It was pluckily done, and when they rejoined the rest of the party few would have suspected from her insouciant manner that she and Eliot Coventry had been engaged upon anything more heart-searching than a botanical discussion.
As soon as he missed the cage he very pluckily went after it, being able to keep sight of it by the fitful gleams of moon-light, and he was just in time to rescue the poor little surviving canary. We could not help laughing at the recital of all the mischief which had been done, but still it is very tiresome, and the garden looks, if possible, more wretched than ever.
There are places on the road Well! the Boches are all stirred up and they are likely to drop a shell or two almost anywhere, you know." "You came through it, didn't you?" she demanded pluckily. "By the skin of my teeth," he returned. "You're trying to scare me." "Honest to goodness I'm not. They sent me over for the supplies and somebody to attend to them."
But just as she was entering the house Zara, with only her reddened eyes to show that she had been crying at all, came out on the porch. "I'm ever so ashamed of myself, Miss Eleanor," she said, smiling pluckily. "I suppose you think I'm an awful cry-baby, but I was just feeling bad about my father and everything, and I couldn't seem to help it." Bessie looked at Zara in astonishment.
"Then you can stay where you are," he declared, trying to close the door. "You can see him as he comes out." I stepped by him quickly. He was a small man, but he seized me pluckily by the collar. Just then we heard a door open, and my cousin stepped out dressed for the street. "What is the matter, Groves?" he asked sharply. "This fellow has forced his way in, sir," the man answered.
No conversation could be wholly dull, however, which Arthur led; and while the "lady's finger" in his cheek told his wife and Helen that he was laboring under some intense excitement, he held himself pluckily in hand. The conversation at first was between neighbors, but soon the host, according to his fashion, began to answer any remark that his quick ears caught, no matter from whose lips.
The great drawback is the ease with which they sink in soft snow: they go through in lots of places where the men scarcely make an impression they struggle pluckily when they sink, but it is trying to watch them. We are camped 6 miles from the glacier and 2 from Hut Point a cold east wind; to-night the temperature 19°. Thursday, January 26. Yesterday I went to the ship with a dog team.
Still hotter air met them as they continued their descent. One of the Arab workmen helped Meg by going on in front and making himself into a pillar for her to rest against when she lost her footing. Her feet slipped and stumbled in the soft debris, yet pluckily she always managed to reach the stately Arab.
But Nan, although she played up pluckily, so that no suspicions were aroused in the minds of the returned wanderers, was still burdened by the knowledge of what yet remained for her to do, and when the jolly clamour had abated a trifle she escaped upstairs to write her letter to Roger.
Ned pluckily took his station just outside the circle of light formed by the replenished fire, and sat down with rifle laid across his knees. The guide, with Walter Perkins and Stacy Brown, set off at a trot in search of the stampeded ponies. At Lige's direction they spread out so as to cover as much ground as possible, the torches making it well nigh impossible for any of them to get lost.
