Just push in and tell who you be that's what I'd do." "Oh, I think not, Ellen would you? I'd rather err on the safe side, seems to me. Do let's be polite, at least! Yes, I'll knock," and a timid rat-tat-tat, made by a small kid-covered knuckle, announced the first visit of the present owner of the great Early Works.
He opened the window and flung them as far as possible. "There!" he cried. "By the mumping Joses I mean the jumping Moses! I'm done with 'em. I'm not going to smoke them any more!" "Good boy!" laughed Frank, his face full of satisfaction. "Shake!" They clasped hands. Rat-tat-tat! A knock at the door. "Come in."
"He's the most harmless creature that ever lived," she interrupted. "You wouldn't say so if you had seen him chasing me upstairs with a hard leather strap," he said; "I haven't forgotten it in sixteen years." She got warm from head to foot under another soft, subdued laugh. At the rat-tat-tat of the knocker her heart flew into her mouth. "Hey, dad! Let me in. I am Harry, I am. Straight!
You must imagine snow waist-deep, the heights furrowed with trenches, the frosty balsam stillness split with screaming shells and shrapnel and the rat-tat-tat of machine guns; imagine yourself floundering upward with winter overcoat, blanket, pack, rifle, and cartridge-belt any one who has snow-shoed in mountains in midwinter can fancy what fighting meant in a place like this.

At last in the midst of a grateful job of raking up yards and planting shrubs, I heard the rat-tat-tat of a hammer, and resolved upon a bold plan.
"The doctor says he must not leave the house before next week. Now run along." Ollie threw a kiss toward the window and started down the path.

He is pointing under that bush, but I do not see anything.

The same thought was in the mind of both. Jean Jacques clutched at his beard nervously, then with an effort he controlled himself.
Bullets were kicking up little spurts of dust about us; bullets were tang-tanging through the trees and clipping off twigs, which fell down upon our heads; the rat-tat-tat of the German musketry was answered by the angry snarl of the Belgian machine-guns; in a field near by the bodies of two recently killed cuirassiers lay sprawled grotesquely.
The enemy's Maxim-Nordenfelt goes rat-tat-tat a dozen times with immense rapidity. 'Come in, says a Tommy of the Grenadiers who has come to our hill for orders; and indeed it sounds exactly like some one knocking at a street door. Now the under-current of rifle fire becomes horrible in its rapidity. Can anything in that hell down there be left alive?
Hastening along the path to the house where Professor Green was domiciled, Molly was thinking: "Only a year ago I had to make the same apology to him. Oh, my wicked, wicked temper! I am ashamed of myself." And now she had reached the old brick house and sounded the brass knocker with an eager rat-tat-tat.
