I'll be really competent to take care of my own children. I don't pretend I am now." "I don't see why you can't do that as things are now. She'll let you practise bathing them and things like that, and certainly no one would object to your wheeling them out in the pram. But the nurse-maid would be on hand in case ..."
Then I'd wait for a chance to put the radio behind a cushion, or in the crack of an armchair, or somewhere like that. I didn't know exactly what I could do, but I knew if we could get aboard there would be some way of leaving the radio behind." The pram had vanished around the turn of the cove. The speedboat would come into sight any moment now. "All right," Rick admitted.
When R had alighted from the pram, the boatman drew it up on the shore, lest it should get adrift, for it was the only available pram at Boom; and touching his slouch hat, signified to R his intention of going to his morning meal. R consented. We sat down on a piece of timber by the river's brink, and R watched his successful fellow-angler.
Some half-hour passed, and suddenly with a 'Thank God! I made certain that two specks in the direction of Pram Point were human beings. I hastened towards them and found they were Wilson and Meares, who had led the homeward way with the dog teams. They were astonished to see me they said they feared the ponies were adrift on the sea ice they had seen them with glasses from Observation Hill.
Now, however, as the cutter drifted, rather than sailed, nearer to this green point of land, we saw that the pram had been untied from the stake, and was rowed by an old woman round and round, in an unending circuit, in midway of the Fiord. Often she ceased to row, and unfolding a white handkerchief from her head bared her whiter hair to the burning sky, and waved the signal in the air.
But we have plenty of seal meat, blubber and biscuit, and can therefore remain for a much longer period if needs be. Meanwhile the days are growing shorter and the weather colder. Saturday, April 1. The wind yesterday was blowing across the Ridge from the top down on the sea to the west: very little wind on the eastern slopes and practically none at Pram Point.
Occurrences in Pegu, Martavan, Pram, Siam, and other places. We here propose to give some account of the exploits of the black king of Siam, in whose character there was a strange mixture of virtues and vices.
"I had a hunch they wouldn't! Okay. I'm going to take off right now and search the coast. If that pram wasn't connected with the attack on Duke and Jerry, I'll eat it." "Good luck," Blake said. "Let me know if you need any help." Rick hurried back to the porch. The JANIG scout team had reported early in the morning that the pram was gone from the pier.
Shouting with the shrill voice of her sex and age, she beckoned us to hasten to her aid. Then, hobbling from one end of her pram to the other, and moving quickly from side to side she leaned over and looked steadfastly down in the water, as if something valuable had been lost.
Behind the houseboat! Look at the dory they're towing!" Rick swung low and craned his neck to see. It was! The houseboat used a pram as a tender, and the pram had its own low-power outboard motor. "That's enough," he said with satisfaction. He kept the Sky Wagon on a southerly course until Seaford passed below, to keep the houseboaters from thinking the plane's sole interest had been in them.
