"I say, what's the meaning of this?" he demanded. "Just a little personal affair, sir," replied Frank, stepping forward. "Davis here and I are going to settle a difference." "Hm-m-m," muttered Lord Hastings, sizing the two up critically. "And you think you can thrash him, eh?" "I think so, sir." "Well, I don't," was the reply. "I have a notion to forbid it." "Don't, sir," pleaded Frank.
"I've been considering that," answered Andrews. "Will you volunteer?" "No," Tom answered flatly. "Of course, I'll go if I'm ordered, but I'll not volunteer." "Hm-m-m ... well, never mind about that. I have some other work for you." Andrews seemed to emerge from a fog of indecision. "I want you to take my horse and travel south as rapidly as you can.
His grandfather stared at a placard on the wall. It said archly: "Remember! A Lady is Present!" Nedda had put it up. "Hm-m-m!" said his grandfather. "What's a woman doing on a pirate ship? That's what your letter talked about!" "They get on," said Hoddan, wincing, "like mice. You've had mice on a ship, haven't you? Come in the control room and I'll explain."
I didn't get to go with you characters the other day, but what you brought back " "Wasn't half of what was there," mourned a front-file man. "Wasn't half! Those pistols he issued got shot out and we had to get outta there fast!... Hm-m-m.... Here's this thing, Thal. What do we do with it?" "Hrrrmp, halt!" barked Thal. He stared at the motionless, seemingly lifeless, shapeless spaceboat.
Her eyes watched him searchingly; she had been aware of the subtleties of the exchange between her rough, hard-working, farmer husband and his younger, brighter, better-educated brother. Anketam said: "If this is a present, I guess I'd better open it." He peeled off the seal, then carefully removed the glass stopper and sniffed at the open mouth of the beautiful bottle. "Hm-m-m! Say!"
So the chieftain over there accepted a present of money from them, and gave them horses as a return gift, and sent them here with a guard. Thal talked to the guards. The men from Walden have promised huge gifts of money if they help take you back to the thing that uses rockets." "I suspect," said Hoddan, "that it would be a spaceboat a lifeboat. Hm-m-m.... Yes.
Then, with their chairs close together, the General and the Private traced out the course of the raiders and the progress of the locomotive race up to the point where Andrews had given the order to abandon the engine and scatter. "Hm-m-m, if he'd only stopped to fight at the tunnel, say...." remarked the General. "That's what we wanted to do," answered Tom, "but he wouldn't."
Yes yes; and if our counter-attack should fail, then Miss Galland's position would be secure. Hm-m-m those whom the gods would destroy hm-m-m. Westerling will be convinced that repeated, overwhelming attacks will gain our main line. Instead of using engineering approaches, he will throw his battalions, masses upon masses, against our works until his strength is spent. It would be baiting the bull.
"He tried to bet a barrel of money and the bookmakers laughed at him. As a general thing he bets a few dollars in each book; this time he went at 'em too strong. The bookies are a little leary of that innocent old boy." "Call him innocent if you want to. He's either the shrewdest horseman on this circuit or the luckiest, and I be damned if I can tell which! Hm-m-m. Jeremiah, 20 to 1.
"Yes, sir," said Hoddan. "Hm-m-m," snorted his grandfather. "Looks flimsy to me!" He waved his hand again. "You remember your cousins." Familiar, matter-of-fact nods came from the men of the battered ship. Hoddan hadn't seen any of them for years, but they were his kin. They wore commonplace, workaday garments, but carried weapons slung negligently over their shoulders.
