They did so want to stay and see the Peacock, and they thought the Ducklings and Goslings were much luckier than they. The Geese were delighted with the newcomer, and hoped he would be quite friendly with them. They wished he were a swimmer, but of course they could tell with one look that he was not.
It was at this time that Tom Tripp, looking in at the window, got an idea of the situation, but he was unobserved. The river bank was near, and he ran down to it, hoping, but not expecting, to see some one who could interfere with the impudent robber. We have already seen that he was luckier than he anticipated. Meanwhile Mrs.
He had pulled rubble down over the face of the bank of richness, and eyes less keen than Casey's would have passed it by without a second glance. The Little Woman knelt and picked out half a dozen small nuggets and stood up, holding them out to Casey, her eyes shining. "Casey Ryan, here's the end of your rainbow! And you're luckier than most of us; you've got your pot o' gold."
They had captured a horse and had found quaint weapons on the bodies of the dead Arabs and an interesting kind of tobacco. It was evening now and they talked over the fight, made jokes about their luckier shots, smoked their new tobacco and sang; altogether it was the jolliest evening they'd had. But Shard alone on the quarter-deck paced to and fro pondering, brooding and wondering.
Next morning, July 10th, he crosses Dresden Bridge, comes streaming through the City; and takes shelter with the Reichsfolk near there: towards Plauen Chasm; the strongest ground in the world; hardly strong enough, it appears, in the present emergency.

Yes, sir, took up and carted off to the lockup. Whew! that would have looked well in the papers, wouldn't it? And my niece and nephew.... Jerushy! I'm mightily obliged to you. How did you handle that policeman so easily?"
Pons, luckier than the art museums of Dresden and Vienna, possessed a frame by the famous Brustoloni the Michael Angelo of wood-carvers. Mlle. de Marville naturally asked for explanations of each new curiosity, and was initiated into the mysteries of art by Brunner. The private view lasted for three hours. Brunner offered his arm when Cecile went downstairs.
He was picked up after the affair, and decently interred side by side with two officers who met their deaths in his company. This was the first time he was under fire, as it was the last; but there is a fatality in those things. This young Irishman, Taylor, was luckier than some of his fellows in one respect. Short as he had been in the service, he had attracted the notice of Don Carlos.
It is hard for a woman especially a young woman coming among strangers." She glanced down the table to where Maude sat talking to Ham. "She has an air about her, a great deal of self-possession." I, too, had noticed this, with pride and relief. For I knew Maude had been nervous. "You are luckier than you deserve to be," Nancy reminded me.
Never was anything luckier. Paine was, without knowing it, a born journalist. His capacity for writing on the spur of the moment was endless, and his delight in doing so boundless. He had no difficulty for 'copy', though in those days contributors were few. He needed no contributors. He was 'Atlanticus'; he was 'Vox Populi'; he was 'Aesop.
