But all he heard, in the course of the ensuing five minutes, was the voice of the trunk-line operator advising him, to begin with, that she was ready to put him through to Westminster, then maddeningly punctuating the buzz and whine of the empty wire with her call of a talking doll "Are you theah?... Are you theah?... Are you theah?"
There in the doorway stood Major Cowan, and by his side was a neatly uniformed, diminutive member of the Royal Flying Corps. The men scrambled hastily to their feet. Yancey upset his chair with a clatter as he unwound his long, thin legs from around the rungs. Major Cowan, always maddeningly correct in military courtesies, turned upon Hampden with a withering look.
Jan did his best, but it clearly did seem to him that the Master's pace was maddeningly slow; and so, to make up for this, Jan tried the experiment of covering just six times as much ground himself, apparently with the idea that hurrying ought to be done, and that if he could not make the Master do it the next best thing was to put in a double share himself. So Jan led the way downward in loops.
We suspect this was only one, perhaps a minor one, of the things that he was; we suspect that one of the minor things that Christ did was to found Christianity. But the vast practical work of Francis is assuredly not to be ignored, for this amazingly unworldly and almost maddeningly simple minded infant was one of the most consistently successful men that ever fought with this bitter world.
Closer, sweeping through the wood, Vic heard the crash of the pursuit, yet the other was maddeningly slow of speech. "You stay here, partner, and sit over there. I'm borrowin' your gun" a swift hand appropriated it from Vic's holster and his own fingers were too paralyzed to resist "and don't you try to ride my hoss unless you want them teeth in your throat. Lie quiet and tie up your hurt.
"Understand, this is no nice place to be without grub, for it's liable to storm any hour, and storms last at this season." "Now don't get cold feet." Harkness could be maddeningly patronizing when he chose. "Leave it to me. I'll take you a short cut, and we'll eat lunch in a cabin to-morrow noon."
But they kept whirling round maddeningly in my half delirious brain, while the din still raged without, though it seemed to be abating. The remaining lamp had flickered out, but sufficient light came now through the gaps in the broken roof to enable me to see about me.
"I have enough for the present." "How did it all happen?" "It was part of a military operation," said Jeanne. Perhaps later she might tell Aunt Morin about Doggie. But now the thing was too sacred. Aunt Morin would question, question maddeningly, until the rainbow of her fairy-tale was unwoven. The salient fact of the recovery of her fortune should be enough for Aunt Morin. It was.
Trent's impressed by her, he inclines to the theory that she has something on her mind, and if this is so she should get rid of it, tell it to somebody in short, tell it to me. I know she's fond of me, but she's so maddeningly self-contained, and at moments when I look at her she baffles me, she makes me feel like an atom.
It was narrow, maddeningly narrow, almost small enough to attempt a leap across to the safety of the thickets on the farther side, but the force of the water alone was enough to warn the bravest swimmer away, and here and there, like teeth in the mouth of the shark, jagged stones cut the surface with white foam streaking out below them; as if to prove its power, even while Dan turned South along the bank a dead trunk shot down the stream and split on one of the Asper's teeth.
