Foolhardy man, to suppose, because we have constables in the streets of big cities, we have dismissed the highwayman to limbo. And here he is, and he will cost you fifty times the sum you would have laid out to keep him at a mile's respectful distance!
When Caesar perceived that Afranius declined coming to an engagement, he resolved to encamp at somewhat less than half a mile's distance from the very foot of the mountain; and that his soldiers whilst engaged in their works, might not be terrified by any sudden attack of the enemy, or disturbed in their work, he ordered them not to fortify it with a wall, which must rise high, and be seen at a distance, but draw, on the front opposite the enemy, a trench fifteen feet broad.
Each gave himself a rub with one of the dry shirts, and they were soon dressed in the double suits and stockings. "That is better," Fergus said cheerfully. "Now for a run along the towing path." A quarter of a mile's run and circulation was restored, and all felt comparatively comfortable.
"I am never without some chemical matches of my own manufacture, so that as you have the candles, that can be no bar to our going on a once." "That is fortunate," said Henry. "Very," added Marchdale; "for it seems a mile's hard walking for me, or at least half a mile from the hall. Let us now push on." They did push on, all four walking at a brisk pace.
The mill village, as we call it, is a little collection of cottages with one or two houses of a somewhat more pretentious character, which gather round the wheel-barrow factory down the river, a good mile's walk from the church. It was a bright afternoon in October. The woods were in the glory of their radiant death, the air was crisp and keen.
Dutton explained that there was only a quarter of a mile's walk from the station; that return tickets would be furnished at a tariff of fourpence a head; and that there would be trains at 1.15 and 7.30. 'How hungry the children will be. 'They will eat all the way. That's the worst of this sort of outing. They eat to live and live to eat. 'At least they don't eat at church, said Nuttie.
Beauchamp! And then he walked firmly out of Romfrey oakwoods, and, at a mile's distance from her, related to his countess Rosamund that the burial was over without much silly ceremony, and that she needed to know nothing of it whatever. Rosamund's face awoke him. It was the face of a chalk-quarry, featureless, hollowed, appalling. The hour was no later than three in the morning.
These facts ascertained, the Sirdar of the Nawaub took up his own encampment within sight of that of the Begum, but at about half a mile's distance, despatching to the city a messenger to announce to the Prince Tippoo, as soon as he should arrive, that he had come hither with the English Vakeel.
The subsequent events which we witnessed led me to recall with attention what the shrewdness of Bailie Jarvie suggested in his proverbial expression, that "Forth bridles the wild Highlandman." About half a mile's riding, after we crossed the bridge, placed us at the door of the public-house where we were to pass the evening.
When I came down from my apartment in the tree, I perceived the ship's boat two miles distant on my right-hand, lying on shore, as the waves had cast her. I thought to have got to her; but there being an inlet of water of about half a mile's breadth between it and me, I returned again towards the ship, as hoping to find something for my more immediate subsistence.
