Didn't I tell him not to l'ave this place open!" and he began shoving the planks into place himself. Jimmie, suddenly made aware of this new catastrophe, came running as fast as his short legs would carry him, scared almost out of his wits. He was as pale as a very dark and dirty Italian could be, and so wrought up that his facial expression changed involuntarily from moment to moment.
His wisdom well knew when to humor a man, and when to chastise. "Arrah," said Terence, as he took his place, "I'd as soon l'ave me gun behind as Davy and the dhrum." Methinks I can see now, as I write, the long file of woodsmen with their swinging stride, planting one foot before the other, even as the Indian himself threaded the wilderness.
"And wasn't Captain Singleton shot off his horse but tin days gone by? Aye, and Captain Jack himself too; and didn't he lie on the ground, face uppermost and back downwards, looking grim? And didn't the boys t'ink him dead, and turn and l'ave the rig'lars the day?" "You lie back again," cried the sergeant, fiercely; "and so does anyone who says that we didn't gain the day."
