"Shall we try to take our buoys through, sir?" inquired Greer. "We'll start with them." "Don't try to use your legs in the weed," warned Caradoc. "Don't kick; you'll get tangled." "We'll experiment and work through the best way we can. If it turns out too bad, we can turn back, that's one consolation." Just then, under Madden's astonished eyes, a queer thing happened.
What amends could he make for the treachery of his little gunboat? It was Christmas, a most holy day, and doubtless before dawn the truant craft had slipped out of the harbor without permission and had gone juramentadoing. "Attention!" commanded Sergeant Greer, startling the troop into rigidness. Their delight had almost expressed itself in a whoop. With exaggerated gestures, Lewis continued.
And when I'd walled off the cause of each failure, one by one, seemed like there opened before me a broad clear way that led right into the goal I'd been seeking from the first day. Then I closed out all my deals, and looked and saw that everything was trim and ready for winter and got my horse and started for Greer County." "And glad we are!" cried Bill Atkins. "I hope you can stay a long time."
He was asked what fee he paid young Ridgeley, and he answered, nothing. He offered him a liberal fee, and he refused it. He understood Ridgeley had gone East, but did not know; nor who furnished him with money. The prosecution rested. Wade was present, and Bissell called him; and in answer to Wilder, said he proposed to contradict Greer.
King's, and would be glad to see him at his early leisure. He pulled his whiskers down, and his collar up, and called. He found Miss Markham in the parlor, who received him graciously. What commands had she for him? "Mr. Greer, I want to ask you a question, if you will permit me." Anything he would answer cheerfully. "You know Barton Ridgeley?" "Yes, without being much acquainted with him.
"I assure you I was as civil as I knew how to be," asserted Frederica. "I'm sure you were!" said the Reverend Charles, stuffing a pipe as he spoke, and sniggering into the bowl. Miss Coppinger was justified in believing that Christian had been a success with Father Sweeny. "I declare I could like that gerr'l, Christian Lowry," he said to Father Greer. "She's a good gerr'l enough. Decent! Civil!"
Eleven years later he defeated Stephen A. Douglas for the United States Senate, and for twenty-five years he was on the bench of the Supreme Court of Illinois, serving under each of the three constitutions. For the office of Magistrate Bowling Green was elected, but Greer was beaten. Both of Lincoln's candidates for Constable were elected.
"First's ball down here," cried Greer, and play went on; but Joel had lost his taste for it, and when, a few minutes later, neither side having scored again, time was called, he trotted back to the gymnasium in a depressed mood. "You did great work," exclaimed Outfield West, as he joined Joel on the river path. "That settles Cloud's chances.
"And now I hope your little heart is at rest." "It was quite at rest before. I am much obliged, Mr. Greer; and it may not be in my power to make other returns." "Good morning, Miss Markham." "Good morning, Mr. Greer." In the afternoon, as the Judge was in his office, a little springy step came clipping in. "Good afternoon!
