Without stopping to glance at the cartridges, nor to realize that they were filled with Number Eight shot, for quails, she thrust two of them into the breech and, turning, fired pointblank at the sow. Lad was down again; and the sow, no longer in a squealing rush, but with a new cold deadliness, was gauging the distance to his exposed throat.
Kneeling there, up he snatched the revolver, and in a deadly fire he poured out the last spitting shots, pointblank in the faces of the crowding rabble. Up he leaped. The rifle barrel flashed and glittered as he whirled it. Like a reaper, laying a clean swath behind him, the engineer mowed down a dozen of the beast-men. Shrieks, grunts, snarls, mingled with his execrations.
The weapon appeared to be jammed, for one of the Huns was frantically working at the firing mechanism. And it was this same jamming, as was learned later, that, undoubtedly, saved the lives of Jimmy and his chums. Roger shot pointblank at one Boche and Bob bayoneted another. Then the remainder raised their hands and cried: "Kamerad!" "We haven't any time to take prisoners!" yelled Franz.
By that time the Traiti was going for Tarlac, claws raking air toward the man's face. Trained reflexes had taken over then. Rangers might not be experts in one-on-one combat, but they could make a creditable showing; Tarlac had done a tuck-and-roll, bringing his blaster out to save his own life by a fraction of a second as he fired pointblank, killing the Traiti.
These little jets and wreaths of smoke half encircled us, and made but a phantom-like target for our people; and I think it speaks well for officers and men that they not only did their duty, but that Griffin's battery also came up, and that both batteries held their own against a terrific pointblank fire from the Rebel cannon, which certainly exceeded ours in number.
"And he, did he always call on business?" "Oh, yes, always on business, but well, madame, she was a very beautiful woman. Perhaps he like beautiful women eh bien? That was before the Doctor Gregory treated madame. After the doctor treated madame M'sieur Lawrence do not call so often. That's all." "Are you thoroughly devoted to Mrs. Close? Would you do a favor for her?" asked Craig pointblank.
The upshot of it all was that his lordship's demand for help had been refused pointblank, and no doubt, after what the Colonel had heard, in rather abrupt, outspoken terms. All this and more l'Echelle brought back to us at the Atlas Hotel.
Iggy looked on almost as uncomprehendingly as did Bob, but Iggy was staring at a dead German on the floor of the mill a German he had killed by a bayonet thrust from behind, when that same German was about to fire his revolver, pointblank, at Roger. Iggy was filled with many emotions as he looked at his work work undertaken and carried out for Liberty.
Yes, she had taken him by surprise, and for that reason the conversation which began was not exactly as he would have conducted it if he had been prepared for her pointblank question. He ought to have said at once: "I've missed nothing." It was a deplorable thing that he should have let it come so far as to have her ask what it was he missed.
Why, twenty thousand would take everything I have." "Don't play that on me," said Wickersham, coldly. "It won't work. You can make it up when you get your widow." Rimmon groaned helplessly. "Come; there is the note. Sign." Rimmon began to expostulate, and finally refused pointblank to sign. Wickersham gazed at him with amusement.
