They were all sitting on the hearth, warming their fingers, and when the apple-wood fire burned down to coals that now and again spurted short-lived flame, they set the can of peas and the can of baked beans among the embers. They turned them gingerly from time to time with two sticks, and laughed a great deal. The laughter echoed about in the empty stillness of the house.
Finally, with his blouse buttoned as exactly as ever, and his cap placed gingerly on his aching head, he opened the stateroom door, stepping out into the cabin. Accustomed as he was to sea motion, the slight roll of the “Farnum” did not bother the young skipper much. He soon reached the bottom of the short spiral stairway leading up into the conning tower.
Crossing to the other side of the room, the negress opened the desk and began to fumble among a lot of old papers. Finally she drew out a small, thirty-two calibre revolver, which she held out gingerly. "Is dis it?" Laura turned and looked. "Yes," she said quickly. "Put it back. I thought that perhaps it was lost."
Urquhart took the paper gingerly and did not look at it. "Thanks; but ... I don't know that I am interested, do you know. Isn't this all rather silly, Mr. Margerison?" "If you will oblige me by reading it," said Mr. Margerison. So Urquhart obliged him. It was all about him, as was to be expected; enough to make a column of the Berkshire Press. "Well?" said Hilary, when he had done.
And he waved his hand round and round, over and under the slowly sinking glass. Finally, he took it by the bottom, pulled it down, and placed it very carefully on the table. "Eh?" he said to me, and laughed. "That seems all right," I said, and began very gingerly to raise myself from my chair. I felt perfectly well, very light and comfortable, and quite confident in my mind.
There's even a hydrometer for testing the batteries." Rick took a look. As Scotty had said, there were two automobile batteries, their cables running up into the projector. "Simple enough," he commented. "Let's see what's on the film." He opened the film gate gingerly and removed the film from the sprockets. Then, without disengaging the spindles, he put the flashlight behind it and bent close.
She opened it on a struggle, Rimrock begging and threatening and trying gingerly to break away; and iron-jawed L. W. with his sling flying wildly, holding him back with his puffed-up game hand. "Excuse me, Miss Fortune," panted L. W. brokenly, "but I just had to fetch this unmannerly brute back. He can't come, like he did, to my place of business and speak like he did about you.
She had been splashing valiantly for some minutes when Miss Lacey, forsaking her point of lookout, crept gingerly, with fear for her grenadine, to the edge of the rocks. "Children," she called in a hollow voice, "the people are returning from church." "Well, what shall we do?" asked John. "Edna and I can stay under for a reasonable length of time, but I should be obliged to drown Miss Sylvia.
"And I am very much relieved to find that my fears are groundless that you've been about nothing that my sister or I should be ashamed of," and he picked up courage to step forward gingerly and pat the young man on the shoulder. "You are in trouble, though, and I insist on knowing what it is." Pickering dropped suddenly beneath his uncle's hand, into the nearest chair.
The amenities having been gingerly touched upon, Anthony felt that he was expected to outline his intentions and simultaneously a glimmer in the old man's eye warned him against broaching, for the present, his desire to live abroad.
