That's part of his lovable nature. There's just one way to track him, in double time. The Master had been drawing on his mackinaw and hipboots as he spoke. Now he opened the front door. "Laddie!" he said, very slowly and incisively to the expectantly eager collie. "Cyril! Find CYRIL! FIND him!" To the super-wise collie, there was nothing confusing in the command.
His respiration grew lighter and more regular, and by and by he fell into a profound sleep. Richard watched awhile expectantly, with his head resting against the rail of the bedstead; then his eyelids drooped, and he too slumbered. But once or twice, before he quite lost himself, he was conscious of Brigida's thin face thrust like a silver wedge through the half-open door of the hall bedroom.
From the inclosure within the barracks came the long roll of a drum, and all eyes turned thitherward expectantly. Soon from under the arched sally-port two companies of cadets were seen issuing on the double-quick. They crossed the plain with the perfect time and precision of a single mechanism, and passed down into a depression of the ground toward the river.
"Heavens," I thought, "I shall be harpooned for a certainty!" Obviously the rest of the room thought so too, and they all waited expectantly. It was a tense moment something had to be done and done quickly. An inspiration came to me.
But now, in the path before the arbour, all facing towards it, there must have been a score of birds three or four sparrows, a pair of chaffinches, and then greenfinches, greenfinches, greenfinches. They were all facing expectantly towards the arbour, hopping towards it, hesitating, hopping on again, coming nearer, nearer.
A crowd below looked up expectantly, but nothing happened until noon, when military companies formed lines along Sacramento, Front and Davis streets. Cannon were placed to command all possible approaches. The great alarm bell of the Vigilantes sounded. By this time every roof near by was thronged with people. A cry went up as the windows of Vigilante headquarters were opened.
Their eyes, and the eyes of all the rest, were fixed silently and expectantly on my face. I knew what was at my feet I knew why they were holding the lanterns so low to the ground. "Can you identify him, sir?" My eyes dropped slowly. At first I saw nothing under them but a coarse canvas cloth. The dripping of the rain on it was audible in the dreadful silence.
"Now for this request of yours!" said he, looking expectantly at me. "It is this," I answered him directly: "Give me a district to govern, a tower to dwell in, and Helene to be my wife." "Nay, but these are three things, and you stipulated but for one. Choose one!" he said. "Then give me Helene to wife!" I cried, instantly. "Spoken like a lover," said the good Prince.
I temporized with him and I suppose he believes he can win me over if he cares to make his offer tempting enough." "All this," said Hal slowly, "suggests a plan." "Well?" said Chester, expectantly. "And by this plan of mine," Hal continued, "we may accomplish even more than we set out to do." "Explain, Hal," said Colonel Anderson. "It's very simple. We'll have Ivan take us to Nicolas.
"There's another thing that's possible, sir," said Vickers, who had listened carefully to all that Sir Cresswell had said. "The Pike is fitted for wireless telegraphy." "Yes?" said Sir Cresswell expectantly. "And you think ?" "You suggested that there may be more people than Chatfield and the Squire in at this business," continued Vickers. "Just so!
