"Oh no," I said; "the cry would cheat the Boers, perhaps; the bullocks would know better wouldn't they, Joeboy?" "Um? Big trek-ox laugh, and say `Gammon," replied the black, showing his glistening teeth. "Very well, then; when you are getting within earshot let Joeboy give three roars half-a-minute apart." "Right," I said. "You understand, Joeboy?" "Um? Yes, Boss Val."
Anne now waited in her corner in breathless suspense for the proceedings of the other man. In about half-a-minute she heard him descend from the copper, and then the square opening of the doorway showed the outline of this other watcher passing through it likewise. The form was that of a broad-shouldered man enveloped in a long coat. He vanished after the steward.
In a well-regulated ship, there is not a bolt or a bar, nor any kind of tool belonging to the carpenter, nor a single rope great or small; canvas fine as duck, or coarse as No. 1, belonging to the boatswain; nor any description of warlike store in charge of the gunner, which cannot instantly be laid hold of, and conveyed in half-a-minute to any part of the ship, alow or aloft.
All these disconnected thoughts flashed through his mind in something under half-a-minute, and then Varick made his pleasant little speech, welcoming the people there, and saying he hoped there would ensue a long and pleasant connection between them. There was a great deal more stamping of feet and handclapping, and then gradually the company, gentle and simple, dispersed.
Suddenly Jack remembered another point, and crying, "Half-a-minute, Buck," he rushed back to the office. He thrust open a swing door and saw that the interpreter was still there, and was now in conversation with a smaller man. Jack stepped forward, and the smaller man looked up and gave a short, quick cry of alarm.
To see them fight would be surprising. They will fight like two bulldogs. When they have got a grip of each other with their teeth I have taken away my hands, and they have stuck and shook one another for at least half-a-minute, although you must understand that the moment they are loose of one another they are off if you don't catch them again.
Time and again he would have his slate down at least half-a-minute before Bert did his, although previous to this sudden change in his fortunes, the difference in time between them had been rarely more than a few seconds. Then again it was noticeable that he took the utmost care that none of the others should see what was on his slate.
He took out Edward's note, the accounts, the rosebud, and the photographs, regarding them with the keenest interest and anxiety. The note, the accounts, the rosebud, and his own photograph, he restored to their places again. The other photograph he took between his finger and thumb, and held it towards the bars of the grate. There he held it for half-a-minute or more, meditating.
"Oh, it's 'ard! it's 'ard! . . . And me sittin' here calcilatin' eggs an' milk domestic-like and thinkin' what bliss . . . But you don't understand. O' course you don't. Why should you?" Tilda placed her hands behind her back, eyed him for half-a-minute, and sagely nodded. "Well, I never!" she said. "Oh, my goodness gracious mercy me!" "I can't think what you 're referrin' to," stammered Mr.
"'Tis Nick Sassy Nick Wyandotté, Flower of the Woods," for so the Indian often termed Maud. "Got news cap'in send him. Meet party and go along. Nobody here; only Wyandotté. Nick see major, too say somet'ing to young squaw." This decided the matter. The gate was unbarred, and Nick in the court in half-a-minute.
