This wretched man, then, was no escaped convict; but he was undoubtedly a crazy being, who, having fled from some retreat, thought to elude recapture by hiding in this lonely place! Max hardly knew what to think. The change was so complete that he felt as though he must alter his plans in accordance with the new line-up.
Summed up, it is this: Mutual preference by or for the members of either of the great European alliances automatically creates a discrimination against those outside! Whether we face the Teuton or the Allies' group or both in the grand economic line-up, we shall have to fight for commercial privileges that once knew no ban.
He was skating on the ice to-day; but absolutely declined to take part in the game; though Mr. Leonard, wanting to make the opposition as strong as possible so as to put us to our best licks, went over and talked with him, trying to coax Nick to join the line-up. What makes him act that way, Hugh? One would think Nick'd be glad of the chance to play."
Dingwell lifted his hat. "Good-evenin', Miss Rutherford." She nodded curtly. Her intelligent eyes passed from his to those of Fox. A question and an answer, neither of them in words, flashed forth and back between Beulah Rutherford and the little man. Dave took a hand in the line-up as they fell into place beside each other. "Hold on, Fox. You keep to the left of the road.
Again the line-up was made for the snapback. The midshipmen players were now justifiably nervous, though they gave no sign of the fact. Again the signal was given. Holmes received the ball and started. The whole Army line veered to the left. The Navy moved to mass in support of Darrin and Dalzell.
Andy Miller and the two coaches had arranged the line-up the evening before. There had been some indecision as to filling one or two positions for the start of the game, and the line-up as it was presented when the whistle blew held several surprises for the school. Here it is, and the Claflin list as well: BRIMFIELD. CLAFLIN.
He was all kinds of a fool; let a few slick ones seduce him with fizz-water and oysters on the half-shell that's the kind of a weak sister he was. He got on the wrong side of the rustler line-up you know all about that, I reckon? Fierce old days, those. We didn't know anything about forest rangers or game wardens in them days." The stranger's tone was now that of a man quite certain of himself.
Knowing well Paul's impatience under discipline, he feared that the latter would give way to anger and mutiny on the spot. But Paul did as directed, though with bad grace, and contented himself with muttered words as he threw the pigskin to a waiting end and went back to his place. Soon afterward they were called away for a ten-minute line-up.
There were those who shook their heads dismally when they saw Nick the trouble-maker in the line-up. Previous experiences warned them that the game was very likely to break up in a big row, for such had been the fate of many a rivalry when rough-and-ready Nick Lang entered the lists.
It became largely a line-up of political parties; Squeaks had made a deal with the party in power at Springfield, and gave excellent guarantees of substantial support both electoral and financial before the keen-eyed myrmidons of Shay brought to the boss the news that Squeaks had turned traitor.
