There is a moon at present, and as likely as not they will have a boy on watch. Are you ready, sir?" "Quite ready. Attention! Form fours! March!" and the little party started. "How far are we going?" Ralph asked the revenue officer. "About seven miles, sir. It's about half-past three now; we shall be there somewhere about six.
The roar of it could be heard for miles like the constant and incessant wail of winds in time-worn cañons. Along the floor of the Cup Rim range, sunken and hidden from the upper levels, there rode a compact group of horsemen. They went abreast, in column of fours, and they were armed to the teeth, a bristling presentation.
The sound of it smote him like a blow on the chest, followed by a rush of air and a sudden feeling of nausea. But he did not wait. He groped his way in, relocked the passage door and crawled on all fours through the smoke and heavy, malodorous gases.
"They wanted Brevet-Colonel Willie to get into a carriage and be drawn by prominent citizens and some of the city aldermen to the armory, but he stuck to his company and marched at the head of it up Sam Houston Avenue. The buildings on both sides was covered with flags and audiences, and everybody hollered 'Robbins! or 'Hello, Willie! as we marched up in files of fours.
His eyes rolled apprehensively as he looked from one kneeling figure to another, but, obeying Dan's gesture, he knelt beside him, and for ten minutes he stuck it out: then, as the prayer continued to pour in an uninterrupted stream from the Goodman's lips, he quietly crawled out on all fours and disappeared through the door.
Don Quixote, finding himself free, strove to get on top of the goatherd, who, with his face covered with blood, and soundly kicked by Sancho, was on all fours feeling about for one of the table-knives to take a bloody revenge with.
Over the end of his cigar Peter squinted at the great heap of mother-of-pearl counters and gold-pieces and bank-notes. "You will pay me double what is on the table," he said, "or you quit owing me nothing." The prince nodded. "Go ahead," said Peter. The prince dealt them each a hand and discarded two cards. Peter held a seven, a pair of kings, and a pair of fours.
Then suddenly he appeared again on an evening when the College, having won the "Fours," was commemorating its success by a bonfire in the big quad. A certain freshman, stealing down his staircase with a can of colza oil to feed the flames, was confronted by our missing Senior Fellow. "No," said the great scholar, "don't be afraid, and don't seek to hide that oil-can; but come in here."
The white rock, visible enough above the brush, was still some eighth of a mile further down the spit, and it took me a goodish while to get up with it, crawling, often on all fours, among the scrub. Night had almost come when I laid my hand on its rough sides.
When they fell into fours, and the band struck up as they approached a town, Bert Fuller, the boy from Pleasantville on the Platte, who had blubbered on the voyage over, was guide right, and whenever Claude passed him his face seemed to say, "You won't get anything on me in a hurry, Lieutenant!" They made camp early in the afternoon, on a hill covered with half-burned pines.
