Yes, if such an easy act as dressing in uniform appropriate to the coming drill, may be termed leisure. "Drills are going to be called off, I reckon," murmured Greg, poking his head outside the khaki colored tent after he had put himself in readiness. "What's up?" demanded Anstey, lacing a legging. "The sky is about the color of ink over old Crow's Nest," reported Greg.
When they had both had enough of it, Mr. Irons went on with his buttoning, and his lady gradually came to. This time, however, she was effectually frightened too much so even to resort to hysterics, for she was not quite sure that when he had buttoned the last button of his left legging he might not resume operations, and terminate their conjugal relations.
He too had a gay handkerchief on his head, a shirt of the brightest lemon-colored calico, an abundance of silver ornaments, and, what gave his dress a most fanciful appearance, one legging of blue and the other of bright scarlet. I was not ignorant that this peculiar feature in his toilet indicated a heart suffering from the tender passion.
'Rotten shot! snapped Grimball, as the shell, sailing well over the mast top, plunged into the sea two hundred yards or more beyond. 'Hard aport! he shouted, and the 'Maid' came spinning round almost as smartly as a sailing dinghy. Next minute she and her consort were legging it southwards at the very top of their speed.
"Try and tell them at Ft. Henry," Isaac said simply. There was a little cracking of dried wood and then a narrow tongue of red flame darted up from the pile of fagots and licked at the buckskin fringe on the prisoner's legging.
Launcelot instantly ran out of the room at top speed, while Holmes and Tooter wrestled around for a moment; then the former jerked himself away and chased out into the corridor after me, and up the stairway, where I had started to pursue the recreant Launcelot. "Here, get out of the way, Watson, and let somebody run that can run!" he yelled, as he overtook me, legging it up four steps at a time.
Gaspar, foremost of the trio, has got his barrel through the branches, and, seeing that the rheas are now within bullet-range, is about to blaze away at the one nearest, which chances to be the cock bird, when the latter, suddenly elevating its head, and uttering a loud hiss succeeded by a snort, as from a badly-blown trumpet, turns tail and makes off over the plain; its mate turning simultaneously, and legging it alongside.
Moreover, he was following the trail of an army by the uncheerful signs in its wake the débris of the last night's camp empty cans, bits of hardtack, crackers, bad odours, and, by and by, odds and ends that the soldiers discarded as the sun got warm and their packs heavy drawers, undershirts, coats, blankets, knapsacks, an occasional gauntlet or legging, bits of fat bacon, canned meats, hardtack and a swarm of buzzards in the path, in the trees, and wheeling in the air and smiling Cubans picking up everything they could eat or wear.
The bushes abounded with similar prongs, one of which had been torn off and pierced the legging of Jack when he was crashing through the tops of the bushes. "Sure there isn't any mistake about that?" asked the youth, feeling as if a mountain were lifted from his shoulders. "There can't be." "Wait a minute!"
The fact is, it was beastly dark in the theatre, and he was legging it sideways for some reason or other, no doubt with the best motives, and unfortunately he happened to stub his toe on the poor old bean." "Then why didn't he say so?" "As far as I could make out, you didn't give him a chance." Miss Silverton wavered. "I always hate going back after I've walked out on a show," she said.
