Again and again he loosed his hold upon the ape-man's shoulder in an attempt to seize the jugular; but Tarzan of the Apes had fought before with creatures who struck first for the vital vein, and each time he wriggled out of harm's way as he strove to get his fingers upon his adversary's throat.
Purvis booked them in a tattered notebook. Montgomery began to feel happy. He lay back with his legs outstretched, his back against the corner-post, and one gloved hand upon each rope. What a delicious minute it was between each round. If he could only keep out of harm's way, he must surely wear this man out before the end of twenty rounds. He was so slow that all his strength went for nothing.
It was then settled that Mr Harding should go to Plumstead on the following day; and after considerable discussion on the matter, the archdeacon proposed to ask Eleanor there also, so as to withdraw her, if possible, from Mr Slope's attentions. 'A week or two, said he, 'may teach her what he is, and while she is there she will be out of harm's way. Mr Slope won't come there after her.
"Oh, I punched him up some, I couldn't keep my hands off him, I only wonder I didn't kill him " "Let me out of this, boss " whined the handy-man. "Shut up, you!" said the gambler roughly. He drew back his hand, but Langham caught his arm. "Don't do that, Andy!" he said. "He isn't in any shape to stand much more of that; and what's the use, the harm's done!"
"A shark! Won't it bite?" "Aye, by Jove, it will!" said the Captain ironically. "I'd swarm up to the masthead, if I were you, so as to be out of harm's way. You needn't mind your sister or any of us down here. We can take care of ourselves!"
But Tom's club was of little use, with the big bird on his back. Bunny saw this and cried: "Wait a minute and I'll throw some stones at him." "You might hit Tom instead of the gobbler," said Sue, who was safe out of harm's way behind a big pile of wood. "Don't throw any stones, Bunny." "No, you'd better not," said Tom. "I'll try to shake him off."
As the tender moved ahead of the great ship, the lead-line was struck out of the leadsman's hands; but another line was immediately found, and the little vessel continued her course. Though she received nine shots in her hull, the leadsman was the only man wounded on board. Having performed her duty, she steamed off out of harm's way.
Brilliana in hiding gave a little gasp when she saw her neighbor fall; she could not tell whether to laugh or cry at the defeat of the Cavalier. She saw Halfman bend over the fallen man and lift his head upon his knee. She saw Evander advance and look down upon his adversary. "I hope you are not hurt," Evander said, solicitously. Halfman glanced up at the victor. "No harm's done," he said.
He gave me her to keep, for he wanted her out of harm's way the lass having a bonny dower, lands and money till he could marry her up to one of his sons. I took her; of course I was not going to do other men's work for naught; so I would have married her up to my poor boy, if he had but lived. But he would not live, as you know.
If I don't like her, no harm's done. Back she goes to her people, that's all her mother's family I know nothing about them, and care less. At all events, she looks endurable don't you think?" "Much more than that," said Constance. "A very nice girl, I should imagine." "Ha! You mean that? Of course you do, or you wouldn't say it. But then, if she's only a 'nice girl' pooh!
