At one place six or eight were picking away busily at a jam that had formed bristling quite across the river. Bob would have liked to stop to watch; but Welton's practised eye saw nothing to it. "They're down to the key log, now," he pronounced. "They'll have it out in a jiffy."
What would become of you if I were to fall ill? And you yourself, it makes one shudder to see you; just look at yourself, after sitting up with him last night!" She drew Schmucke to the glass, and Schmucke thought that there was a great change. "So, if you are of my mind, I'll have your breakfast ready in a jiffy. Then you will look after our poor dear again till two o'clock.
"Of course he do," put in the colored man. "I'se awful sorry. Now if it were afternoon I could bring back dem what-d'ye-call-'ems in a jiffy, 'cause Boomerang allers feels good arter he has his dinnah, but befo' dat " and Eradicate shook his head, as if there was no more to be said on the subject. "Well," remarked Tom, sadly, "I guess there's no help for it.
'Tis not your girl-page? 'Tis the ship o' that hangdog of a New England captain!" The thing came in a jiffy. Sieur Radisson, having deserted the English Fur Company, was setting up for himself. He was spying the strength of his rivals for the north sea. "You praised my wit. I have but given you a sample."
It was no laffin' matter, for I knowed if I didn't drive the brute off in a jiffy Old-pot-head's son would be a comin' out of his trance mighty sudden an' that meant a catch-as-catch-can with a great, big, crazy black bear. "As good luck would have it, the next time I threw a stone, it landed on the tip of the bear's snout, an' with a snarl he comes for me.
Soon they had it out and fastened to a bed-slat braced across the window frame. "Down you go, Larry!" said Dick. "Be careful; I reckon we have plenty of time." Larry slid down in a jiffy, and one after another the others came after him, Dick being the last. As the youth turned around on the window sill he saw the fire creeping in at the door. Their escape had taken place none too soon.
In a jiffy I was after him, tearing through the branches among which, with a sinuous twisting of his body, he had just slid; a moment later I reached the open lawn again. The man had vanished. I knew well enough that he was hiding, probably flattened on the ground, among the evergreens.
Miss Stetson, ever suspicious, tiptoed back to peep in but found nothing amiss. Then a new outbreak far down the corridor summoned her to that end and Number 10 was for the time being left in peace. This was the cue. Beverly let about five minutes pass, then slipped out of bed and into her bathrobe and bedroom slippers in a jiffy. Sally and Aileen needed no hint to follow suit.
At the same moment there came a wireless from the British cruiser, which proved to be the Glasgow. "Stick to her close," the message read, "we'll be with you in a jiffy." So, at Lord Hastings' command, the Sylph stuck closely.
So, to save the situation, Vandyke scooted across with only his orderly who's his chauffeur, too in his own car with some sort of white flag rigged up in a jiffy. I expect he'll get a lot of credit for that dash when the story I mean the facts, are out." "It was a brave thing to do!" cried Mrs. Dalziel, always delighted to praise any one. "He must have risked his life."
