"Nevil, be quiet!" she commanded in a crisp undertone; and Roy, simply hating her, pulled out his watch. "We've got to hurry, Daddy. Mother said 'not later than half-past. And it is later." "Scoot, then. She'll be anxious because of the storm."
Now let me take one in each palm, and you will scoot up this drive as if you were on wheels." "But I don't want to 'scoot'," she said unsteadily. "I must go slowly and not miss anything." "On the contrary, you don't want to do any such thing you should leave most of it for to-morrow." "I had forgotten there would be any to-morrow. It seems as if the day would end it and set me adrift again."
"Hook, scoot, bolt, leg it!" exclaimed Jeekie emphatically; then he licked his finger, held it up to the wind and added, "but first fire reeds and make it hot for Bonsa crowd." This was a good suggestion and one on which they acted without delay. Taking red embers, they blew them into a flame and lit torches, which they applied to the reeds over a width of several hundred yards.
F.F.V. if you meet any 'Lincoln vandals, just give them my respects, will you?" to which as the knight gave no answer, we are left in doubt to this day whether Given's commission was ever executed. "There! my mind's relieved on that point," announced Jim, wiping his face with one hand and shaking the other after the retreating dust. "Mean old scoot!
Rio Medio was the name of the town to which Carlos was going which his uncle owned. They moved away from above. What was I to believe? What could this mean? But the second mate's, "Scoot, young man," seemed to come to my ears like the blast of a trumpet. I became suddenly intensely anxious to find Macdonald to see no more of Carlos. From above came suddenly a gruff voice in Spanish.
"I seen the rest o' the folks goin' off in all directions, an' ses I, 'I'll scoot over an' slap up a batch o' biscuits or somethin', for I knowed you couldn't get any dinner. For the love o' the crows, you ain't housecleanin'!" "Doesn't this room look as if I were?" Sarah Emily sniffed the damp clean odor. "Well, I never. If this ain't a come-downer for a lady like you!"
A bugle-call rang out over the camp. "Bed-time," said a Guardsman, "time to go bye-bye. Parade hype! Dis-miss! The orderly officer'll be round soon. Scoot, my sons." They scooted. The silvery notes of the bugle died away over the woods. Night was falling, and the sky faded slowly from mother-of-pearl to a leaden gray. We were alone.
"I've seen all I want to, Tom; let us go back," said Horace, who looked rather white by now. "Besides, I think it's going to pour down again shortly." "That's right," added another scout; "you can hear it coming over there. Everybody scoot for the home base."
Good-night, Patty." "Good-night, Mona. Scoot!" The next morning Patty was making one of her "peregrinating toilettes." She could dress as quickly as any one, if occasion required; but, if not, she loved to walk slowly about as she dressed, pausing now and then to look out of a window or into a book.
No, Arabella did not see, nor had she heard the story, but she had seen Jimmy, and she wondered that he belonged to such a family as that which produced Mandy and Chub. "Ye're 'most home," declared the driver, "an' soon's I've landed ye I'll hev ter scoot." "But you'll have to take Arabella home; she lives 'way over the other side of the town," insisted Patricia.
