Mimer looked long at the ruddy hilt of the weapon, and at the mystic runes that were scored upon its sides, and at the keen edge, which looked like a ray of sunlight in the gathering gloom of the evening. But no word came from his lips, and his eyes were dim and dazed; and he seemed as one lost in thoughts of days long past and gone.
His identification was absolute. The defense called Jennie Brice's sister, and endeavored to prove that Jennie Brice had had no such scar. It was shown that she was on intimate terms with her family and would hardly have concealed an operation of any gravity from them. The defense scored that day.
"Probably not; but then they are Japanese people living in Japan. That alters everything." "I don't think so," said Geoffrey; and he was conscious of having scored off his friend for once. Miss Yaé Smith had arrived on her daily visit to the courts. She was already surrounded by a little retinue of young men, who, however, scattered at Reggie's approach.
Even the dullest had to admit that his elocution was excellent, and the manner of speech is keenly appreciated in America. In some of the Eastern towns, in New York especially, he had a certain success, the success of sensation and of novelty, such success as every large capital gives to the strange and eccentric. In Boston he scored a triumph of character.
He turned to Anthony and saw that the latter was stern of face. He had surely scored his point. "Same name as yours, eh?" he asked, to explain his turning. "It's a common enough name," murmured Bard. "Well, them two had come out to be partners, and there they was, fallin' in love with the same girl.
"I do hate sums!" he said, with a sigh, regarding the hideous smudges of thumbs and tears that scored the page. "I shall never understand anything about them." "I'll help you," said Mary, who was greatly excited at the thought of a governess. "We'll do them together." "No we won't," said Jeremy, who hated to be dependent. "I'll learn it myself if only the paper didn't get dirty so quickly."
Cries of terror and confusion came from the direction of the foe, followed by hoarse German cries of command. "Bully for Lord Hastings!" exclaimed Jack. "He has scored a hit." "Hurrah!" cried Frank, and raised his voice in a series of cheers.
The barren mountains are fenced off, surely at a great expense, that no sheep or lamb might bite a heather bell without pay. It was to be a great pasture for black-faced sheep. The sides of the mountains, which are bog in many places, are scored with drains to dry up the bog holes and give the sheep a sure footing. I did not see many sheep on the hill or many cattle on the deserted farms.
"Beyond that, we can't tell you why he's a Colonel unless it's because he ain't a Judge;" and the boss of the camp laughed with the rest, for the Denver man had scored. By the time they got to the California apricots and boiled rice everybody was feeling pretty comfortable.
After half-time Seymour's, playing downhill, came away with a rush to the Donaldsonites' half, and Rand-Brown, with one of the few decent runs he had made in good class football that term, ran in on the left. Milton took the kick, but failed, and Seymour's led by three points. For the next twenty minutes nothing more was scored.
