"You think that we shall have a hard time, Captain Brookfield?" "Yes, I think that is certain, even if Cape Colony keeps quiet, which I am very much afraid it will not do. If it rises, it will take all the strength of England to put it down. Well, I wish you all luck. I can assure you I feel proud of my Johannesburg section, and I shall be glad when you join me."
"Thou, young man, beware thou! and try not thy luck overmuch. We are as many as these trees, and thou canst not prevail over us. Go thy ways free, and leave me what thou canst not help leaving." "Yea, fool," cried Ralph, "and what wilt thou do with these two?" Said the King: "The traitor I will flay, and the woman I will bed."
No he had got to die of thirst, starvation, and vultures, barring miracles of luck and he had never had any good luck for luck existed, undoubtedly, in spite of mealy-mouthed platitude-makers and twaddle about everything being pre-arranged and ordained with care and deliberation by a kind paternal Providence. And what luck he had had all his life! Born fated! Had he fainted again or slept?
"By the way, my name is Lawrence." They shook hands and walked off. "Well, that's something to liven things up a bit," said Frank. "Yes; but I didn't know they were doing such things in time of war." "Neither did I; but it seems they are." It was late that evening when Lawrence again approached the two lads. "You're in luck," he said to Frank. "We are still one man shy on our revolver team.
That will depend upon our luck in acquiring a mode and style, and habit of thought, and power of expression of our own, which for many reasons we may never have. An American new writes as much like an Englishman as he can and the more servile the imitation, the better we like him as a woman writes like a man as nearly as she possibly can, for he is the standard.
She turned it over. There was some writing on it. It said: " This is my last five hundred dollar bill all that is left of my fortune. This is to remind me that if I don't make good use of this I don't deserve any more luck. It is make or break with me now! Which will it be?" The girls were silent for a moment or two after reading this strange message that had come to them in such a queer manner.
Annie knew nothing of this intention, but delay had made her bold, and, as usual, she had great faith in her own good luck. On Saturday morning Sir John contributed vastly to the excitement and interest of the party by a certain piece of news which he read aloud to them from a letter he had just received from Mrs. Bernard Temple.
"It may be, Sir," replied Martin, "but I have seen so many young fellows who had been shipped out to Canada because they were failures at home. I have seen them in very hard luck." "And what about the fit?" inquired Miss Brodie. "They get credit for every ounce that's in them." "But that is so in Scotland as well." "Pardon me, Miss Brodie, hardly.
"What did you want from me?" "Haven't you heard the news? Don't you know what good luck is mine?" "What is it?" "Tomorrow I end my days as a Marionette and become a boy, like you and all my other friends." "May it bring you luck!" "Shall I see you at my party tomorrow?" "But I'm telling you that I go tonight." "At what time?" "At midnight." "And where are you going?"
Whereat the jailer spoke again, and with a lighter heart. "I am glad you're in luck this time, for you are. You don't know who is coming to take the charge, come, I mean, for they are all in, and settled. That's Montier, the little girl's father. He is a drummer, and a little of everything else. It's his horn that you hear sometimes.
