"When you've roused Sir John, if you ever do rouse him, then you'll have to round up all the towns and villages for twenty miles. It's a pity you can't have Ralph; he would have rounded them for you in no time on his motor-bike." "I am quite capable of rounding them all up myself, thank you." "Well, dear," said Fanny placably, "it'll keep you busy for the next six months, and that'll be nice.
At 4-30 am father was awakened from his slumber with a knock at the door and Corporal Reg Pinnel stood outside with the engine of his motor-bike combination still running to tell me to get up to HQ right away; then off he sped to awaken others.
So me and the marine each grabbed an arm and she sez, 'Mercy, and tried to start a smile. I guess it was pretty hard goin', because the smile didn't get far. "Well, anyway, we kep' right on and passed that stone lion out there and went right through the gates, the boys all marchin' strong and the motor-bike makin' one hell of a noise aft.
Town-hooter announced Zeppelins and excited soldier called up my billets from their beds to go and frighten them off. Pleasant to see superiority of billets over the hooter: that only emitted three blasts. 12.50 a.m. Billets returned with exception of Private Merited, who was retained for sake of his motor-bike. 9 a.m.
"It's perhaps as good a thing as we can do," he asserted, discussing the plan with Will Spencer. "I have a good many of the younger scouts in my especial care and cannot afford to leave camp on a wild goose chase." "Motor-bike carries two," suggested Chick-chick. "Apple go with me?" "Yes. You and Corliss may go. Don't do anything foolish. If you overtake the car get the peddler to stop.
He did think that as this uncontrollable thing had thus rushed up the sky with him it might presently rush down again, but this consideration did not trouble him very much. Essentially his state was wonder. There is no fear nor trouble in balloons until they descend. "Gollys!" he said at last, feeling a need for talking; "it's better than a motor-bike." "It's all right!"
"Thank you," Dick was saying, speaking almost mechanically, "I should like to come very much. It doesn't in the least matter about getting home." Swetenham glanced at him again. "If it comes to that," he said, "I have a motor-bike I could run you in on." The fellow, it suddenly dawned on him, had gone clean off his head about one of the girls.
George of course had had to punish his parents. He had considered it his duty to do so. "The least you can do," he had said discontentedly and menacingly, "the least you can do is to give me a decent motor-bike!" The guilty pair had made amends in the manner thus indicated for them. George gathered from various signs that his stepfather was steadily and rapidly growing richer.
Desmond was in the act of debating whether he would not take the motor-bike, but the cherub's winning way clinched it and he plumped for walking. In the hall he met the housekeeper who told him she wanted to go into Stanning to do some shopping that afternoon. Desmond told her that he himself was going out and would not be back for tea.
A man came across the lawn. Lucy Friend was glad to recognize Geoffrey French, who was a great favourite with her. "You are early!" she said, as they greeted. "I came down by motor-bike. London is hateful, and I was in a hurry to get out of it. Where is Helena?" "Gone to change her dress. She has been riding." Frank mopped his brow in silence for a little.
