen, restively, and say, "Uh-uh," at intervals, and at the first chance they would sort of fade out of the room, with a meaning glance at their wives.
Lo and behold it was worse! It was thicker, darker, wilder, steeper and there was, if possible, actually more bear sign. I had to pull myself up by holding to the trees and branches. I had to rest every few steps. I had to watch and listen all the time. Half-way up the trunks of the aspens and oaks and maples were all bent down-hill.
I look all around at myself, and there isn't an atom left anywhere of the good man I used to be. And, mind you, I never lifted a finger to prevent the change. I didn't resist once; I didn't make any fight. I just walked deliberately down-hill, with my eyes wide open. I told myself all the while that I was climbing uphill instead, but I knew in my heart that it was a lie.
At any rate, so we think at the house; or else, why should he countermand the Daumont, why travel in a coucou? A peer of France might afford to hire a cabriolet to himself, one would think." "A cabriolet would cost him forty francs to go there and back; for let me tell you, if you don't know it, that road was only made for squirrels, up-hill and down, down-hill and up!" said Pierrotin.
Now if you will put us on the right trail, we three can find the way to the cave. We will stay there with the other girls, and let you do as you think best, after you send Jeb away to meet Simms," said Eleanor. "Mike mus' tell Boss and Bill 'bout fire. Him eat down-hill, udder side Slide. No burn dis side."
