A conceit which effectually damped Samoa's courage, like my Viking's, only proof against things tangible. So seeing us bent upon boarding the brigantine; after a hurried over-turning of their chattels, with a view of carrying the most valuable aloft for safe keeping, they secreted what they could; and together made for the fore-top; the man with a musket, the woman with a bag of beads.
Painted girls attended the tables and everywhere was the slopping of beer and the stench of the cigarette. Tom was about to turn away when the sight of a company gathered about a table halted him; and through the smoke his vision leaped and rested upon Louise. There was a rush, an over-turning of a table, the toppling over of a tipsy man, and Tom stood confronting her.
Then all leapt up, over-turning the council-board, and ran out to the battlements to carry on with what courage was left to them a hopeless contest for one more day. Little Duke Jarl remained like a beating heart in the great empty keep. He ran wildly from room to room, calling in rage and desperation on Old Jarl to return and fight.
March got her wet things off, her warm slippers on, and sitting down in the easy chair, drew Amy to her lap, preparing to enjoy the happiest hour of her busy day. The girls flew about, trying to make things comfortable, each in her own way. Meg arranged the tea table, Jo brought wood and set chairs, dropping, over-turning, and clattering everything she touched.
Then, as Carlier was trying to upset the table, Kayerts in desperation made a blind rush, head low, like a cornered pig would do, and over-turning his friend, bolted along the verandah, and into his room. He locked the door, snatched his revolver, and stood panting.
He made towards the litter, over-turning Sir Thomas Wyat, and before any opposition could be offered him, seized the inanimate form of Mabel, and placing her before him on his steed, dashed off as swiftly as he came, and with a burst of loud, exulting laughter. "It is Herne! it is Herne!" burst from every lip. And they all started in pursuit, urging the horses to their utmost speed.
And then amid loud cries, the over-turning of tables and the smashing of glasses, the furious youngster felt himself seized by many hands. But he was a tiger and they could not bear him to the floor. He broke loose and sprawled one man upon the saw-dust.
Could you manage to want me just a little, Lord Taborley? Not for long, you know; only till I've got past the loneliest places till I've begun almost to persuade myself that he may come back. To think that you wanted me would help." Before he could answer, she had sprung to her feet, all but over-turning the lamp. "What's that?" A sharp rat-a-tat-tat had reverberated through the house.
When he had come alongside I grasped the scruff of his neck, and after a considerable struggle, in which I several times came near to over-turning the canoe, I managed to drag him aboard, where he shook himself vigorously and squatted down before me. After emerging from the fiord, I paddled southward along the coast, where presently the lofty cliffs gave way to lower and more level country.
The bull was rushing frantically about, bellowing and snorting and looking in vain for him, and at last, turning his attention to the marquee, he dashed into it, ripping up the canvas and over-turning the table, smashing the dishes, and altogether making a most terrific commotion.
