That Old Man is planning something against you. Remember that night on the yardarm! Remember the lady's warning! Look at Nils! I tell you, we'll have to fight! You can depend upon me, I'll back you to the limit in anything. So will the squareheads you know how desperate and bitter they are. So will the stiffs they are just waiting for you to say the word. Every man-jack for'ard will follow you!"
This was received with three cheers, and before I left the 'Molly' every man-jack of them had disappeared under the table.
We all dine at one o'clock now, that I may rout up every man-Jack of them." The Major sounded a steam-guard's whistle, and led me off in the rapidly vanishing wake of his hungry workmen. Sir Montague Hockin, to my great delight, was still away from Bruntsea. If he had been there, it would have been a most awkward thing for me to meet him, or to refuse to do so.
Chris blew his whistle, and the cheer of the whites and the warcry of the two Zulus burst out at the top of their voices. "Give it to them hot, lads!" Chris shouted, for the benefit of the Boers. "Kill every man-jack of the scoundrels!" And at once nineteen rifles opened upon the dark figures clustered round the house. "Use your magazines," Chris shouted again. "Don't let a man of them get off."
"It was a legion of devils which struck us. Who ever heard of Indians doing such a job? Why, they would have finished every man-jack of us. It's a warning to us to get out of this place and leave that girl alone. I said so at the first when I saw those marks upon Seth Lupin's throat. There's something d uncanny about this, and I'm done with it. Let's get away before anything else happens."
"Not at all," said René de Montigny," we are all the same at the core, every man-jack and woman-jill of us, hungering, thirsting, lusting, just after the same fashion. 'Tis only the coat that counts." "'Tis you who lie now," grunted Tabarie. "There's no gold tissue in the world that would make you as cunning as François.
Go, child! every man-jack is off after Black Donald, and there is nobody but you and Condiment and the housemaids to take care of me. Stop! look for my stick first. Where did that black demon throw it? Demmy! I'd as well be without my legs!" Capitola picked up the old man's cane and hat and put the one on his head and the other in his hand, and then hastened to find Mrs.
This made assurance a certainty, every man-jack of the crew being cock- a-hoop with excitement, when, after a lot of signalling between the two cruisers, and the Merlin's gig bringing her captain alongside, he being junior to `old Hankey Pankey, the two of us sailed off in company just before sunset.
To-night when that thing was swelling up like a great tidal wave of music rolling in, I worked out a big idea; I'm going to sell all the mills and factories back to the millers for our stock, and when I own every dollar of our stock, I'm going to double the price of it to them and sell it back to them; and if they haggle about it, I'll build a new mill across the track from every man-jack who tries to give me any funny business I'll show 'em.
I liked his hearty manner and cheery voice, but, dear me, I was "Dolly" to every man-Jack on board after that, and to all the others as well. So this dear little man once said to me: "Oh, Dolly, how I wish you could tell me about things under the sea! I know if you could only talk my way, you could tell stories by the hour, and what pleasure it would be to listen."
