'Tis my command that they retreat this moment, And in their ranks in silence wait my pleasure. ILLO steps to the window. COUNTESS. Let him go, I entreat thee, let him go. Hell and perdition! WALLENSTEIN. What is it? ILLO. They scale the council-house, the roof's uncovered, They level at this house the cannon MAX. Madmen ILLO. They are making preparations now to fire on us.
Timokles dimly perceived that the line was part of one of the old palm branches, that, years ago, had been laid across the split date tree that formed the roof's beam.
Timokles, lying in the dark, heard a sound beside the building. Some one was coming! Timokles crept to the roof's edge farthest from the sound, and lay down. The head of a man appeared above the roof's level. Evidently he was not accustomed to the roof, for he was very cautious in his movements, and tested every step he took.
"I don't stand on ceremony, Mistress Blythe," he told Anne. "It's a real pleasure to me to come here, and I'm not going to deny myself jest because you haven't got down to see me. There oughtn't to be no bargaining like that among the race that knows Joseph. I'll come when I can, and you come when you can, and so long's we have our pleasant little chat it don't matter a mite what roof's over us."
"We'll be awfully good, so good you won't know us." "We don't know you, anyway," laughed Alicia, and the first boy responded, "Sure enough. Roof's the introduction, you know, but I'll add that this marvellously handsome companion of mine is one Geordie Knapp, and I'm Ted Hosmer, very much at your service." "Well," said Alicia, "we're Miss Forbes, Miss Fayre, Miss Rose and Miss Steele.
But och wirra wirra the roof's off of the house och the look of the black houle wid the rafters stickin' thro' it, and ne'er a breath of smoke, till me heart was sick watchin' to see might there be an odd one; and the door clap-clappin'. Sure be that I well knew the child was dead, and me father quit out of it, or maybe buried himself, and I after lavin' them dyin' and starvin'. So for 'fraid somebody'd be comin' out and tellin' me, off I run away into the bog, till I was treadin' here in the could wather.
Timokles found no difficulty in descending with the doum palms' help, and he reflected that perhaps food for the leopard was often brought up this way, and thrown to the creature through the roof's holes. No one had come to-day with food, because the Christian had been sent to keep the leopard company! The village, some distance away, was quiet.
"You said we were going to live in a camp. Where is it?" Jim pointed to the first structure. "There! It's the cabin of an old vessel that came ashore here in a southerly gale years ago. Uncle Tom jacked it up a foot, put in a good floor, and made it into a first-rate camp. It's got bunks for half a dozen, and at a pinch could hold more. The roof's a bit leaky, but we'll soon fix that.
King obeyed, without looking at the thing, and Ismail, turning to face the crowd, rose on tiptoe and filled his lungs for the effort of his life. "The head of Cappitin Attleystan King infidel kaffir British arrficer!" he howled. "Good!" the crowd bellowed. "Good! Throw it!" The crowd's roar and the roof's echoes combined until pandemonium. "Throw it to them, Kurram Khan!"
"Roof's gone since I was here last," said the Intelligence Officer, "come this way. You'll see it better from over here." So we followed him and stood to look upon the indescribable ruin. "There are no words to describe that," said N. at last, gloomily. "No," I answered. "Arras was bad enough, but this !" "Arras?" he repeated. "Arras is only a ruined town. Ypres is a rubbish dump.
