"What are your engagements?" she asked, taking up a book from the table. "Eleventh, Newcastle; 12th, Nottingham; 13th and 14th, Plymouth. Let me see, that will bring you home on Monday, the 15th, and will leave us three clear days to get things straight; that will do capitally." "And you'll be sure to see that the books are carefully moved," said Raeburn. "I can't have the markers displaced."
But this time it was neither an ante nor a stake that he threw away, but a mere marker in the game that he who held so many markers would not miss. As a night, it eclipsed anything that Dawson had ever seen. It was Daylight's desire to make it memorable, and his attempt was a success. A goodly portion of Dawson got drunk that night.
"I. O. U.'s for various amounts and all initialed for several hundred thousands. Hello, here's a bunch with an 'F. That must mean Forbes thousands of dollars worth." The markers were fastened together with a slip in order to separate them from the others, evidently. Garrick was hastily totalling them up and they seemed to amount to a tidy sum. "How can he ever pay?"
But finally, by making himself think in German, he began to see a light ahead. And after an hour's hard work he gave a cry of exultation. "I believe I've got it!" he cried. "Listen and see if this doesn't sound reasonable!" "Go ahead!" said Jack and Dick, eagerly. "Here it is," said Harry. "Petrol just arranged. Supply on way. Reach Bray Friday. Von Wedel may come. Red light markers arranged.
You make the dealer with blood little bit warm in face." Why he lean forward? Why his face very much quiet? Why his eyes very much bright? Why dealer warm with blood a little bit in the face? Why all men very quiet? the man with yellow markers? the man with white markers? the man with red markers? Why nobody talk? Because very much money. Because last turn." "How do you know it is the last turn?"
If a marker wanders off you can safely figure that a lot of those around him have gone too. Roughly speaking we call it a hundred." "But when you have such big bands of sheep and they are moving about I should not think the markers would be in the same place twice," persisted Donald, determined to fathom this puzzling problem. "You dinna ken sheep, laddie!
Gordon left his torch unlighted, and moved along; there was a little illumination from the phosphorescent markers at some of the corners, and from the stars. He could just make his way without marking himself with a light. Damn it, he should have hired a few of the younger bums from Mother Corey's. Here he couldn't hear footsteps.
I looked over to size Sandy's chips and I could see four or five markers that go a hundred apiece. "I admire your roguish manner that don't fool any one," I says; "but if we was to drink the half of Sandy's winnings, even at your robber prices, we'd all be submerged to the periscope. It looks to me," I goes on, "like the bazaar-robbing genius is not exclusively a male attribute or tendency."
At last, remarking that I must be fatigued, he rose, and kissed me with a solemn tenderness, placed his hand upon what I now perceived to be a large Bible, with two broad silk markers, red and gold, folded in it the one, I might conjecture, indicating the place in the Old, the other in the New Testament.
In the sunny patches seedlings were sprouting, many little bushy pines were growing, and the saplings had sufficient room and light to prosper. I commented to Dick upon the difference between this part of Penetier and the hideous slash we had left.
