The giant guard to whom he directed his question gave a start, for Tom could now speak the language fairly well, and, after the first indication of surprise, the guard muttered something to his companions. There was a startled ejaculation, a curious glance at the captives, and then silence. The guards filed silently away, and, a little later, could be seen going in the king's big hut.
She did not feel as if intruding; for the gateway was wide open. A low door in the base of the mill tower opened, and a maid appeared, a demure pretty little thing of sixteen or seventeen years, dressed in a prim strait dress and an old-fashioned Puritan cap. Seeing a stranger, she made an ejaculation and drew back hastily. Stephen called out to her: 'Don't be afraid, little girl!
"I ken that, my bairn. The Lord haud a grip o' ye!" It was not often that Peter Whaup indulged in a pious ejaculation. But this was a genuine one, and may be worth recording for the sake of Annie's answer: "I'm thinkin' he hauds a grip o' us a', Mr Whaup."
"Are you going to the dinner-party on board the Sphinx?" she asked, grasping hurriedly at the first topic that presented itself. A quick ejaculation escaped him. "I'd clean forgotten all about it," he replied. "No, I didn't intend going. I must send along a refusal, I suppose." "Why?" "Why?" He looked at her rather blankly. The monosyllabic question, uttered so naturally, seemed to take him aback.
A burst of tears closed the sentence; she could no longer restrain her feelings. "We must leave you now, my dear child," said Mr. Cameron, after promising compliance with her request. "May heaven bless and help you." "And may He who holds the winds and the waves in the hollow of his hand, preserve you, and all, through the hours of this terrible night," was the solemn ejaculation of Mr.
Slow as it was, the evening began to approach at last, and with it the intense longing for the change that would be afforded by the sight of their visitor. But the time glided on, and with it came doubts which were growing into feelings of surety which were clinched by a sudden movement on the part of the wounded boy, whose long afternoon-sleep was brought to an end with an impatient ejaculation.
"You are nice men, you are!" said he, after an ejaculation not necessary to be recorded, "to set a man-trap before your door every morning to catch your visitors." Then he sat down upon Henry Chatillon's saddle. We tossed a piece of buffalo robe to Jack, who was looking about in some embarrassment. He spread it on the ground, and took his seat, with a stolid countenance, at his brother's side.
It was later in this scene, be it remembered, that the portly knight was found fast asleep behind the arras, "snorting like a horse," and had his pockets searched to the discovery of that tavern bill not paid we may be sure which set forth an expenditure on the staff of life immensely disproportionate to that on drink, and elicited the famous ejaculation "But one half-pennyworth of bread to this intolerable deal of sack!"
Ibraheim Omair kept his hold upon her, and presently, with a horrible loathing, she felt his hand passing over her arm, her neck, and down the soft curves of her slim young body, then with a muttered ejaculation he forced her to face him. "What are you listening for? You think that Ahmed Ben Hassan will come? Little fool! He has forgotten you already.
She had at Nick's request not looked at his work the day before. He fell back, glad to rest, and put down his palette and brushes. "Ah bien, c'est tapé!" she cried as she stood before the easel. Nick was pleased with her ejaculation, he was even pleased with what he had done; he had had a long, happy spurt and felt excited and sanctioned.
