As I was being told this I tried to remember where Dinky-Dunk had stowed away his revolver-holster and his hammerless ejector and his Colt repeater. But I made that handsome young man in the scarlet coat come right into the shack and begin his search by looking under the bed, and then going down the cellar. I stood holding the trap-door and warned him not to break my pickle-jars.
Pity to kill a mare like that, wasn't it? Her sire was Repeater, the horse that ran the two three-mile heats with Mackworth, in grand time, too. Then, again, 'That chestnut colt with the white legs would be worth five hundred all out if we could sell him with his right name and breeding, instead of having to do without a pedigree. We shall be lucky if we get a hundred clear for him.
I struck my repeater half past one so I turned myself, and was once more falling over into the arms of Morpheus, when I thought I saw some dark object flit silently across the open window that looks into the piazza, between me and the deep blue and as yet moonless sky. This somewhat startled me, but it might have been one of the servants. Still I got up and looked out, but I could see nothing.
At length, after one or two impatient glances at the progress of the minute-hand of the clock, having compared it with his own watch, a huge and antique gold repeater, and having twitched about his features to give due emphasis to one or two peevish pshaws, he hailed the old lady of the cavern. "Good woman, what the d l is her name? Mrs. Macleuchar!" Mrs.
Though I don't pin my faith in such things, I asked her to look into the crystal, and see if she could tell what had become of my gold repeater, which disappeared the same night." "Oh!" exclaimed Annesley. "So you had something stolen?" "It looked like it. Anyhow, the watch went. And the Countess lost a ring during the trip a valuable one, I believe.
He talks in this way to make us think that he's not conceited; but he really knows in his heart that they're very handsome." "Is he grander than father, mamma dear?" asked Anastasia. "I don't think so, my sweet," answered Emily laughing. "I see you are not too grand, Val, to use your father's old repeater."
Will had a hard time of it for a few moments, struggling with instinct, but will conquered, and, standing his ground, Albert fired a bullet from his repeater at the great dark mass. The animal emitted his puffing roar again and rushed, head down, but blindly.
Old Schmitt, at the helm, never lifted his eyes from the compass repeater. At length: "Slow both!" "Bring her to six metres!" came from the conning tower, to which place I proceeded to hear the news. Slowly the periscope was raised and I held my breath; a groan came from Alten and he turned away.
The booby has not yet found out, by any trial, that, do what one will, there is ever a cursed fraction, oftenest a decimal repeater, and no net integer quotient so much as to be thought of."
Long after the figure on the pony had passed out of range, Blair stood pulling at the trigger of the empty repeater and cursing louder than before because it would not "pop." Two hours later, when it was past noon, an uncertain hand lifted the wooden latch of the Big B Ranch-house door, and, heralded by an inrush of cold outside air, Tom Blair, master and dictator, entered his domain.
