One could never tell what was likely to come into one's tent at night, even with armed askaris patrolling the camp all night long. One cold night, before Little Wanderobo Dog had come to live with us, I was awakened by a curious rustle of the tent flaps. I listened and then watched the tent flap for some moments, thinking that the wind might have been responsible.
"I want to donate something to a cause that employs a man like you. It is a good to the country at large to have such men patrolling the deserts. I never thought there was much excuse for Home Missions, but after this I shall give it my hearty approval. It makes the country safer for tourists. Come, tell me your name and I'll write out a check. I'm in earnest."
Only for an instant, however, was Andy daunted. He suddenly realized that he could get more promptly to the manager or the ringmaster from the rear. He ran around the big white mountain of canvas till he reached the performers' tent. Patrolling outside of it was a club-armed watchman. "Please let me in," said Andy hurriedly.

Then a Russian battleship, white and glistening, passed at full steam on its way to the Baltic. "Bad!" said the South American passengers regretfully. "Very bad!

You may chance to hear the cry of 'Oranges and nuts, or of 'Cod live cod, and you may be entertained by a band of musicians in a gaily-coloured van patrolling for the purpose of advertising the merits of something or other which is to be had for nothing at all, or the next thing to it, if you can prevail upon yourself to go and fetch it.
He requested that the charge brought against the accused should be laid before him. A sheriff cannot sign a death-warrant before he has heard the defense of the accused. The conrector, acting as secretary, then recited to him both the accusation and the defense. A militiaman Valentine knew him very well, for he was a butcher's apprentice came home drunk one night from patrolling.
The Middlesex had been trying to beat down this fire with their own rifle fire; we contented ourselves with sitting tight and, by careful patrolling, watching for the first signs of an attack. On such a night as this poor F was out on patrol when the rapid fire opened up, and we nearly struck him off the company strength.
And this, in spite of a universal inference that he was dead, and that his body was flavouring whitebait below bridge. This did not interfere with a belief on the part of the crew of the patrolling boat known to Michael owing to a popular chant of boys of his own age as "two blackbeetles and one water-rat," that his corpse would float up one day near the place of his disappearance.
It was chilly there on the bridge, with the prospect too entrancing not to remain even if one froze. But here stepped in naval preparedness with thick, short coats of llama wool. "Served out to all the men last winter, when we were in the thick of it patrolling," the commander explained. "You'll not get cold in that!" "And yourself?" was suggested to the commander.
