But hastily Burroughs sped from that inquisitive question. "Balliana is your next station," he reported. "You've all the time you want, and I'll take you over myself. Now make yourself as comfortable as you can," he added to Arlee, handing her a big jar of cold cream and lugging forward an armful of rugs. "I'll be back with some food in a jiffy."
'Why, if ever I stop to take a chair, or rest my bones a bit, she's after me in a jiffy, and asks if I don't think I can get so much done in an hour if I work as tight as I can clip it. I was never so druv in my life.
"Thank you, I guess I will, Frank, because it's pretty dark out there. I'll be back in a jiffy." "Whoop it up if the cats tackle you, Will," called out Bluff, but even if the other heard this vague intimation of peril he was too filled with enthusiasm to pay any heed to it, for he kept straight on. A short time afterwards Frank heard him returning.
"Shure, I'll be glad enough to do that same," exclaimed Dan Connor; "and if you'll just step into your cabin, sir, we'll have you all to rights in a jiffy." "I shall not be the only one hit," observed the second mate, as he allowed Dan to take off his coat. Still the captain had not abandoned all hopes of escaping, and kept to his resolution of persevering to the last.
"They may be getting anxious about you." "No, Will, I'd rather not go back just now. I'll go on home." Amy hesitated over the word. "I can take a short cut across the fields." "Then let me take off your skates," he said, gently. Perhaps he guessed at something that had occurred. "Come over to shore and I'll have them off in a jiffy. Then I'll walk home with you."
Then he suddenly swung round on his seat, and growled ferociously at Chick, at the same time signifying with gestures the communication he imagined would not be verbally understood: "See here, you swarthy-faced snake fiend, I'm bound up yonder, to see what's going on! You sit where you are, d'ye hear, and I'll be back in a jiffy, if things are all right!
I'll run round an' be back with it in a jiffy!" "Got the pay, mate?" he called after her, but, if she heard him, she, for once, withheld an answer. "O Mister Grocer!" she cried, darting into the dairy shop, like a stray blue and golden butterfly, "could you possibly lend me a cent's worth o' milk for grandpa's dinner? I'll pay you to-night, when I get home from peddlin', if I can.
"Oh, I'm a bad one I am! I could kill all three of you in a jiffy! Why, I just finished a month in the jail for 'regulating' a fellow-worker at the factory, and I don't mind doing another month for regulating you people!" And the poor fellow's face was more terrible than his words, and I thought our "time had come," as the saying is.
In a jiffy they had him out and sitting on the Dog's back. "Hurrah!" shouted the Villain, "now for Kernel Cob." In less than a minute they came to a little mound of snow. So the Dog trotted up to it, and round on the other side they discovered an opening like a door, and inside lay Kernel Cob asleep, snoring away like anything. So they wakened him and he was glad to see them, you may be sure.
'That's no fish. Then raising himself as high as he could out of the water he sent a sharp cry for help pealing through the darkness. 'Hallo! Hallo! Who's that? Never had Ken been happier to hear the sound of a human voice. 'Three survivors from the "Maid of Sker," he answered. 'Our boat's upset. 'Hang on! came the quick reply.
