At last he was obliged to give up all attempts of relieving Nearchus; and after struggling 60 days with want of water, during which period, if he himself had not, at the head of a few horse, pushed on to the coast, and there obtained a supply, by opening the sands, his whole army must have perished, he with great difficulty reached the capital of this desert country.
At a favorable place on the narrow road where the travelers could gaze down on a bunch of the B-line cattle quietly grazing and where the morning sun splashed varied colors on the distant hills, Davy pushed his mount in front of old Gravy to halt the party. He flung his hand in a wide sweep to include everything in sight. "That's Paradise, Landy.
The Captain stopped and thought. "And what is right on this earth? Go to the Devil!" And he pushed Tyapa aside. On the walls of the dosshouse the shadows were creeping, seeming to chase each other. The teacher lay on the board at full length and snored.
Just past the next corner was a lighted room, and the sound of voices broke the quiet. We pushed open the door and walked in. The room was large and dingy, the ceiling low. A bar took up the side of the room next the entrance, and a general air of disreputability filled the place.
They left the room, and presently, through the other door of the library which opened on the corridor, she saw them pass, as though they were going to their carriage. Marcella rose. She looked first at Miss Raeburn then at Aldous. "Will you take me away?" she said, going up to him; "I am tired take me to your room." He put her hand inside his arm, and they pushed their way through the crowd.
Usher pushed his plate away with a groan of satiety, and began. "Well, what's all this I hear about Virelet?" Randall intimated that he had heard all there was. "Yes, but what's the meaning of it? That's what I want to know." Randall put it that its meaning was that it had simply happened, and suggested that his father-in-law was in every bit as good a position for understanding it as he.
When four children sat down on the planks, and some one pushed them, they went around and around as nicely as you please, getting a fine ride around the middle of the barn floor. "But we ought to have music," said Sue. "I'll play my mouth organ," offered Bunker Blue. At last the day of the little circus came.
I was looking round to see if I could find one, when suddenly, in the corner, I espied a little low door, painted of the same grey colour as the wall, so that it was only a man with quick sight who would have noticed it. I pushed against it, and at first I imagined that it was locked.
De Lisle hardly halted at Calvinia, but pushed onwards to Williston, covering seventy-two miles of broken country in forty-eight hours, one of the most amazing performances of the war. Quick as he was, the Boers were quicker still, and during his northward march he does not appear to have actually come into contact with them.
Drummond had pushed me out of one stage, and, by inviting me to render an account of myself to him, inspired me into another. My Bible studies had given me a longing to see the Holy Land. Perhaps the longing was super-induced by the possibility of being drafted to the Mediterranean Squadron.
