Someone was inside, someone attempting to be very quiet. I was not overly surprised. Sooner or later the trouble had had to come into the open. I looked up the passage, dim in the green glow of the nightlights. There was no one in sight. I listened. There were three voices, too faint to identify.
Dick had just finished one letter and was starting the next when of a sudden he found himself caught from behind. His arms were pinned to his side, his pistol wrenched from his grasp, and a hand that was not overly clean was clapped over his mouth. "Not a sound, Rover, if you know when you are well off!" said a voice into his ear.
In the new environment, positive but neither overly elated or ebullient, he felt that the energy exuded around him belied the gravity of the consequences of action, as if the strutting movements of youth were not dances in a graveyard, when in fact the whole Earth was nothing but a necropolis, and any laughter which he heard seemed to scoff at his new disfigurement.
McKenzie, however, had no such scruples, and accepted a fat cigar without hesitation. Hal found himself in conversation with young Captain Rentzel, son of the chief of the secret service. "I understand you have spent some years in America?" he questioned. "Why, yes," returned Hal. "Do you like the country?" "Not overly much," replied Hal with a shrug.
However, as there were but two rooms, not overly stocked with furniture, the gloom was not a serious obstacle, so that in less than ten minutes they emerged once more into the open bearing their spoils Westcott, a slab of bacon and a small frying-pan; Brennan, a paper sack of corn meal, with a couple of specimens of canned goods.
This created a very comfortable springing feel, for they gave enough bounce to render the surface pliable, but not overly soft. Taking the bowie knife again, I thrust it into the couch, and cut away the cushioning to reveal the support. To my great relief, I found that it was constructed in a manner similar to the other couches that I had seen.
So, Gude be wi' you, and dinna be overly downhearted, when ye see how wonderfully ye are ta'en care o'." Being thus cherished, cheered, and exhorted, by the worthy miller of Inverkip, I went on my way with a sense of renewed hope dawning upon my heart.
The bailie was, at all times, overly ready to claught at an alarm; and when he heard the news, he went straight to the council-room, and sending for the rest of the council, ordered the alien enemy, as he called the forlorn Frenchman, to be brought before him.
"Sure," he returned gruffly, "we're follyin' it all down that Number Wan." "What 's the nature of the ore body?" "A bit low grade, wid a thrifle of copper, an' the vein is n't overly tick." "How far have you had to cut across here before striking color?" "'Bout thirty fate o' rock work." "Hike on, you thief," commanded the engineer, his jaw setting threateningly.
"Wide?" sez I. "Wide, only just begins to give you a hint at it. I ain't filled with the lust of vanity, nor I ain't overly much given to tootin' my own horn; but in my humble an' modest way I guarantee to be able to do anything on this good, green earth 'at don't require a book edication." "Can I trust you?" sez she, lookin' into my face mighty searchin'.
