"Give it into his own hands; and I can promise you that your reward will be greater than you think." With a rapid movement, she roiled up the paper and held it out to him. "Take it," she said, impressively. "And remember that it is something important, essential sacred." On the last word her voice rose; then, without warning, it suddenly broke.
Ned Chadmund suffered much, and the roiled and warm water in the old canteen was quaffed again, even though they were compelled to tip it more and more, until, toward the close of the day, Dick held it mouth downward, and showed that not a drop was left. "No use of keeping it when we are thirsty," was the philosophic remark of the hunter.
"Come, have a little sense," said the Deacon, not a little roiled at the abuse of his State. "I'm just as respectable a man as you dare be. I never stole anything. I've bin all my life a regler member o' the Baptist Church strict, close-communion, total-immersion Baptists. All I want o' you is to buy some o' them chickens there, and I'll give you a fair price for 'em.
There had been a perceptible rise and quickening of the current. It was slightly roiled and carried a floatage of broken twigs, torn leaves, with here and there a golden-green tulip-petal, like the broken wings of butterflies. I was in no hurry now, in no disquietude. The swamp and the storm were at my back.
The new helmsmen of the State, headed by Mirabeau, steered with considerable success among waters as yet but partly roiled. At Versailles an outward and visible Liberalism triumphed. The Third Estate or Commons, consolidating its authority as a permanent assembly, took measures to end the national bankruptcy and tried to cope with the awful menace of starvation.
He asked Jim if he had ever heard of the expression, "The time, the place, and the girl." He had the jury snickering at the thought of a big rich youth like Jim being such a ninny, such a milksop and mollycoddle, as to defy an opportunity so perfect. The public mind has its dirt as well as its grandeurs; the pool that mirrors the sky is easily roiled and muddied.
The house being well built, with thick walls and well-fitting windows, resisted the entrance of the great volumes of smoke that roiled along laden with sparks and burning fragments of wood; but these fiery heralds were becoming so menacing and continuous, that the Harmers saw plainly how little time was to be lost if they would save either the old woman or her valuables.
Only a minute did this continue, however, and then the parasol vanished as quickly as it had appeared. The Chinaman roiled the piece of bamboo in his hands and that, too, disappeared. Then he stood still in the middle of the room and bowed right and left. "Me allee samee velly smartee Chinee, so be," he observed, blandly. "Me likee Melican mans velly muchee."
Tom was still puzzling over the matter when their train roiled in and he and the others got aboard. "Well, we're off!" cried Ned. "Yes; we're off," admitted Tom, and, to himself he added: "No telling what will happen before we get there, though." The trip to Chicago was without incident, and, on arrival in the Windy City, Tom was on the lookout for Andy or his father, but he did not see them.
Even at the end of the twenty-foot plunge the body in striking made almost no sound at all, for, as Waggoner afterward figured, it must have struck against a mass of shore ice, then instantly to slide off, with scarcely a splash, into the roiled yellow waters beyond. The policeman checked his own speed barely in time to save himself from following over the brink.
