Looking back into these past things it is like rummaging in a neglected attic that has experienced the attentions of some whimsical robber I cannot even account for the presence of these children at Bladesover. They were, I know, among the innumerable cousins of Lady Drew, and according to the theories of downstairs candidates for the ultimate possession of Bladesover.
For all she could see, nothing had been done for him except the binding of a scarf round his neck and under his arm. This scant bandage had worked loose. Going to the door, she called out: "Fetch me some water." When Colter brought it, Ellen was rummaging in her pack for some clothing or towel that she could use for bandages. "Weren't any of y'u decent enough to look after my uncle?" she queried.
When the war, of which we shall speak in our third part, breaks out between you and madame, you will always have plenty of ingenious excuses for rummaging in the drawers and escritoires; for if your wife is trying to hide from you some statue of her adoration, it is your interest to know where she has hidden it.
Judd Jason, with a queer look, got up and went to a desk in a dark corner, and after rummaging for a few moments in one of the pigeon-holes, drew forth a glass cylinder, which he held out as he approached me. "You get it, Mr. Paret," he said. "What is it?" I asked, "a bomb!"
I heard him unlocking and rummaging the drawers, and was silently reproaching myself for my want of caution in having spoken as I had done, though it was now beyond all doubt that he was the murderer, and that his motive had been rightly guessed; but with this self-reproach there was mingled a self-gratulation at the way I had got out of the difficulty, as I fancied.
"La!" says The Major with triumph, rummaging among the mass of shells with his cane as he held the candle aloft. "But," says my friend, ready to surrender, yet taking a last chance, "you told me they were dancing the cancan!" The Major picked up a terrapin and turned it over in his hand. Quite numb and frozen, the animal within made no sign.
They kept up a desultory conversation while helping to clean potatoes. Presently Anna and Lina joined them, and they all went down to the storeroom and began rummaging through their grandparents' old wardrobes. They turned over a variety of crinolines, farthingales, bustles and wigs, laying on one side the articles of silver, bronze and porcelain for the Tartars were coming after dinner.
Taterleg made a rummaging in the chuck wagon, coming out presently with the letter. He stood contemplating it with tender eye. "Some writer, ain't she, Duke?" "She sure is a fine writer, Taterleg writes like a schoolma'am." "She can talk like one, too. See 'Lander, Wyo. It's a little town about as big as my hat, from the looks of it on the map, standin' away off up there alone.
This precipitate retreat at the last moment enabled the National forces to pick their way without hinderance through the abatis the only artificial defence the enemy had. The moment the camp was reached our men laid down their arms and commenced rummaging the tents to pick up trophies. Some of the higher officers were little better than the privates.
As the chief inspector, a grim, silent man, left, Foyle turned again to his work. He began a careful search of the room, even rummaging among the litter in the waste-paper basket. But there was nothing else that might help to throw the faintest light on the tragedy. A discreet knock on the door preceded Waverley's entrance with a report of the examination of every one in the house.
