He's a braw Hoon an' A'm encouraged by the fine things that the baron said aboot ma poetry. Ech! A've got a graund vairse in ma heid for Mr. Muller's buryin'! Hae ye a seegair aboot ye, Captain Blackie? A' gave ma case to the Duke of Argyle an' he has no' retairned it." There arrived one day at the aerodrome a large packing-case addressed "Sergeant Tam."
As he approached the window, they were both busily engaged, with their backs towards him, in cording up the packing-case which contained the metal plates. They rose and faced him as he stepped into the room. The act of robbery which he found them coolly perpetrating in broad daylight, instantly set his irritable temper in a flame.
Lord Ramelton's appearance, his voice, and the coronet on the panel, all taken together, were convincing evidence that he was not one of "these fellows," and might safely be allowed to pass. Unfortunately there was something in the car which Willie did not in the least expect to find there. In the front of the tonneau was a large packing-case.
But it was cold, in face of all this rain-soaked clay; cold blue-grey clouds drove across a washed-out sky; and he still felt unwell. Returning to his living-room where a small American stove was burning, he prepared for a quiet evening. In a corner by the fire stood an old packing-case. He lifted the lid and thrust his hand in: it was here he kept his books.
Suppose now," he added excitedly, speaking by fits and starts, as if he were thinking aloud, "suppose we rent a cottage by the month. A householder can buy a packing-case without remark.
Boy and man held the pistols ready for use. They did not mean to give up without a final struggle at close quarters. But just as one of the soldiers took hold of a big packing-case that hid the pair from view, there was a commotion in the church proper, followed by the discharge of several rifles. Three Texans had made a last stand, and were fighting back to back.
"Pack the papers as quickly as you can I am going to town this afternoon. Whatever can't be packed before then, you can bring up to me tomorrow." A tired girl lifted her head from the packing-case before which she was kneeling. "I'll do my best, Miss Marvell But I'm afraid it will be impossible to finish to-day."
"I wish Father was here," said Phyllis; "he'd get it open in two shakes. What are you kicking me for, Bobbie?" "I wasn't," said Roberta. Just then the first of the long nails in the packing-case began to come out with a scrunch. Then a lath was raised and then another, till all four stood up with the long nails in them shining fiercely like iron teeth in the candle-light.
Basil Hill sends us a packing-case of exquisite oranges every summer, and when she comes to see Mamma she almost always brings us a surprise packet last time it was five pounds of the most beautiful sweets in Rundle Street, and the time before it was all Miss Alcott's books." "But if everybody was the same, people wouldn't have to give you things," said Mollie. "You'd have them yourself."
Sure enough, a box was on the other side a rough packing-case, resembling that I had just broken through but whether of like contents had yet to be determined. It would not take long to tell what it contained. I once more exerted my strength, and succeeded in pressing the loose board quite into a horizontal position, so that it no longer obstructed me.
