Come closer and throw a heaving line, and send your boat, if you like, for the grub. Our boats are all lashed down." "That's reasonable," answered Forsythe. "Hawkes, Davis, Daniels, Billings you fellows clear away that boat of ours, and stand by to go for the grub." The two craft drew together, and for the rest it was like the other holdup.
But Aggie broached the subject of desperadoes, and he roused somewhat. "There are plenty of shady characters in the park," he said shortly. "Wolves in sheep's clothing, that's what they are." "Bill, our guide, says there may be a holdup at any time." "Sure there is," he said calmly. "There's one going to be pulled off in the next day or two."
Midnight was approaching. The two "Cinderellas," sent forth penniless, entered Ananta's bedroom. His face, as he had promised, was a study in astonishment. Silently I showered the table with rupees. "Jitendra, the truth!" Ananta's tone was jocular. "Has not this youngster been staging a holdup?" But as the tale was unfolded, my brother turned sober, then solemn.
It will be readily conceived that Miss Holdup was never insignificant: where she did not attract admiration, she never failed to excite contempt: and as the party were, of course, for the most part amiable and well-educated children, whom Mr. and Mrs.

Judge Marshall flushed, and fingered the end of a waxed mustache. "The silencer, sir, was my wife's idea. You see, sir, we are fortunate enough to be the parents of an infant son.
Smoky could run circles around that Skeeter horse, he boasted, and Jeff's manner of riding was absolutely unimportant, non-essential and immaterial. He was mighty glad that holdup man had fallen down, last Sunday, before he got his hands on any money, because that money was going to talk long and loud to Jeff Hall next Sunday.
Not one of the kind to go slippin' into town on a spree. Not him. And never carries around much ready money or jewelry. No holdup men out here, anyway." "But but he's gone!" moans Matilda. "Sure he is," admits Zosco. "Maybe back to Saginaw. Something might have happened at the store.
Miss Holdup was disappointed in perceiving that Matilda did not act as if she were much pleased, or much flattered, by her partiality; but this she imputed to pride, and being very proud herself, she concluded that, on a little farther acquaintance, it would only render them better friends.
You must have come across from your house on foot. I didn't hear the car .... I want you to know Brice here. I was tackled by a holdup man outside yonder a while ago. And he'd have gotten me too, if Brice hadn't sailed into him. In the scrimmage I made a fool of myself as usual, and slugged the wrong man with a monkey wrench. Poor Brice's reward for saving my life. was a broken head.
