"Got the rules in your pocket, too, I suppose." "I have," said Todd "for reference. But I know now, Higgins, that goal-keepers cannot take more than two steps with the ball, and " Sharpe's lot guffawed at Todd's neat little thrust at Higgins's little failing as a goal-keeper. "But don't you worry, Hig; I'll see you through all right. Three-quarter each way, I suppose?"
Higgins essayed the same athletic feat and came down with a crash on his haunches. "No, I haven't got the spring in me that he has," he addressed the buzzards, "but don't you get too hopeful. I'll last a long time; thick men always do." "We'll warm up some of our venison, Hig," said Payne as he gathered dry sticks for a fire. "Our next move is to stoke ourselves to the bursting point.
"Well?" said Higgins. "Going to let 'em do it?" "Do what, Hig?" "Going to let them drag you into court and beat you because they've got possession of your land?" "It takes thinking over," mused Roger. "It takes fighting, that's what it takes," retorted Higgins. "We've got to roust those hard guys out of there before they take root and put up buildings.
A feined tale of S. Germane. But Ranulfe Hig. in his "Polychronicon," alledging Gyldas for his author, saith that this chanced to a king that ruled in Powsey, whose name was Bulie, and not to Vortigerne: so that the successors of that Bulie reigning in that side of Wales, came of the linage of the same heardman.
Three species of the Dar or Aloe grow everywhere in the higher regions of the Somali country. The first is called Dar Main, the inside of its peeled leaf is chewed when water cannot be procured. The Dar Murodi or Elephant's aloe is larger and useless: the Dar Digwen or Long-eared resembles that of Socotra. The Hig is called "Salab" by the Arabs, who use its long tough fibre for ropes.
"Get some water, Hig. That's the stuff; souse him. Ah! Didn't he breathe?" "Tried to. Can't you pull his tongue down a little so he can git air?" "Get some more water! He's breathing!" "Hi, Willy!" cried Higgins, tilting the water against the distorted mouth. "Come to, old boy; come to!"
In their little coop forward, from which they saw it all, Payne looked at Higgins. Higgins returned the look. "He's a white man against four." "Come on, Hig!" With a kick Payne sent the door flying and crawled out on deck. The captain saw him and sprang for an ax. Roger caught him in a leap, flung him aside and threw the ax overboard.
Did you have any luck?" Payne shook his head. "This high ground ends less than a mile up there. And then there's nothing but mud not a thing but mud. Was there water round the mangroves?" "Yes. Salt. Salter than salt herring." "Do you want to turn back, Hig?" asked Payne suddenly. "You're going to try to get through?" "Yes." "Then I'm with you to the finish; and that's settled."
"No poetry, Hig!" some one cried. "What is it?" "It is merely a rendezvous of pickpockets and thieves, accessible only to a chosen few. I feel sure you will enjoy yourselves there, for the bartender has the secret of a remarkable gin fizz, sweeter than a maiden's smile, more intoxicating than a kiss." "Piffle!"
A HOLLYBUSH: And in the devil's glen? He whistles Don Giovanni, a cenar teco. Artane orphans, joining hands, caper round him. THE ARTANE ORPHANS: You hig, you hog, you dirty dog! You think the ladies love you! THE PRISON GATE GIRLS: If you see Kay Tell him he may See you in tea Tell him from me.
