It's either that or the chronometer's gone wrong, or I've forgotten my navigation." "It must be the chronometer, sir," the mate reassured his owner. "You know I made separate sights and worked them up, and that they agreed with yours." "Yes," Grief muttered, nodding glumly, "and where your Summer lines crossed, and mine, too, was the dead centre of Leu-Leu Atoll.
For a few minutes they were silent, and Billy looked glumly at the street. Then he cheered up suddenly. He looked at Kitty and smiled. "I'll tell you what let's do!" he exclaimed. "Let's go out under the tree and talk it over. We'll go out under the tree and talk it all over. That is the only way we can settle it." "It is settled now," said Kitty. "I don't think it needs any more settling."
Gordon hesitated, then swung glumly toward a corner where he could find a police call box. He heard a tiny patrol car turn the corner and ducked back into another alley to wait for it to go by. But they weren't looking for him. Their spotlight caught a running boy, clutching a few thin copies of the Crusader under a scrawny arm.
"Didn't you know there were a hundred chances to one the yacht wouldn't pick you up?" Jimmy nodded, unabashed. "One chance is good enough for me. Nothing can kill me this trip, I tell you. I'm good for anything. Lucky star's over me. I knew it all the time." Straker turned a disgusted face toward Agatha. "He's crazy as a loon! Isn't he?" he questioned glumly. But Jimmy knew his man.
"I don't see why you need have been so mysterious about it," she said glumly. "I didn't mean to be mysterious; I was only anxious not to make a mess of the affair. It's all very fine to assume a lofty scorn of the pleasures of the table, but there is great virtue in a really good feed, especially when low-living and high-thinking have been the order of the day."
"Correct!" agreed Barkwell; "she's a-goin' the way Rome went an Babylone an' Cincinnati after I left. She runs to a pussy-cafe aristocracy an' napkins." "She'll be plumb ruined follerin' them foreign styles. The Uhmerican people ain't got no right to adopt none of them new-fangled notions." Weaver stared glumly into the darkening plains. They aired their discontent long.
"Indeed we do not wish for any tea," said Miss Ogilvie, seeing Elvira look as black as thunder; "we have only just dined." "But Elfie will have some sweet-cake; Elfie likes auntie's sweet- cake, eh?" said the old man. "No, thank you," said Elfie, glumly, though in fact she did care considerably for sweets, and was always buying bonbons. "No cake!
If I'd done a thing like that I don't think I should sleep very well, M. Guerchard." "That poor child has just escaped, by means of a forged permit," said Guerchard very glumly. "By Jove, I AM glad to hear that!" cried the Duke. "You'll forgive my lack of sympathy, M. Guerchard; but she was such a child." "Not too young to be Lupin's accomplice," said Guerchard drily.
"The entire office force of the now defunct John Burnit Store has been dismissed, that's all!" blurted Applerod, now the aggrieved one. "You sold us out, lock, stock and barrel!" "Impossible!" gasped Bobby. Mr. Johnson glumly showed him curt letters of dismissal from Trimmer. "Where's mine, I wonder?" inquired Bobby, trying to take his terrific defeat with sportsmanlike nonchalance.
And then we were so hot and thirsty that we stopped in the inn and had beer plain, frothy beer while the chauffeur was trying to start his old contraption into life. Um-mh! That seems a dreadfully long time ago." "It does! It does!" he assented glumly, and fell to staring into the fire as if therein he could bring it all back to vision.
