Now matters were already getting to be "shipshape," and no observer could fail to note the increased comfort enjoyed by Cap'n Ira and Prudence. Nor need Tunis feel anxious, either, regarding the girl's state of mind or body. She was so blithe and cheerful that he could scarcely recall the picture of that girl who had waited upon him in the cheap restaurant on Scollay Square.
"Therefore, I should say that we had better head in that direction." "Agreed!" returned the commander of the Glasgow, and, after some further talk, he put over the side and returned to his own vessel. Several hours were now spent on board the Sylph repairing the damage caused by the German shells and getting the little vessel in shipshape again.
If you're going to lay down, and let everybody trample over you just as they please, you're right! You MIGHT as well go home. But now here, this is what I wanted to say to you: Do you just keep your hands off these next few days, and leave this whole thing to me. I'll pull it into shipshape for you. No wait a minute don't interrupt now. I have taken a liking to you.
Then my mind was made up, and I said: "Yes, everything is ready; everything is shipshape, no detail is wanting. I know what to do now." "So do I; sit down and wait." "No, sir! rise up and strike!" "Do you mean it?" "Yes, indeed! The defensive isn't in my line, and the offensive is. That is, when I hold a fair hand two-thirds as good a hand as the enemy.
"I guess you'll find the place all shipshape," said the driver, as they set off. "Folks came up early but didn't stay long. Left in a hurry; kind o' funny, skippin' the way they did." "There hadn't been sickness in the family?" asked Archie, apprehensively thinking that he might be stumbling into infection. "Lord no! Family troubles, I reckon!
Cluvver, it is your durn on card do-night," interposed Meyer, the German sergeant, as the captain was about to roll himself in his blankets. "So 'tis," returned Glover in well feigned astonishment. "Don't forgit a feller, do ye, Sergeant? How 'n the world do ye keep the 'count so straight? Oh, got a little book there, hey, with all our names down. Wal, that's shipshape.
"Am I to remain here, Mr. Carlyle?" "Yes for a few moments; there is no danger. You stay also, Watkins; let Schmitt and Sam come with me." I helped them clamber up and then lifted my body onto the rail, from which position I had a clear view of the forward deck. It was unexpressibly dirty, yet otherwise shipshape enough, ropes coiled and the forward hatch tightly closed.
"Send out a radar blip for them to pick up. I'll check the cargo and make sure it's lashed down for landing. Captain Stefens is tough when it comes to being shipshape." The freighter blasted evenly, smoothly onward through the darkness of space in a straight line for the man-made satellite.
The second alternative consisted in drawing back and in profiting from a retreat by putting everything in shipshape order to bring about a new grouping of forces. They would allow the Germans to advance, and when the occasion showed itself favorable the French armies, along with the British army, would take the offensive and wage a decisive battle.
I might tell you about M. Nerincx's currency system; how he issued paper promises to pay when he gave employment to the idle in repairing those houses which permitted of being repaired, and cleaned the streets of debris, till ruined Louvain looked as shipshape as ruined Pompeii; and how he got a little real money from Brussels to stop depreciation when the storekeepers came to him and said that they had stacks of his notes which no mercantile concern would cash.
