Sue was just starting up the ladder, with Bunny going before her and Charlie following her, when the little girl happened to think of something else. "S'posin' the roof's just been painted?" she asked. "How can I walk on it?" This was a poser for a moment until Charlie exclaimed: "If it is I'll get some boards and we can lay them down to walk on."
"I can't see a blessed thing in there," Dave muttered. So he sprang inside. Now, quickly enough Dave stumbled over the prostrate figure of his unconscious comrade. Fairly pouncing upon Prescott, Dave half raised that body, then dragged it to the window. "Pull!" Darrin yelled up to Tom Reade, peering over the roof's edge.
The war seems long, and the world is large, and the chances for intrigue are almost infinite, given such combination as King and Yasmini and a love affair. And as King says on occasion: "Kuch dar nahin hai! There is no such thing as fear!" Another one might say, "The roof's the limit!"
I'm afraid she's a goner, already!" thought Dick, with a great surge of compassion. However, seizing the unconscious girl by the shoulders he dragged her swiftly over the floor to the window through which he had come. The rope still dangled there. Seizing it, Dick gave it a gentle pull -not too hard, for fear the jerk might catch good old Dave of his guard and yank him over the roof's edge.
With the exception of the governor's palace, none of these buildings can be compared for architectural beauty and richness with the large palaces of Rome, Florence, and Venice. Most of them are only distinguished from ordinary dwelling-houses by a handsome portico upon brick pillars covered with cement, and terrace-like roof's.
She made the sill, hauled her burden over to safety, then lifting it bodily carried it to the roof's edge, where putting it carefully beyond the volume of smoke now pouring from the window, she threw up her head and emitted howl upon howl for aid.
Was it a mere coincidence that the meadowlark flew up just then from its grass-tuft, and came to the roof's comb overhead, where it lit with a light yet audible stroke of its feet and began fluting its tender, lonesome-sounding strain?
"Well, come up to the house first and see Alice and the boy. Well go down to-morrow." When Tom Chripp showed his father the photograph of the house in which he was born, he burst into tears. "Just as pretty as ever," he exclaimed. "The roof's been mended, beent it, and just the same flowers all around it as when I was a boy.
Setting the girl down, he leaned far over the roof's edge, calling softly to Abdul. The youth ran to the window. "Your hand," whispered Tarzan. The men in the room beyond were battering at the door. With a sudden crash it fell splintering in, and at the same instant Abdul felt himself lifted like a feather onto the roof above.
The fight had been a short, but savage one. A glance at the roof's late defenders showed, including the man lying in the street below, eight dead Mexicans, one of whom was the boyish lieutenant of infantry who had commanded this detachment. Nine more were badly wounded. The four prisoners were the only able-bodied Mexicans left on the roof.
