She had not slept until nearly morning, and had heard her father bolt the doors after the departure of the ex-Cossack. She had heard Kosmaroff's light and quick step on the frozen snow as he started on his seven-mile walk to Warsaw. Cartoner's name, then, was not mentioned during the morning meal, which the prince ate with the deliberation of his years.
We had received letters from her at every post-office excepting Lee's Ferry, but never a hint that all was not well. She knew it would break up the trip. Pretty good nerve, we thought! Ragged and weary, but happy; a little lean and over-trained, but feeling entirely "fit," we commenced our seven-mile climb up the trail, every turn of which seemed like an old friend.
As he had laid out his seven-mile drive on a deer track leading to a forest spring, so had he spoken for his flowers the word, which, though it freed them from the prunes and prisms of a landscape gardener, held them, glorified vassals, to their original masters, sun and rain. Strang and his love for untrammeled nature were hard pills for Mockwooders to swallow.
"Asiatic Annie!" we both said, at once and in unison. For all of us knew the evil reputation of Asiatic Annie that large gun, safely tucked away in the blue hills of Asia, who lobbed her shells a seven-mile throw over the Straits on to the shores of Cape Helles a mischievous old lady, who delighted in being the plague of the Beaches.
Jardine and the car had gone down the road hoping to overtake Claude, though they were expected back again later; so, leaving Claude there, Hugh and "Just" Smith continued their seven-mile run. "Burr-r-r-r!" That was the telephone bell ringing. "Hugh, will you answer it, since the chances are the call is from some one of your numerous boy chums?" the voice of Mrs.
It was four o'clock when the troops started off on their seven-mile march to Trenton over the snowy ground, the icy wind driving the sleet and snow in their faces. But by eight o'clock they had reached Trenton. The British were utterly taken by surprise, and almost at once the Hessians surrendered.
A seven-mile stretch of the river follows the outlines of a sickle, or, if you are not familiar with sickles, of a handmade figure five. Abingdon lies at the sickle point, prosperous Vesper at the end of the handle; Vesper, the county seat, abode of lawyers and doctors some bankers, too.
The last two times her Aunt Farley had made him spend the night, and it had been arranged that he would drive her in the Farley chaise to Clara Morse's wedding. A seven-mile drive is apt to promote or kill the germs of intimacy, and on the way over she had been conscious of enjoying herself. Scrutiny of Clara's choice had been to the advantage of her own cavalier.
Steve pointed it out, a seven-mile stretch of sand behind which emptied four or five small rivers. "Shall we try it?" he asked. "Might as well be thorough," Joe replied. "What do you say, Harry?" "I say yes. Seems to me they'd be mighty likely to slide into some such place if only to paint a new name on." "We'll have a look then," agreed Steve.
Tethering his pony by means of a long hide-rope for out of consideration for the animal he forbore to hobble it, since there was a possibility that he might not be able to return to it, Wilmshurst fastened the rolled ground-sheet over his shoulder after the manner of a bandolier, and holding his rifle ready for instant action began his seven-mile trek.
