As he was now between seventy and eighty, and had been at the work for at least twenty years, most of those concerned had allowed themselves to think that he would ride his hobby harmlessly to the day of his parliamentary death. But the drop from a house corner will hollow a stone by its constancy, and Major Magruder at last persuaded the House to grant him a Committee of Inquiry.
Louie turned on her elbow, and threw such small stones as she could discover among the heather after him, but they fell harmlessly about him, and did not answer their purpose of provoking him to turn round again. She observed that he was going up to the old smithy on the side of Kinder Low, and in a few minutes she got up and sauntered lazily after him.
There was nothing more that Jack could do, save to hold the wheel rigid. On for the bow of the "Hastings" came the fin-line. Would that moving torpedo strike, hurling them all to destruction? It must have been by a hair's breath, but that fin-line crossed the bow of the submarine. It had gone on, beyond harmlessly, now! "What's that you're saying, Eph?" demanded Jack.
There is one! Keep still! Did you see him wriggle across among the interlacing shadows of the trees? A large one too! Thank goodness he has gone harmlessly! I wonder what sort he was? We ought not to have come out, let us get back as quickly as we can. India at last! We have come up the west coast from Ceylon and are now approaching Bombay.
A cracking was heard, the schooner slowly righted, and settled off into the sea again, as easily and harmlessly as if scientifically launched. The fenders protected her sides and copper, though the movement was little more than slowly sinking on the fragment of the cake, which, by means of the cuts, had been gradually so much reduced as to be unable to uphold so great a weight.
Quite unconscious of this, Count Saxe and the rest of us watched the fire burn itself out harmlessly enough; old Peter managed to quiet the frantic servants, and we returned to the yellow room. Then the sight that met our eyes can never be forgotten by any of us.
So I remarked that, not having seen him for so many years, it was very possible I shouldn't know him. "Well, I've not seen him for a considerable time, but I expect I shall know him all the same." "Oh with you it's different," I returned with harmlessly bright significance. "Hasn't he been back since those days?" "I don't know," she sturdily professed, "what days you mean."
I cannot forbear to give another quotation from one of those ancient champions of angling which breathes the same innocent and happy spirit: Let me live harmlessly, and near the brink Of Trent or Avon have a dwelling-place: Where I may see my quill, or cork, down sink With eager bite of Pike, or Bleak, or Dace; And on the world and my Creator think: Whilst some men strive ill-gotten goods t' embrace: And others spend their time in base excess Of wine, or worse, in war or wantonness.
For an instant he watched the bubbles which marked the course of the missile, and then shouted an order to our helmsman; the Matsuma Maru swerved from her course, and the torpedo sped harmlessly past us, a hundred yards to port.
Suddenly there was a screeching, crackling answer in the air; the atmosphere was rent apart as by a lightning stroke directly overhead. The man and the horse by the blue wall dropped noiselessly to the earth. A Rough Rider paled and limped down the hill and Blackford shook his hand a piece of shrapnel had fallen harmlessly on his wrist.
