The cranberry bog was a goner forever, it was feared, and a little house, very handy for sorting berries in, had had its foundations undermined, and disappeared beneath the face of the waters also. Under such propitious circumstances, Aunt Mary sat by her own particular window and looked sternly and severely out across the garden and down the road. Lucinda sat by the other window sewing.
The next day Pop was able to sit up, although still too weak to stand on his legs. He was continually praising Heaven for his safety. "I dun Vink I was a goner more dan once," he said. "I was on de ocean all alone about a week, I reckon, although I lost time ob days after I'd been out two or Vree nights. I Vink I was most crazy." "Perhaps you were, Aleck," said Sam.
Want to know why it ain't going to do you any good to drop that right hand any closeter to your hip pocket?" Still Dunke said nothing, but the candle-glow that lit his face showed an ugly expression. "Don't you whip that gun out, Joe Dunke. Don't you! 'Cause why? If you do you're a goner." "What do you mean?"
"You'll have to give me back that order, my boy." Stuart's face fell. "Colonel, I've just got to see that girl, if it's only for a day " He slowly handed the order back to the Commandant. Sumner watched the red blood mount to Stuart's face with a look of sympathy. "Is it as bad as that, boy?" "It couldn't be worse, sir," Stuart admitted in low tones. "I'm a goner." "All right.
"N-o-o," reflected Phil slowly, "I thought I was a goner." "While the rest of our crowd were hiking for cover, like a lot of 'cold feet, you were diving right into the heart of the trouble, picking up my principal equestrienne. Then you sent her away and stopped to face the herd of bulls. Jumping giraffes, but it was a sight!"
"Boys, perhaps you'll get this he says he counted seven and everyone wore a khaki uniform he thinks you must be the militia course I know better but it's no use, you just can't help me I'm a goner, and the most miserable boy on earth but I say on the honor of a scout I never meant to do it I've just got to disappear maybe I'll let you hear from me if ever I get Out West where they can't find me.
A smile shone in his hazel eyes. His full red lips quivered. "I'll set you up with some tea soon. You wash yourself while I get the samovar ready." "I'll give you the note." He raised his leg with difficulty, and frowning and groaning put his foot on the bench and began to untie the leg wrappings. "I got frightened. 'Well, thinks I, 'I'm a goner." Nikolay appeared at the door.
He remained pensive; and, in a low voice, he said: "Yes, after all, there's truth in what you say.... Yes, it all fits in.... Why didn't I think of it?... My relations with Cosmo Mornington, my arrival in Paris in time for the reading of the will, my insisting on spending the night here, the fact that the death of the two Fauvilles undoubtedly gives me the millions.... And then ... and then ... why, he's absolutely right, your Prefect of Police!... All the more so as.... Well, there, I'm a goner!"
The doctor, too, got his little axe in, and was everlastingly praising the old lady, and telling the captain he would have been a goner, if it hadn't been for her! And, when the captain grew better which he did after a few days he was that meek he'd eat out of your hand. The old lady was not only a champion nurse, but she was a buster to cook.
Well, I mean to say, do chappies bung paper-weights at mosquitoes? I mean, is it done?" "Smash anything?" "Curiously enough, no. But he only just missed a rather decent picture which Lucille had given him for his birthday. Another foot to the left and it would have been a goner." "Sounds queer."
