"Beautiful! Beautiful! I never saw one so deadly or so malignant before. We are indeed in luck's way. Only a miracle can save her life. Cumberledge, we must proceed to perform the miracle." Sebastian loved such cases. They formed his ideal.
"Luck's against me, hearties, but I'm not the lad to pipe my eye," he exclaimed, in a tone of bravado. "Just give me another chance, and I'll show you who has the fastest pair of heels." The sailors laughed at Dick's sally, and thought him a hearty good fellow, though they did not neglect, for all that, to lash his hands more securely than at first.
They asked him a little time ago why he did not pursue the action brought against you. 'I am not so mad, said he, 'as to take action against my benefactor. You can meet him at my place this very evening. He is a much finer fellow than his brother, and he'll be very glad to see you." "The luck's on my side then, but let us talk of other things.
Peter glanced swiftly from one to the other. His shrewd eyes took in the situation at once. "I'm glad," he said, "real glad. Jim," he went on, "I guess your luck's set in.

"Well, this gits me," exclaimed the old man; "me luck's in, this Christmas, an' no mistake. He must 'a' got the jams early in his spree, or he wouldn't be a-making for me with near a bottleful left. Howsomenever, here goes." Looking round, his eyes lit up with satisfaction as he saw some bits of bark which had been left by a party of strippers who had been getting bark there for the stations.
I knew the old gentleman would leave me something, but I did not know that he had quarrelled with his relatives, and therefore appropriated to me the share originally intended for them. So, you see, I have stepped into luck's way.

Downstairs by the fireside once more, the signs of his late occupation removed, Burns stretched out an arm for his wife.
To us presently cometh Diccon, his blackened face streaked with sweat, hoarse-voiced but hearty: "Aha, Captain Jo your luck's wi' us as ever! Yon curst craft hath her bellyful at last, aye, has she!"
