What had impressed him during the brief breakfast was the sort of awe in which Anson and Big Bill stood of Charles. Once, during the morning, while Anson took a breathing spell after bringing in another hundred-pound pack, Tarwater delicately hinted his impression. "You see, it's this way," Anson said. "We've divided our leadership. We've got specialities. Now I'm a carpenter.
"Are you a contemptible Wight, or does a true artist's heart beat in your breast? Would you fear to go, perhaps to your death, for this imperilled man?" "No, no!" cried the youth as joyously as if a hundred-pound weight had been lifted from his breast. "If it costs my life, so much the better! Here I am! Post me where you please, do with me as you will!
"Why, they are all hundred-pound notes, bright as silver from the Bank of England. Oh, dear! how new and crimp they are where do they come from, sir?" "From Australia." "Ah! Oh, impossible! No! nothing is impossible to such a man as you. Twenty." "They are at Newborough slept at 'King's Head," whispered Meadows. "Good Heavens! think of that. Thirty " "So did I." "Ah! forty four thousand pounds."
Bird kept his eye glued to the bomb sight. "It's suspicious enough for me to act," he cried. "Drop one!" Carnes pulled a lever and a hundred-pound high explosive bomb detached itself from the plane and fell toward the ground. "Another!" cried the doctor. A second messenger of death followed the first. "Bank around and back over while we give them the rest." "Right!"
A first-class parrot can repeat seventy different phrases; but an English philosopher offered a hundred pounds sterling to any "mind-reader" who should succeed in guessing the seven figures in the number of a hundred-pound bank-note, and It would be as safe to offer the same sum to any bird that could furnish evidence of attaching a definite meaning to any seven of his seventy sentences.
Tu as le coeur a rire Mai j'l'ai-t-a pleurer," ran his chanson. Phillips had seen the fellow several times, and the circumstances of their first encounter had been sufficiently unusual to impress themselves upon his mind. Pierce had been resting here, at this very spot, when the Canuck had come up into sight, bearing a hundred-pound pack without apparent effort.
Many a boat striking at full speed against them, have had their hulls pierced as if by a hundred-pound shell, and have gone to the bottom like stone. It was the sound made by the "sawyer" which had puzzled Jack Carleton before he caught sight of the great river. He could not wonder that he had failed to guess the cause of the intermittent swash which reached him through the woods.
They can carry a canoe or a hundred-pound pack over a forest trail; and in the winter they set the pace in the scientific, law and medical schools. Their heads are clear, their eyes are bright, and there is a hollow instead of a bow window beneath the buttons of their waistcoats. The feet of these young men carry them to strange places; they cope with many and strange monsters.
They were hard eyes, such as are only to be seen in a woman's face; for an old man has usually picked up a little charity somewhere on the road through life. Then she looked at a hundred-pound note which he had tossed across the table to her with a silent Catalonian contempt earlier in the proceedings. "I thought he was rather easy to manage," she said, examining the note.
The shore boat, with the hundred-pound anchor and cable in the bow, hovered just where Captain Jack had directed, but what could be going on in the submarine at the bottom of the little harbor? "Mr. Farnum, don't you sometimes get nervous over such things?" demanded one of the women. "Never," the boatbuilder assured her.
