In our own case, it was a mere formality, the new duty on imported cameras not applying to our well-used kodak, since it was being taken out of the country again. But we could not help contrasting to the disadvantage of Singapore the examination of Chinese and other Asiatic passengers. Theoretically, in Singapore, there is no Customs service.
At the old chateau they had a pleasant alfresco lunch, after which Captain Beamish took a number of photographs of the party with his pocket Kodak. Merriman's announcement of his and Hilliard's impending departure had been met with a chorus of regrets, but though these sounded hearty enough, Hilliard noticed that no definite invitation to stay longer was given.
And have the approaches to the shipyards combed for radicals... Let them watch particularly for a man with a kodak on the roof of the stores opposite the north gate." She picked up her hat quickly. "I'll go out now and warn the police ... indirectly. I have ways, you know." He put out a restraining hand. "No ... that's risky. My friend Storch has spies everywhere.
It was a gift from the gods; not to have taken it would have been flying in the face of Providence." "But you didn't take it," said I. "You went and left it behind." I wish I had had a Kodak for the little smile with which Raffles shook his head, for it was one that he kept for those great moments of which our vocation is not devoid.
An amused smile dimpled her mouth as her hasty glance showed her that they were all of the same girl, evidently kodak shots he had taken himself. Probably that was the girl and these were the letters that Keith had teased him about at the picnic. Neither spoke, and he reddened uncomfortably at her amused smile, as he put them back into his pocket.
The rattle of mess-wagons, driven by the camp cook and followed by the bed-wagon, was heard from all directions. Thurston got out his camera and took pictures of the scene. In the first, ten different camps appeared; he mourned because two others were perforced omitted. Two hours later he snapped the Kodak upon fifteen, and there were four beyond range of the lens.
He is very handsome, and is a constant attendant of Miss Laura's. We are great friends, he and I, but he can get about much better than I can. One day a friend of Miss Laura's came with a little boy and girl, and "Collie" sat between the two children, and their father took their picture with a "kodak." I like him so much that I told him I would get them to put his picture in my book.
As it was my first visit to Soissons I regretted not having brought my kodak, but when I spoke of this to Madame Macherez she expressed her delight at my admiration of her native city, but was extremely glad that I had not ventured out alone with a camera. Unknown persons with photographic paraphernalia were suspicious these times. It was best to leave such things at home.
At twelve feet from the wounded beast stopped, F. unlimbered the kodak, while I held the bead of the 405 between the lion's eyes, ready to press trigger at the first forward movement, however slight. Thus we took several exposures in the two cameras. Unfortunately one of the cameras fell in the river the next day. The other contained but one exposure.
But it is to be feared that if some one had followed him with a kodak, some of the snap-shots might have been less satisfactory. Let us suppose a moment when the dragon Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail. It is a way that dragons have when they are excited. And what if that moment St. George dodged. Would you criticise him harshly for such an action?
