"It would be equally in his interests as well as those of Baron Oberg if I were sent to Saghalien and my identity effaced. I am a Russian subject, as I have already told you, therefore with a Ministerial order against me I am in deadliest peril." "Trust in me," I scribbled quickly. "I will act upon any suggestion you make.
This last peculiarity, by the way, is of no consequence nowadays, but it is mentioned here for ulterior motives. In the pages of this little black-bound volume there were no scintillating thoughts scribbled there with suspicious neatness of diction, such as one finds in the diaries of great men who, it would seem, are not above post-mortem vanity.
I do not know what I desire, I do not know." He read it through aloud; then threw the scribbled sheet into the waste-paper basket and got into bed again. In a very few minutes he was asleep. Mr. Barbecue-Smith was gone. The motor had whirled him away to the station; a faint smell of burning oil commemorated his recent departure.
See if you can find me a bit of paper somewhere." On one of the shelves there was a small homemade desk in which she rummaged. She found a number of loose bits of paper, some of them scribbled over in pencil and others with ink. They were apparently accounts, notes concerning various supplies and a few letters from various places.
That note, scribbled in pencil, sent through the matron, was unbusinesslike as well as cruel, and decreased at once the value of the woman who had written it. "Ah, well!" said Mr. Wilcox, rising from the table. "I shouldn't have thought it possible." "Mother couldn't have meant it," said Evie, still frowning. "No, my girl, of course not."
"B-e-l-l-a-y-n-e. Yes, that's it." He scribbled it into a notebook. "All right. Take your turn Wednesday and Saturday." "How much do I get?" Edna demanded. "Two-an'-a-half a turn. Two turns, five. Getcher pay first Monday after second turn." And without the simple courtesy of "Good day," he turned his back on her and plunged into the newspaper he had been reading when she entered.
You can hold a musket and shoot as good as a man, without doubt, so should make a good soldier. I accept your offer, and will assign you to Colonel Harker's regiment." Then he scribbled a brief note, handed it to Dick and said: "Give that to the colonel. He will take care of you." Lifting his voice, he called out: "Orderly!" An orderly entered at once, and saluted.
Next day I took the kids to my mother's. It was her birthday. That would make it the tenth." "Where was your brother when he saw it?" Rick queried. "Pumpin' gas. Right here. He said it sort of came up over the trees, glittering like fire." The attendant pointed to a patch of trees down the road. The direction was almost directly southwest. Scotty scribbled in the notebook.
He finished his examination and scribbled something in a note-book. "Death must have taken place nearly five hours ago," he merely remarked: it was the conclusion I had already come to myself. "And how about the papers?" the surgeon continued. "You have them, I suppose? This way, please."
I had scribbled the beginning of a novel; I had placed all my personages; I knew them thoroughly; I knew their situations in the world, their characters, tendencies, ideas, relations to each other. I saw their faces. All that remained to be known was what they were going to do, and I did not trouble my head about that, having time to think it over to-morrow.
