"Coppy," shouted Wee Willie Winkie, reining up outside that subaltern's bungalow early one morning "I want to see you, Coppy!" "Come in, young 'un," returned Coppy, who was at early breakfast in the midst of his dogs. "What mischief have you been getting into now?" Wee Willie Winkie had done nothing notoriously bad for three days, and so stood on a pinnacle of virtue.
Thousands of beautiful flowers decked the green sward, and numbers of little birds hopped about among them. "Now, lads," said Joe Blunt, reining up, "our troubles begin to-day." "Our troubles! our joys, you mean!" exclaimed Dick Varley. "P'raps I don't mean nothin' o' the sort," retorted Joe. "Man wos never intended to swaller his joys without a strong mixtur' o' troubles.
They can't know what is being done. I am sure they can't know." "What did I tell you?" cried Alessandro, galloping up on Benito, and reining him in so sharply he reared and plunged. "What did I tell you? I saw by your face, many paces back, that you had come as you went, or worse! I have been watching for you these two days.
Without hesitation he turned and rode back again and, in a few minutes, met a dark body of men coming along at a rapid run. "Where is the colonel?" he asked, reining in his horse suddenly, for he had nearly ridden into the midst of them. "Just ahead of us, to the right, sir." In a minute Fergus was beside him. By the light that Karl carried, he recognized him.
He had hardly done so, when he observed that those who advanced were a gentleman and his servant; almost at the same moment he recognised Lord George Gordon, before whom he stood uncovered, with his eyes turned towards the ground. 'Good day! said Lord George, not reining in his horse until he was close beside him. 'Well! 'All quiet, sir, all safe! cried Barnaby.
It is the greatest proof to me of the infinite nature of our minds, that we almost instantly undervalue what we have thoroughly attained. This sensation afflicted me, for I had been reining in my enthusiasm for two days, as rather premature, and keeping myself in reserve for this ultimate display.
"Does he worship it?" wondered Ali Partab, reining from an amble to a walk and watching half-reverently. The followers of Mohammed are most superstitious about the moon.
Then reining up, with the revolver once more in his right hand, he cries out "Lie still, you ruffian! Don't move an inch! I have four shots to spare, and if you attempt to stir, one of them will quiet you." The admonition is not needed. Uraga, stunned by the shock for a time, makes no movement. He is insensible.
But the enemy, by this, had my fellows on the run, and were driving them at stretch gallop. To worsen my plight, as I pursued I caught sound of hoofs pounding behind and, as it seemed, overtaking me; supposed that a horseman was riding me down; and, reining the mare back fiercely, slued about to meet his onset. It proved to be the poor pack-horse I had left in the valley!
Reining him up, I dismounted, and to my great surprise discovered two well-dressed men fast asleep, locked in each other's arms.
