Not a day had entirely passed when a rebellion arose among some of his compatriots the Scottish contingent from Orkney and Glasgow and a band of thirteen of them surrounded the newly built hut, set it on fire and as it went up in smoke rescued the prisoner. The men were arrested and were brought before Macdonell and Hillier, sitting as magistrates. This was about the end of February.
The driver, smiling across the glare of the furnace door at his silent, sooty companion, touched the throttle again; and the great engine drew away from the trolley, as a jack-rabbit who has been fooling with a yellow dog passes swiftly out of reach of his silly yelp. Now the men on the trolley heard the wild, triumphant scream of the iron horse whistling for Hillier.
Hillier speaks of an instance of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in which nearly all the small intestines and two-thirds of the large passed into the right side of the thorax. Macnab reports an instance in which three years after the cure of empyema the whole stomach constituted the hernia.
And straightway Hewitt plunged into a whirl of talk of bicycles, tricycles, records, racing cyclists, Hillier, and Synyer and Noel Whiting, Taylerson and Appleyard talk wherein the young man opposite bore an animated share, while I was left in the cold.
They argued that 'men don't do such things. That sentiment is the criminal's best protection." We passed into the zone of another army and a hillier country, where the border villages lay more sheltered. Here and there a town and the fields round it gave us a glimpse of the furious industry with which France makes and handles material and troops.
After parting from Sir George Maxwell, I continued to bend my course straight westward, and having crossed the road from Glasgow to Paisley, I directed my steps to the hillier parts of the country, being minded, according to the suggestions of that excellent person, to find my way by the coast-side into the shire of Ayr.
I recall that on one occasion I was discussing with Judge Methuen and Dr. O'Rell the attempted escapes of Charles I. from Carisbrooke Castle; a point of difference having arisen, I said: "Gentlemen, I will refer to Hillier's 'Narrative, and I doubt not that my argument will be sustained by that authority." It was vastly easier, however, to cite Hillier than it was to find him.
Anxious to atone for his shortcomings in slumbering at his post, he bestirs himself to obtain the wherewithal to satisfy my hunger, his authoritative efforts culminating in the appearance of a big dish of dhal. The country becomes hillier, and the wild, jungle-covered hills and dark ravines alongside the road are highly suggestive of royal Bengal tigers.
See, that's Sir Everard at the bottom; and there's little Jack Hillier above; and this on one side's Captain Brooks; and there, in front of all well, you know HIM anyhow, Una. Now, don't pretend you forget! That's Courtenay Ivor!" Her finger was on the man who stood poised ready to jump. With an awful recoil, I drew back and suppressed a scream.
Nearing Budapest the roads become somewhat smoother, but at the same time hillier, the country changing to vine-clad slopes; and all along the undulating ways I meet wagons laden with huge wine-casks. Reaching Budapest in the afternoon, I seek out Mr.
