At last he got close enough, and stooping as far forward as he could reach, popped the green gauze net down upon the grass. The other boys ran breathlessly up, while Mr Inglis drew from his pocket a large-sized pill-box and a pair of forceps, and on coming up to the spot where Philip and the other boys were, he stooped down to secure the prize. "Well, where is it?" said Mr Inglis.
"I hope so," replied Godfrey, without conviction, and went to bed. Presently he descended from his room again, bearing a pill-box in which was enclosed a certain ring that years before he had bought at Lucerne, a ring set with two hearts of turquoise. "I promised not to write," he said, "but you might address this to her. She'll know what it is, for I told her about it." "Yes," said Mrs.
Ungrateful girl, did I breed you to flaunt me to my face? Now for you, pill-box. I will teach you to come kissing honest men's daughters without their leave, and with a curse he rushed at me, stick aloft, to thrash me.
If you take a pill-box to represent the basement floor of a tower-mill, and then put another pill-box two or three sizes larger over it, you have got the circular passage between the two boxes, and have added a round-house to the mill. The round-house is commonly used as a kind of store-room. Abel Lake's windmill had no separate dwelling-house.
What would have been the result none could say, for one of the gamblers had whipped out his gun and with sulphurous oaths was conducting a vigourous demonstration behind the unconscious back of McIvor, when there strolled into the room and through the crowd of men scattering to cover, a tall slim youngster in the red jacket and pill-box cap of that world-famous body of military guardians of law and order, the North West Mounted Police.
The candle was out, and yet the room was full of rolling light. I'll swear I could have seen to read by it, whatever it was. It was no use. I must get up. I struck a light, and in a moment was deep in the composition of a fiery sonnet. It was evidently that which had caused all the phosphorescence. But a sonnet is a mere pill-box. It holds nothing. A mere cockleshell.
The change in tactics necessary to reduce these concrete strongholds was soon appreciated, but troops who had been trained in the older methods were slow, in action, to adopt the new ones requisite. Partly from such a reason the 61st Division scored little success against the pill-box defence, but lack of tangible results was not joined with lack of honest attempts.
To Forsyte imagination that house was now a sort of Chinese pill-box, a series of layers in the last of which was Timothy. One did not reach him, or so it was reported by members of the family who, out of old-time habit or absent-mindedness, would drive up once in a blue moon and ask after their surviving uncle.
"And his Greek " asked McLean, helping on the conversation as far as possible. "His Greek, sir, could be packed in a pill-box." "That does not sound promising. But the best mathematicians are sometimes the worst linguists." "His Greek is better than his mathematics," said Cathro, and he fell into lamentation. "I have had no luck lately," he sighed.
"Yes, so as to have time to go up to the museum first," he replied, but he did not throw away his last find. That was tucked into a pill-box, with the promise that I should see it eat a live worm that night. We turned back and took the side lane which would lead us round by the keeper's cottage. "Let's see what Bob has got stuck up on the barn side," said Mercer.
