In a few moments the sentry, doubtless badly scared, had been gagged, and bound hand and foot with the handy hitches of jack tars. "Leave him there," Darrin directed in an undertone. "Coxswain, post eight men around the house, and take command of them. I will take the other four men with me." Swiftly Darrin led his little squad around to the rear of the house, since the front was closed and dark.
Above the swathing of bark a strong line is made fast; the padded end is fitted into the socket, the line is made taut along the whole length of the haft, and secured by three or four half hitches about a foot from the thin end. A neat coil of perhaps 50 yards of line lies in the bottom of the canoe.
Monnie turned hers up at Menie and said, "What did I tell you?" Menie never said another word about noses. He just changed the subject. He said, "Let's all slide down at once." Koko and Menie sat down on the sled. Monnie sat on Menie. Then they gave a few hitches to the sled and off they went. Whiz! How they flew! The pups came running after them.
Whenever she discovers that she is getting pretty disconnected, she couples-up with an ostentatious "But" which has nothing to do with anything that went before or is to come after, then she hitches some empties to the train-unrelated verses from the Bible, usually and steams out of sight and leaves you wondering how she did that clever thing.
The little chorus girls had come to adore Phyllis by this time, the boys were fond of her there was scarcely one of the cast whom she had not helped over or through or under some one of the little hitches incident to private theatricals and the whole cast was on its tiptoes to see her through. There was a new feeling in the thing, that Clarence noticed directly.
"There is a hitch," said Dick, pithily, when Randal joined him in the oak copse at ten o'clock. "Life is full of hitches." RANDAL. "The art of life is to smooth them away. What hitch is this, my dear Avenel?" DICK. "Leonard has taken huff at certain expressions of Lord L'Estrange's at the nomination to-day, and talks of retiring from the contest."
And as the hawser happened to consist of chain cable instead of rope, and as it had been made fast with a complicated system of hitches, that it might not slip, it was likely to be some time before it could be cast off and the boats set free to pursue once more. But the troops were not to escape without further punishment, after all.
Course I could see something coming right then; but I didn't know what it was. Mr. Dorsett's shifty eyes take another look at Ballard, and then he hitches uneasy in his chair. "Rather an odd coincidence, isn't it?" says he. "Yes, I was on board that trip." "Then you're one of the men I've been looking for a good many years," says Ballard. "You knew Dick very well, didn't you?
Perhaps it hitches because I forgot to invoke the comic muse. She must be a black-hearted jade, if she doesn't come with merry notions to a poor devil, starving in the midst of his hungry little ones." "We are past help from heathen goddesses," said the woman. "We must pray to Heaven to look down upon us and our children." The man looked up with a very bad expression on his countenance.
I want to see you bad, Alf. It's a particular matter. I can't let it rest." "I was busy, and I hain't any too much time left on my hands now." Henley looked at the sun and then at his watch. "You'll have to talk fast, Long. Seems to toe there's a lot o' hitches in my affairs here lately. This 'un to see, and that 'un to talk to, and " "I'm in trouble, Alf, old man."
