But this is not the place to speak. Stones have ears, and traitors abound even in these hoary walls which have echoed to the songs of the bard for more years than man can count. Ah, woe the day; ah, woe the falling off! That I should live to see the sons of Dynevor thus fall away the young eaglets leaving their high estate to grovel with the carrion vulture and the coward crow!
The lad, after resting awhile, picked his way down to the ground, where his feet had hardly touched when he fainted in the professor's arms. He soon rallied, however, though his wounds were so severe that he was obliged to keep his bed for several weeks. The two eaglets were found uninjured, and were safely carried to the professor's home, as were the bodies of the dead birds.
Of course, I mean with Fallows and his kind " "An eagle's nest." "But the eaglets are starving." "Heretofore the job has been served. Come along with me and meet Duke Fallows again " "No. I must go back to the wire for the present. Boylan would be shocked, too. By the way, I've got a bid in for you with General Kohlvihr. Boylan is to help me put it through, of course.
From the rumbling truck, Rose-Ellen and Dick focused sleep-blurred eyes with a mighty effort and saw the great dome and spreading wings, flooded with light. "Puts me in mind of a mother eagle brooding her young," Grandpa muttered. "Land of love, enough sight of them eaglets is out from under her wings, finding slim pickin's," Grandma snapped. "Looks like white wax candles."
His was a spirit daring in love as in war, and surely Francezka Capello had the spirit of ten good men in her young soul. I began to wonder what two such eaglets would contrive between them. The town of Mitau is an ugly place, built near a dull and sluggish river, rudely spanned by a bridge of boats at the market-place.
You may fancy that a man who has often taken the eaglets out of their nests in our cliff would have found no difficulty in getting down to the street out of a window less than thirty feet above it. But I didn't choose to escape. I still had a soldier's code of honour, and desertion appeared to me in the light of a heinous crime. Yet this proof of remembrance touched me.
Gertrude sat entranced as the boy talked, and when she heard of the eagle's nest she gave a little cry of delight. "O Llewelyn, take me with you. Let me see the eagle's nest and the little eaglets." But the boy shook his head doubtfully. "You could not get as far. It is a long way, and a very rough walk." The child shook back her curling hair defiantly. "I could do it! I know I could.
Raymond had been dimly conscious of other thoughts and purposes, but memory was only gradually recalling to his mind the half-forgotten days of childhood, when the twin eaglets had stood at their mother's knee to talk with her in her own tongue of the land across the water where was her home the land to which their father had lately passed, upon some mission the children were too young to understand.
"Health to you, eaglets! honorable men of Vilna! What are you up to? What are you busy at?" cried the newcomer, swiftly approaching the table and taking the chair that Pacomius Borisovitch had just been knocked out of. "What is all this?" he continued, with one hand seizing the vial of colorless liquid and with the other the photograph of the college assessor's widow.
"The lion cubs" had been one of the many nicknames given to the brothers by the people round, who loved them, yet felt that they would not always keep them in their quiet forest. "The twin eaglets" was another such name; and truly there was something of the keen wildness of the eagle's eye in the flashing blue eyes of Gaston.
