"You make me feel like a baby," said Sheila. "I never fainted before in my life. I didn't think I could faint. I'm all right now. May I sit up, please?" "You may lie up, if you like," Casey replied. "Let me put some pillows under you. You've had a bad shake-up, old girl." "Beaver Boy fell," she explained, "and threw me. I must have struck my head. I don't know how I caught him again.
How do you like it?" "I hadn't thought of bombs," he replied. "But we're in for it, and I suppose we'll have to take whatever comes." Now came the doctor, supporting the injured man on one side while Maud Stanton held his opposite arm. Gys was smiling broadly a rather ghastly expression. "No bones broken, sir," he reported to Mr. Merrick. "Only a good shake-up and plenty of bruises.
"Well," he said to the child, "that wasn't much of a shake-up, was it?... What do you say to going to bye-bye on the gentleman's bed?" As his servant, Achille, was asleep, Lupin made the little chap comfortable and stroked his hair for him. The child seemed numbed.
"I ain't goin' to say thanks, John. You know it." "That's all right, Bud. Your thanks will be just what you make of this work when I leave. There has been a big shake-up in the Service. Some of us stayed on top." "Congratulations, John. Saturday, come two weeks, then." And Bud heaved himself up. The Airedale, Bondsman, thumped the floor with his tail. Bud turned a whimsical face to the supervisor.
I think I should have come up to see you to-night, anyhow." "Why, what's the matter more sugar frauds?" laughed Kennedy. "Or perhaps you have caught another art dealer red-handed?" "No, not exactly," replied Herndon, growing graver for the moment. "We're having a big shake-up down at the office, none of your 'new broom' business, either. Real reform it is, this time."
At intervals news came of what was doing behind the smoke cloud. The area of the flames spread all night. People who had decided that their houses were outside of the dangerous area and had decided to pass the night, even after the terrible experience of the shake-up, under their roofs, hourly gave up the idea and struggled to the parks.
"You've had a bad shake-up, and it'll do you no end of good to get away from things." When the doctor came the next day it turned out that he knew of the plan and approved it. "You ought to be quiet for a year. Just loaf and look at the landscape," he advised. Paxon felt the first faint stirrings of curiosity. "What's been the matter with me, anyway?" "Well, over-work, I suppose.
Rodman's eyes were filled with tears as he answered, "Of course I forgive you, fully and freely, old man. But don't worry about that now. Keep quiet and don't try to talk. We'll soon have you at home, where you'll be all right, and get over this shake-up in no time." A bright smile passed over Snyder's face, and glorified it. Then his eyes closed wearily, never again to be opened in this world.
The first hour's ride brought little change in weather or scenery, but it gave Helen an inkling of what she must endure if they kept that up all day. She began to welcome the places where the horses walked, but she disliked the levels. As for the descents, she hated those. Ranger would not go down slowly and the shake-up she received was unpleasant.
"I might mean one thing and I might mean another. I s'pose you never give a thought to poltix, did you?" "Well, in a general way I have thought of it sometimes." "Think of it some more," said Mr. Neal, from the door. "I see a kind of shake-up comin'. People say I've got infloonce in poltix, and sort of help to run things. Of course it ain't so.
