The Wishbone foreman declared profanely that hay was going to be worth a dollar a pound to them, before spring. They were all sorry for Manley, and told him he was "sure playing tough luck," but they couldn't sell any hay, that was certain. "But we must manage somehow to fix the place so we can live on it this winter," Val would insist, when he told her how every move seemed blocked.
Tom's victory as Captain Manley had predicted quite won the hearts of the whole regiment, and the nicknames of "Sir Tom," and "Sir Peter" which had been given to them in jest after Tom's speech about Sir Arthur Wellesley were now generally applied to them.
The length of that fence was appalling in a vague, wordless way, Val unconsciously drew closer to her husband when she looked at it, and shivered in spite of the midsummer heat. "You're getting tired." Manley put his arm around her and held her there. "We're over half-way now. A little longer and we'll be home." Then he bethought him that she might want some preparation for that home-coming.
Fifteen and a half and a tie, if they've got any that's decent. And hurry! Such a triple-three-star fool as I am ought to be taken out and shot." He went on cursing himself audibly and bitterly, even after Kent had hurried out. He was sober now was Manley Fleetwood sober and self-condemnatory and penitent.
Mrs. Ellis deposed that the prisoner was the person who robbed the coach, and that she observed him follow it when they came out of town. Mrs. Manley deposed also to his being the person who robbed them, and William Coffee, a negro boy, who was behind the coach, swore positively to his face.
For that reason, when Manley shouted to her the news of the fire as he galloped past the shack, and told her to have something for the men to eat when the fire was out, she never thought of demurring, or explaining to him that there was scarcely any wood, and that she could not cook a meal without fuel.
Before night the whole British army was in retreat. "What a horrible scene of confusion," Tom remarked, as they marched into the town of Coimbra next day. "Confusion!" Captain Manley said; "it is enough to drive a commander-in-chief out of his mind.
Dash it, I don't like to think of two Etonians in a band," "You are all very good," Captain Manley said, "but from what I see of the boys they will go their own way.
"It does seem as if you might call me Arline," she complained irrelevantly. "We're comin' to that don't you worry." "Is it a piano?" "My lands, no! You don't need a fiddle and a piano both, do you? Man, what'd you rather have for a weddin' present?" Manley, upon the front seat beside Hank, gave his shoulders an impatient twitch. "Fifty thousand dollars," he replied glumly.
I hit it a little too far back for instant death, but I followed it up and found it down and helpless, and soon secured it. I hauled this one down the mountain, and the other boys had the two others secure by this time. McMahon was so elated at my success that he said: "Manley, if I could shoot as you do I would never want any better business."
