While the Spaniards wheeled and raced their horses in front of him, trying to make an impression, Soto could not get so much as the flick of an eyelash out of the Black Warrior. Gentleman of Spain as he was and the King's own representative, he had to dismount at last and conduct himself humbly.
Do you suppose they would permit me a word with him?" Flick laughed. "Any number of them," he said. "If the rats they've caught want to run around in the trap, what's that to them?" Seagreave had no opportunity to carry out his plan just then, for Hugh began to play and Pearl made her second appearance.
The Solicitor-General and Serjeant Bluestone had acceded to the arrangement, and the Countess herself had given her assent before she had utterly separated her own interests from those of her daughter. In regard to so much, Mr. Goffe could go to work in conjunction with Mr. Flick without a scruple; but as to that other matter there must be consultations, conferences, and solemn debate.
Radmore gave the child a long, steady look. "Come, Timmy, you know as well as I do that Mrs. Crofton had no dog with her." "She had a dog with her," repeated Timmy obstinately. "It's not a dog you can see, but I see him and Flick sees him. I wanted to see if Josephine would see him too. That's why I took her in there. So if she's shot it will be all my fault."
"Good sense," commended Flick, "but are you so sure you've entirely side-stepped that danger? There's after-the-ball-is-over still to be considered." "Trust old uncle wiseacre over there for that," said Hanson vaingloriously, and nodding as he spoke toward the sheriff, who leaned big and calm and watchful against the door at the back of the room. "He's a born general. The plan, son, can't be beat.

"She talked for a while, and then walked out, taking the dog with her. You see, this wasn't the first time it had happened." "Good Lord! Do you spend your whole time doing that sort of thing?" "It wasn't me the first time. It was the stage-manager. He didn't know whose dog it was, and it came waddling on to the stage, and he gave it a sort of pat, a kind of flick " "A slosh?"
Flick, like all attorneys with a bad case, does not choose to say quite what he thinks, even to his own counsel. Mr. Flick does not like to throw his client over, nor do I, nor do you. But with such a case we have no right to create increased expenses, and all the agony of prolonged fallacious hope. The girl is her father's heir.
It is all in that moment when I opened my young eyes on it. I came upon it from a tussle with the sea and I was young and I saw it looking at me. And this is all that is left of it! Only a moment; a moment of strength, of romance, of glamour of youth!... A flick of sunshine upon a strange shore, the time to remember, the time for a sigh, and good-bye! Night Good-bye...!" He drank. "Ah!
The Lovels were not without fear as to the result of the attempt that was being made. They understood quite as well as did Mr. Flick the glory of the position which would attend upon success, and the wretchedness attendant upon a pauper earldom.
