But if I take the eight-o'clock train tomorrow morning, I'll run out of the fog-belt in forty-five minutes and be in the sunshine for the remainder of the journey. Yes, by Jupiter and for the remainder of my life!" "You want to feast your eyes on the countryside, eh?" "I do.
When they boarded the Ailie, where the two girls were very glad to see them again, the eight-o'clock bell had begun to ring, and thus Tommy had a reasonable excuse for hurrying his crew to the Cuttle Well without saying anything of his expedition to Double Dykes, save that he had not seen Grizel. At the Well they had not long to wait before Mr.
Then, beginning at the first number on his hastily compiled list, he woke five different managers out of their precious eight-o'clock sleep to answer his questions. Whatever they may have thought of Luck Lindsay just then, they replied politely, and did not tell him offhand that there was no possible opening for him in their companies. Three of them made appointments with him at their offices.
You will receive my first article this evening by the eight-o'clock post." And, running out of the office, he jumped upon a blue Bayswater omnibus that went swinging by. "Well," said Barker, gloomily, "well." "Barker," said Buck, "business may be lower than politics, but war is, as I discovered last night, a long sight more like business.

"Shure, Mr. Charles, you had said you was not to be disturbed on no account, and that I was to bring in no messages." "Did you tell those ladies that? What time were they here?"

She had told him again and again that she didn't care for him; but she had also told him that she did not intend to many anybody.
After a time she also heard the unmistakable sound of a trunk lid thrown back, and the movements of him as he gathered his clothes so she surmised. But she did not rise till the maid rapped on her door with the eight-o'clock salutation: "Breakfast, ma'am." They made a pretense of eating. Hazel sought a chair in the living-room.
