He micht maybe have stood there an hour, or maybe twa, he minded sae little; when a' o' a sudden he heard a laigh, uncanny steer upstairs; a foot gaed to an' fro in the cham'er whair the corp was hingin'; syne the door was opened, though he minded weel that he had lockit it; an' syne there was a step upon the landin', an' it seemed to him as if the corp was lookin' ower the tail and doun upon him whaur he stood.
Yet did you ever notice that the barber shop entrance was exactly twenty paces east on Umpteenth Street from the corner of Broadway; that you go down three iron steps to a landin' before you turn for the other 15; or that the barber pole has a gilt top with blue stars in it, and is swung out on a single bracket with two screws on each side?
So wid that I'd take a race home and be tellin' you all the iligant thing was after happenin'. And in the middle of it who'd come landin' in but me father and mother, and little Dan. And then, if it isn't the grand cup of tay I'd be makin' her, ay begorra would I, and a sugarstick to stir it wid." Johanna's vision of the millennium was broken in upon querulously by Thady.
"The Australians have took everythink, or practically everythink worth takin'. They stormed Lala Baba and captured Chocolate 'ill in fac' they made the landin'; and the Xth and XIth Divisions are simply a myth accordin' to the papers!" Many times have I seen the value of the Scout training, but never was it demonstrated so clearly as at Suvla Bay.
"What d'yer say? let's s'prise Gil, and go down to the landin' an' meet him when he comes in from fishin'," suggested Foley, knowing the intense love she had for her brother. "That'll be lovely, won't it? And Gil will be so glad if I come." Lillian whipped the hoop rapidly, and Tom kept pace with her. "Gil will be surprised, sure enough, when he sees me coming, won't he?"

"Bail her out!" bellowed David, shaking the water from his eyes. "Jamie's right! 'Tis blowin' too high for comfort!" shouted Andy, as he and Jamie, each with a kettle, bailed. "We'd better not risk goin' on! Find a lee to make a landin', Davy." "'Tis against reason not to take shelter!" piped Jamie. "Fort Pelican's only ten miles away!" David shouted back in protest.
'Twas only the grace o' Proveedence that saved us in landin' here, and we didna get clear off then!" "No, we didn't," said the skipper, with a chuckle. "But we won't essay that long trip yet awhile at all events, not until we are forced to. We will try the islands near us first; and then, if we meet with no luck there, why, we'll shape a course for Good Success Bay."
'Oh, Joanna dear, I says, 'won't you come ashore an' live 'long o' me at the Landin', or go over to Green Island to mother's when winter comes? Nobody shall trouble you an' mother finds it hard bein' alone. I can't bear to leave you here' and I burst right out crying. I'd had my own trials, young as I was, an' she knew it. Oh, I did entreat her; yes, I entreated Joanna."
