"I forgot you wanted me to wait, Marvin," said Steve apologetically, as the trio came up. "Oh, that's all right, Edwards. I forgot myself. Another day will do just as well. I didn't know we were to have scrimmage to-day." "You keep up that stuff you showed to-day, Edwards," said Mr. Robey, "and we'll have you on the second the first thing you know." Then his glance passed Steve to Tom.
Wilbur had imagined that the fight would be hardly more than a wild rush down the slope of the beach, a dash over the beach-combers' breastworks of sand, and a brief hand-to-hand scrimmage around the old cabin. In all accounts he had ever read of such affairs, and in all ideas he had entertained on the subject, this had always been the case.
It was a smack, and her lights had gone wrong somehow; she was moving but slowly, and she let the Mission vessel off with a hole in the mizen. The scrimmage would have meant death had any breeze been blowing; but the men took it coolly after the one dread minute of anxiety was over.
A black heart has Biddy Dillon? An' ye were ducked and soaked over night in the Liffey mud at Dublin, ye were claner than now? A black heart? An' yerself an ould penshioner, idle and mane, stirrin' up a scrimmage in an honest woman's house, and repeating yer haythenish nonsense, an' ye able and sthrong to take hould o' the heaviest end o' the work! Are ye not ashamed? What are ye good for?"
"Suit yourself," he told her curtly. "I can promise you it will be a lot easier for me in a scrimmage and a get-away without a woman to look out for." Immediately he was ashamed of having been brusque with her. For she was only a little slip of a girl after all and obviously one who had never been thrown out into the current of life where it ran strongest.
"Well, we got sorter dry after that las' scrimmage, an' Jack here said he reckoned thar'd be something ter drink down stairs; he contended that most o' these yer ol' houses had plenty o' good stuff hid away. Finally Burke volunteered to go down, an' see what he could find. We was waitin' fer him to com' back. What's happened ter Burke, sir?" "Knifed." "Killed! Burke killed! Who did it?"
Jopp was older than O'Ryan by three years, which in men is little, but in boys, at a certain time of life, is much. It means, generally, weight and height, an advantage in a scrimmage. Constantine Jopp had been the plague and tyrant of O'Ryan's boyhood.
What's more is, as I shouldn't say nought about the scrimmage; specially as we're not hurt, or you won't get leave again." "But you are hurt, Dick." "Bah! Don't call that hurt, dear lad. I'm as right as nine-pence. You go on, and think about what I've said." "I will, Dick," said Bob; "but take care of the fish." "Ay, ay, sir." "But I say, Dick." "Ay, ay, sir." "How did the dinghy get loose?
"Hair," said Brown laconically. "You have seen him come out of a scrimmage like a crab?" "Yes. Isn't he just lovely then?" exclaimed Betty. "Lovely? Oh, woman, woman! A ghastly, bloody, fearsome spectacle. Lovely! But it was ever thus. 'Butchered to make a Roman holiday," replied Lloyd. "Well, he is rather bloody. Bleeds easily, you; know, but it doesn't hurt at all," said Brown.
"Crossan brought me on his motor." "Were you in time for the scrimmage?" "You'd maybe better read the letter I've given you, my lord," said Crossan. "If I'd been there," said McNeice, "your nephew would probably be dead now. In my opinion he ought to be." "The letter I've just given your lordship," said Crossan, "is an important one." "I'm sure it is," I said. "But I haven't time to read it now."
