However, with me aboard for ballast, I guess we won't blow away. Wait a jiffy till I get after Pete." He entered the ticket office and raised a big hand to the little crank of the telephone bell. "Let's see, Caleb," he called; "what's Shattuck's number?" "Four long and two short," answered the station master.
He came running and dodging, his right arm dangling and bloody. "I had to leave the horses couldn't hold 'em." A moment more, and twenty-five of the Indians charged straight through the ravine, below, and up again; they were waving their blankets and yelling, and took five of the horses with them. It was done in a jiffy.
"Make a dandy blaze, all right," ventured Giraffe, whose mind was bent on fires, so that he never lost a chance for making one; and who loved to sit and watch it burn, much as the old fire worshippers might have done in long-ago times. "Take care, Allan," remarked Thad; "don't strike so hard next time. Why, you'll knock a hole in that stump in a jiffy. It's only a shell."
'Bless me, said Jim to her, on entering the sitting-room; 'I quite forgot to get a light beforehand; but I'll have one in a jiffy. Margery stood in the middle of the dark room, while Jim struck a match; and then the young girl's eyes were conscious of a burst of light, and the rise into being of a pair of handsome silver candlesticks containing two candles that Jim was in the act of lighting.
"Well, I care nought about it it will make little difference to me what you do or where you go; but I'm cool now I want to dance again; and I see such a fine girl sitting in the corner of the sofa there by her mamma; see if I don't get her for a partner in a jiffy! There's Waddy Sam Waddy making up to her; won't I cut him out?" And Mr. Hunsden strode away.
"Shure, sir, they are from a porker which we found in the bush. It's my belief it's the very baste Mr Desmond shot last night. He was not quite dead, and showed some fight, but we finished him, and cut him up in a jiffy." "I congratulate you on your success," said Tom.
Besides, remember there will be two more mouths to feed, Thad; and sure I could snatch up some of them fish in a jiffy. Say yes, won't you?" "No need of it, Giraffe," the other assured the lean scout; "it's true that we'll have a couple more with us, but don't forget that they are expected to have a pretty good supply of food aboard as it is. Then who wants to live on fish diet."
He was lying hard on the place of his pain and rambling in delirium. "See, boys? Don't you see them?" "See what, my lad?" said the Boer simply, and he looked through the waggon window. "There's the head-gear of the mines. Look! the iron roofs are glittering. And yonder's the mine tailings. We'll be back in a jiffy. A taste of the whip, boys, and away!"
She suddenly lapsed against the tree, and slipped in a sitting posture to the ground. Collinson cast himself at her side, and put his arm round her. "Wot's gone o' ye, Sade? You're cold and sick. Listen. Your hoss is just over thar feedin'. I'll put you back on him, run in and tell 'em I'm off, and be with ye in a jiffy, and take ye back to Skinner's." "Wait," she said softly. "Wait."
Our world is trivial and empty, but at any rate we speak French decently, read something, and don't punch each other in the ribs even in our most violent quarrels, while the Sidors and the Nikitas and their worships in trade talk about 'being quite agreeable, 'in a jiffy, 'blast your eyes, and display the utmost license of pothouse manners and the most degrading superstition."
