Perhaps, as like recognises like, he recognised in her the instincts of the born drifter, momentarily at anchor the temporary inertia of the opportunist, the latent capacity of an unformed character for all things and anything.
"Besides, we've only confessed that we love each other I've asked for no promise, Meg I've no right to. Remember, you are free, absolutely free this old drifter isn't to count." "Absolutely free!" Meg laughed. "Just as if words made us free! Four walls do not a prison make! You know perfectly well that I am tied hand and foot and bound all round about with the cords of your love.
He says it's only a question of time, he and his men running down the smugglers. You see, Hiram, we are interested mainly in finding the aero-hydroplane, and getting it back to the Interstate people." "That's so." "And we must think of that first." "I understand." "We will make a long trip tonight clear across the lake." "Suppose you get a sight of the Drifter?"
The Drifter, being in the hands of the Dawsons, who knew considerable about aviation, would probably follow the same course. At night it was more difficult to tally off progress than in daylight, but so far Dave felt that he had not deviated from the due northwest course that was to bring him to a certain destination.
I am pretty certain that the Drifter left Bolton on a due northwest course," and Dave drew from his pocket the card he had got from the tramp. "Capital!" cried the aviator, becoming very much interested. "If you know that, you have half solved the problem."
The troopers had then searched their prisoner and to them a loaded money belt worn by a drifter did not make good sense, either—unless too much sense on the wrong side of the ledger. Drearily Drew had to admit that had he stood in the lieutenant’s boots, he would have made exactly the same decision and brought his prisoner back to the camp.
"Well, we shan't be long now before we tie up to the buoy curse these fellows! Here come all the drifters with mails and ratings for the Fleet.... Port five!" "Port five, sir!" The flotilla altered course disdainfully to avoid a steam drifter which wallowed through the wake of the Destroyers in the direction of the distant fleet, still shrouded by the morning mist.
The average man or woman who belongs to the former class has rather a horror of the drifter and likes to give him a wide berth. Something of this nature had passed through Scott's head more than once when he had been attracted by a woman whose outer and inner trappings did not correspond.
They are, it is perfectly true, granted a sum of money by a paternal Government wherewith to purchase their kit, but brass buttons and best serge suits do not blend with life on board a herring drifter at sea in all weathers. Sea-boots, oilskins, jerseys, and any old thing in the way of trousers and headgear are far more fashionable.
"No, Toby won't mind," Bunny said, with a sudden memory of her quick surrender flooding his soul. "By Jove, Charlie! You are a good sort to help me like this. There's no one else that can get things moving as you can." "Oh, you can count on me for that," laughed Saltash. "I never was a drifter. Life is too short. We'll meet again to-morrow then.
