And the boy was touched, and he said: "Take my hand, father, and I will lead you to the Lair; I found the way long ago for myself." It took Tommy about two seconds to see all this, and perhaps another half-minute was spent in sad but satisfactory contemplation of it. Then he felt that, for the best effect, Corp's home life was too comfortable; so Gavinia ran away with a soldier.
On these terms, he spared me two of his quarter-deck guns, sixty round shot, some musket-balls and flints, a Spanish chart of the coast of Mexico, with part of China and India, a half-hour glass and half-minute glass, a compass, and about three hundred-weight of salt: But all my arguments could not prevail with him to let me have any thing out of his medicine-chest for Mr Coldsea, who was still very ill of his wound.
"In all the older locations there have been bits of ground missed in the criss-crossing of the claims. Some one of you three has been sharp enough to find one of those bits just here." "Well; supposing we have what then?" I asked. He was silent for a half-minute or so.
'I? said Sir George, reverting to the easy, half-insolent tone she hated. And he tapped his Paris snuff-box and spoke with tantalising slowness. 'Well, if that be the case, I should advise you to see that Mr. Dunborough's surplice covers a parson. She sat still and silent for a full half-minute after he had spoken.
A half-minute round was enough for us. I think it really scared us. Charles, in spirit of revenge, let them out one day during our absence. When we got back from school we had only one chicken between us. It was a wonderful chicken, for it had beaten the other, although the conquered bird had fought until it had been killed.
There was a momentary pause, and then a deafening clatter as rifles, fragments of iron and wood came falling down over a wide area. Several fell close to where the lads were crouched against the rock, but none touched them. For a full half-minute the fragments continued to fall, then the boys stood up and looked round.
Shall I begin my service, your highness, by escorting them to yonder door?" Beverly gasped. The countess stared blankly at the new guard. Yetive flushed deeply, bit her lip in hopeless chagrin, and dropped her eyes. A pretty turn, indeed, the play had taken! Not a word was uttered for a full half-minute; nor did the guilty witnesses venture forth from their retreat.
One half-minute later the superintendent would have given much to be safely back with McCloskey and Dawson at the vanishing curve of scrap-heaps. In that half-minute Mr. Brewster had opened the car door, and Lidgerwood had followed him across the threshold. The comfortable lounging-room of the Nadia was not empty; nor was it peopled by a group of Mr.

"John, I didn't know that you had imagination." "It isn't imagination; I don't need imagination when I'm near you or thinking of you, which is all the time." "And you are going to marry a Western girl, after all?" irrelevantly. "I wouldn't marry any other kind, and there is only one of them that I would marry." They did not speak again for a half-minute, but what they said was relevant.
