We must return to the camp of Don Antonio, where the firing had also been heard, and where it had given rise to a host of conjectures. Evening had come on, and red clouds marked the fiery trace of the setting sun; the earth began to freshen up at the approach of night, and the crescent of the moon to grow more and more brilliant, under the light of which the camp appeared picturesque.
Not even the censers, depending from the dim roof, far above, could freshen it; nor could the cressets' light make more than a kind of ghostly aura through the gloom.
"Ay, ay, sir," answered Ritson gleefully, "the water's smooth, the ship's steady, and altogether it's a capital day for this kind of work. Man the tackles, there; run out; muzzle to the right, a trifle; not too much; so, well there; elevate the muzzle a leetle more; there, that'll do; I'll try that. Now then, Snowball, let's have that `loggerhead. Ned, just freshen that priming a bit.
"I beg your pardon, Miss, but Dr. Evans says you're not to get up until he sees you. I'm to bring you a bit of toast and your tea and to help you freshen up a bit and then he will come up in twenty minutes. He says to tell you that he has plenty of time." Nora made a show of protest. Secretly she was rather glad to give in.
Grannie jumped up when Alison made this remark. "Well, I'm goin' on a visit," she said, "jest to freshen me up. It don't matter a bit about me life is slacking down with me, and there aint the least cause to worry. I'm goin' on a visit; don't you fret, children." "But where to?" asked Alison. "You don't know anybody. I have never heard that you had any friends.
He didn't intend to be seen with any books about him. It was just now that Mr. Leckler saw the good results of all he had done, and his heart was full of a great joy, for Eckley had been building some additions to his house, and sent for Josh to do the plastering for him. The owner admonished his slave, took him over a few examples to freshen his memory, and sent him forth with glee.
It was one forenoon my watch below when I heard the cry of "All hands shorten sail!" I had been stationed in the fore-top. I sprang on deck as fast as my strength would allow, but I had not recovered my usual activity. "Fly aloft, there! fly aloft, you lazy scoundrel, or a rope's-end will freshen your way a bit!" I heard a voice cry, close to my ear. It was Iffley's.
"The mounseers must be in a precious hurry to catch us, if they do catch us," exclaimed Job Truefitt. "Give way, mates: if we can't keep ahead of a crew of frog-eaters, we desarves to be caught and shut up in the darkest prison in the land, without e'er a quid o' baccy to chaw, or a glass o' grog to freshen our nip." The men, however, required no inducement to exert themselves to the utmost.
Suppose you ladies go over and let mother satisfy her longing to be of use by making Miss Sally dry, while we fellows get the cots into the house, and bring over some wood from our pile for the fireplace. It will need open windows and a rousing fire in there to freshen the musty air." "Jarvis, you must come, too you and Bob. You're both very wet," urged Mrs. Burnside.
"That would be but a small satisfaction," observed Charles. "I little expected such a termination to our adventures." The breeze continued to freshen. Notwithstanding this, the schooner did not gain on the canoes. "Captain Westerway," cried Willy, suddenly, "there is a sail to the northward." "Yes, and she is standing this way," said the captain.
