Chester was Doctor Burns's close friend, but she was too accustomed to keep, her lips closed over her employers affairs to give information, even to Chester, except under protest. "Hm! Well, I believe I'll sit up for him and help him off. A one-armed man needs an attendant. Don't stay up, Miss Mathewson. I'll take any message he may leave for you."
"One-armed Peter," as he was commonly called among his tribesmen, had neither the means nor the inclination to deviate much from the traditionary usages of his tribe, and was found kneeling, or, rather, "sitting man-fashion," as the vernacular Micmac hath it, although we call it "tailor-fashion," within a circular, fort-like enclosure, some twelve feet in circumference, and with walls about three feet high.
She should have married you, Patrick. You would have ridden her." "Ah now, don't destroy me with envy and desires," says Mr. O'Connor. "But, sure, there was another, a noble fat girl. Will she be bespoke?" "She belongs to the one-armed hero." "Maybe she could do with another. There's enough of her for two. Oh, come away, sir, before I danger my soul."
"They are wolves! Aim! Fire!" A volley was fired, and the wolves fled. Konigsmarck rode through the smoke, and now saw a one-armed Imperialist standing on the chimney, which was all that was left of a burnt cottage. "Come down, and let us look at you," he said. The maimed man clambered down with his single arm, showing incredible agility.
"Well, that may be," said the one-armed hero, rather crushed by Doe's weighty lecture. "But you're going to Mudros first in your transport, and you'll probably die of dysentery there." "Good Lord," said I. We selected the ward where we would have our beds when we came down wounded, and the particular pretty sister who should nurse us; and went out into the dazzling sun.
The door opened, revealing the one-armed proprietor entering the house; revealing a group of men and women, bare-headed, as they had rushed to the hotel at the sound of the shooting; revealing Taterleg coming down the steps, his box of chewing gum under his arm. Wood fastened the door back in its accustomed anchorage.
Susan was spreading jam on a slice of bread-and-butter for the one-armed Nick. "I dare say you don't remember me playing the barrel organ all down Regent Street that day, do you?" said Miss Ingate. "Oh, yes; quite well. You were magnificent!" answered Jane, with blue eyes sparkling. "Well, though I only just saw you I was so busy I should remember you anywhere, Miss Foley," said Miss Ingate.
Are the people not grumbling about what has been done for the soldiers? Do they not complain about our pensions? A few years more, however, and all of us cripples, one-armed and one-legged and those who are wholly armless and legless, will have passed away out of sight. The recognition now is not to the victors, but to the vanquished.
"For any but a mean person," Colonel John continued, drawing himself up to his full height, "finding that he had insulted one who could not meet him on even terms one who could not resent the insult in the manner intended would have deemed it all one as if he had insulted a one-armed man, or a blind man, and would have set himself right by an apology." At that word Payton found his voice.
The man who designed it was another Robinson Crusoe, and his workman a man Friday. A one-armed man with a shaggy beard was sorting out rags and throwing them into the baskets around him. "Don't step on my dogs," he cried; "come nearer." She did as she was told. "Are you the owner of the Guillot Field?" she asked. "That's me!" replied the man. In a few words she told him what she wanted.
