He had a long knife in his mouth, a pistol in his left hand, and a rifle slung behind him, but after one long look at us, holding the lantern to each face in turn, he suddenly discarded all appearances of ferocity. "You know about pistols?" he demanded of me in English, because I was nearest, and thrust his Mauser repeater under my nose. "Why won't this one work? I have tried it every way."
I said. "There he is again." "All right; give him a moment," said Merton, "and now you have a full half-hour. Come." We crossed the narrow road and stood below the garden wall. He gave me the aid of his bent knee and then his shoulder, and I was at once lying flat on the garden wall. My repeater rang 10:15, and then, as I lay, I heard voices. This time there were two men.
"I understand," continued the first speaker emphatically, and with the air of one who is well informed "I understand there is a settlement." "And what does little Jenny Gibson get?" "A hundred, and the auld repeater." "That's but sma' gear, puir thing; she had a sair time o't with the auld leddy. But it's ill waiting for deadfolk's shoon."
The ways of Him who pardons are mysterious." He leaves her comforted and yet not daring to break the seal of silence to the lovely claimants. While Pere Francois confers with Natalie, as the moon sails high in heaven over the fragrant pines, Woods and Peyton exchange a few quiet words over their cigars. By the repeater which Joe consults it is now a quarter of ten.

If your master wants me to know what a clock it is, let him send me, not a lacquey, but a gold repeater watch!" And salving his wounded dignity with these and similar effusions, Margari trotted alongside the lacquey to the room of Mr.
How the repeater of the prayer did cackle and splutter! I never before or since heard language enounced with such steam-engine haste.

Instantly Fred covered her with his own repeater, but she laughed in his face. "You ol' fool, you ar-re afraid to shoot me!"
Having found an open space on high ground, they sat down, and Bearwarden struck his repeater, which, for convenience, had been arranged for Jupiter time, dividing the day into ten hours, beginning at noon, midnight being therefore five o'clock. "Twenty minutes past four," said he, "which would correspond to about a quarter to eleven on earth.
Show me your knife and your watch, Massa Christy." He complied with the request, as he saw that it was a very simple means of identification, for the steward had some skill as a mechanic, and he had frequently sharpened the knife, and knew the repeater of the lieutenant from having seen it so often, for it was a very peculiar watch. Dave's last doubt vanished when these articles were produced.
However, when a hunter comes suddenly upon a Harpeth jaguar he is glad to use his best repeater and he is careful how he shoots, though if he is very skillful he may tease the lion aloft with a few nipping shots. I felt suddenly very strong for the fight that I knew was on, though the lion didn't possess that knowledge as yet.
