"Hello, Johnnie! what you after to-day bears?" But he only shook his head a bit sheepishly, I thought and talked of all things except the one that he was thinking about; and presently he vanished down the old road. One of his jacket pockets bulged more than the other, and I knew there was a trap in it.
If you should come to grief, I should die of horror." She measured the distance with her eye, and then, without answering him one word, she swam up to the boat, and laid her hands upon the edge; he rose to help her in. As the boat tilted over to one side with the girl's weight, his jacket that was lying on the bench slipped into the water.
He felt, however, that nothing could be gained by delay, so he struck at once into the cave, swam to the inner end, and landed. Wringing the water out of his clothes, he threw off his jacket and vest in order to be as unencumbered as possible, and then began to climb cautiously. Just above the spot where Ruby ascended there chanced to be stationed a seaman named Dalls.
The rooms communicated with double doors, and our friends very soon effected a passage. 'Have you any 'baccy? asked Jack, waddling in in his slippers, after having sucked off his tops without the aid of a boot-jack. 'There's some in my jacket pocket, replied Sponge, nodding to where it hung in the wardrobe; 'but it won't do to smoke here, will it? asked he. 'Why not? inquired Jack.
Miss Sarah's note which had been almost a week on the way was very primly correct, but the inevitable postscript which under-ran it sounded a more intimate note. "We are not excessively formal as a rule, Stephen," she wrote, "so a dinner jacket will be adequate. As I am expecting two other guests besides your friends, Mr.
Every countenance was fixed upon me, while Red Jacket in particular seemed to search me with his arrowy eye, and to feel that the private and informal nature of the meeting, and the extreme youth of the man, were hardly in keeping with the character and number of the guests invited; and his whole manner implied, that 'but for the sake of the general and his good viands, I should have waited for you to come to us. With these impressions of his feelings, I proceeded to say in reply: "That I should have thought it very presumptuous in me to send for him alone, and still more for all the chiefs of his tribe, to come so far to see me; and that my intention had been to visit him, and the other chiefs at his town; but the general and his lady, could not go with me to introduce me.
When we go down in the dirt be sure that some of the Fordham fellows have something to remember us by for many a day! I'm glad Hazelton has already been sent forward in an ambulance." As Dick finished dressing and waited for the others, he saw one of the subs dropping a spiked shoe into an outer jacket pocket. "What's that for?" Dick demanded sternly. "A weapon?"
"Of course," she said, "as regards the present case, I know perfectly well that both Jem and his father would wish everything to go to Arthur." She was picking a thread from the corner of her jacket with an air of nonchalance. Mr. Rigg was silent. He had some thirty years before this period given up attaching importance to the wishes of the deceased as interpreted by disinterested survivors.
Uncle Jack, who had been below, sprang up the companion-ladder, and, looking over the side, saw that it was little Jem, who had fallen from the fore yardarm. Ordering all hands to brace up the yards and the man at the wheel to put down the helm, while he threw off his jacket, he leaped overboard and struck out for the boy. "Heave a grating here!" he shouted.
It was like the retreat from Caporetto in miniature. And what was chasing them? In a minute I saw. Coming around the corner was a kid with a lightning-blue satin jacket and two funny-looking guns in his hand; there was a silvery aura around him, the same color as the lights in the sky; and I swear I saw those cops' guns hit him twenty times in twenty seconds, but he didn't seem to notice.
