I only wanted a word with you about something that does consarn us both a mite. You ain't got no objection to that, have you?" The show of apparent humility on the part of the Captain made it possible for the Elder to remain, providing the conference should be made brief. "You ain't no more anxious to get it over than I be. We'll step right in here in Mack's cabin, if you don't mind."
Over the crossing thus secured far in Mack's rear, the French poured in dense array, and marched south and south-west towards the back of the Austrian positions, while Ney's corps marched to seize the chief bridges over the Danube. A study of the processes of Mack's brain at this time is not without interest. It shows the danger of intrusting the fate of an army to a man who cannot weigh evidence.
"I want to know a lot more before I break up my happy home." Mack's voice was dry. "In the meantime you fellows make yourselves comfortable. Come on, Curly. Let's get back to work!" "Mr. Curly," said Jonas, "will you let me see that nugget?" "Sure, Jonas, here it is!" Jonas turned it over on his brown palm. "You mean to say you pick up gold like that, down here?"
I tied up Asop, took my fishing tackle and my gun, and went down to the quay. I was quite unusually troubled in mind. "When will the mail-packet be in?" I asked a fisherman there. "The mail-packet? In three weeks' time," he answered. "I am expecting my uniform," I said. Then I met one of Herr Mack's assistants from the store.
If I was you, Jim, I'd just cancel that mortgage. The interest has more than paid it back these years. Mack's estate otter be clear." The man before whom great ones had been made to tremble because of financial power, now meekly nodded assent to a sea captain. "And we'll just include everything you owe Mack in the papers Harold is going to draw up?" "I'll be only too glad to do as you say.
He trusted to a river line that could easily be turned by his foes. As soon as Austria declared against him, his position on the Elbe was fully as perilous as Mack's lines of the Iller at Ulm.
On the very day when Mack's army was piling arms at the feet of its conqueror, a blow had been struck by Bob Loveday and his comrades which eternally shattered the enemy's force by sea.
Hasty preparations, rash plans, and, above all, Mack's fatal ingenuity in reading his notions into facts these were the causes of a disaster which ruined the chances of the allies. The Archduke Charles, who had been foiled by Masséna's stubborn defence, was at once recalled from Italy in order to cover Vienna; and, worst of all, the Court of Berlin now delayed drawing the sword.
Mack's nether lip quivered, and she burst into tears. 'You're enough to provoke a saint, Mrs. Macnamara, said the woman in black, rather savagely, though coldly enough. 'Why you're on the point of fortune, as it seems to me. Here poor Mrs. Mack's inarticulate lamentations waxed more vehement.
But it was a fatal move for Mack, and overcome by numbers that crowded upon him, he went down fighting wildly and bearing the Frenchman beneath him. The Glengarry line was broken. Black Hugh saw Mack's peril, and knew that it meant destruction to all. With a wilder cry than usual, "Glengarry!
