He ran the gantlet of the Indians through that cut.... He was on a gravel-car running wild down-hill. You know the grade, Neale.... Of course his intention was to hold up my train block us before we reached the ambushed cut. There must have been a broken brake, for he derailed the car not half a mile ahead of us.
'T is not needful to bark." He went down-hill slowly, the little dog trotting beside him and occasionally licking his hand. They went into the shop, the door of which was still propped open. The Piper built a fire, removed his coat and hat, took off his leggings, cleaned his boots, and washed his hands. Then, unmindful of the fact that it was supper-time, he sat down.
We had the advantage, therefore, and gained rapidly upon the fugitives, though it was difficult to get our horses to approach them; their very scent inspired them with terror. The count, who had a double barrelled gun loaded with ball, fired, but missed. The bulls now altered their course, and galloped down-hill with headlong rapidity.
"I don't see how it could have fallen where Miss Fulton found it unless somebody had actually picked it up and thrown it there. He told you he was all the time down on the sidewalk, and, when the other man flung him off, he reeled down-hill, not up." "That's hair-splitting," Braceway objected good-humouredly. "Nothing could make me think George responsible for the murder."
It was rather odd, certainly, from our village standpoint, and we were not accustomed to see bare floors if people could possibly buy a carpet; the floors were pretty rough in the old house, too. It did look as if some of the furniture was sliding down-hill, and it was quite a steep descent from the windows to the chimney in all the rooms.
"I don't dislike her appearance intelligent at bottom, I should imagine." There followed a long silence. Eustace broke it by asking softly: "And how do things go with you?" "The same as ever. Steadily down-hill I had better let the place before it gets into a thoroughly bad state. And you?" His brother made no answer, but sat with bent head. "You remember Stark," he said at length, "the lawyer?
At the same moment he reined up his dun-coloured mare. "I reckoned," he said timidly, "I reckoned you'd be for stopping hereabouts an' getting down. You'd think it more seemly that's what I reckoned: an' 'tis down-hill now all the way." For ten seconds and more neither the man nor the woman gave a sign of having heard him.
Miss Alcott has done a noble work for her generation. Her books have been translated into foreign languages, and expressions of affection have come to her from both east and west. She says, "As I turn my face toward sunset, I find so much to make the down-hill journey smooth and lovely, that, like Christian, I go on my way rejoicing with a cheerful heart."
If possible, their way was more difficult than it had been in ascending the mountain. But daylight and the fact that they were going down-hill made it possible for them to travel with comparative rapidity. Once they noticed that they were advancing by the most difficult route, they left the margin of the brook and cut straight down the slope. Now the way was more open. They could see farther.
Mukhum Dass called after her, but she took no notice. He sent the sweating parasite to bring her back, but she shook him off with execrations. Mukhum Dass turned his mule and rode down-hill after her. "True information has its price," he said. "Tell me your name." "That also has its price." He cackled dryly. "Natives cost money only to their owners on a hundi." "Nevertheless there is a price."
