There was a rustle in the lilac-bushes near the cedar-tree; the three small heads turned simultaneously in that direction; something terrific was evidently seen, and with a horrified "OOOH!" the trio skedaddled headlong. They were but the gay vanguard of the life which the street, quite dead through the Sunday dinner-hour, presently took on.
I learned afterwards that this fellow was unhurt and was taken prisoner. That left it an even thing. We could see half a dozen planes rushing to attack the lone Boche. He saw them too. For he turned tail and skedaddled for home. Bonesie began to philosophize on the cold-bloodedness of air fighting and really worked himself up into an almost optimistic frame of mind.
"Well," assented Orde reservedly, "in that case I'm foreman on this drive because my outfit went kerplunk two years ago, and I'm making a fresh go at it." "Failed?" inquired Newmark. "Partner skedaddled," replied Orde. "Now, if you're satisfied with my family history, suppose you tell me what the devil you're driving at."
Whether natural or supernatural, long before our adventurers got near enough to decide, the creature, to use a phrase of very modern mention, "skedaddled", leaving them free, so far as it was concerned, to continue their retreat unmolested. It did not depart, however, until after delivering a salute, that left our adventurers in greater doubt than ever of its true character.
But we can never match our worsteds for that other piece of work, but are obliged to take any colour that comes, and therefore it is that we make such a jumble of it! Here's mamma. We must not be philosophical before her. Mamma, Major Grantly has skedaddled." "Oh, Lily, what a word!" "But, oh, mamma, what a thing! Fancy his going away and not saying a word to anybody!"
"But when you came on the ground, the whole coward gang skedaddled at once, and the brave chap you killed got his dose for good, for he stood his ground like a man! The girl didn't bother me. She fainted in good shape when the close fighting began. I was a dead winner from position. I could have stood them off for hours!" "You are a hero!" warmly cried Harry Hardwicke.
Yes, that's the word they skedaddled to the door, both of them, looking as limp as a cotton dress when it has been worn for a week, and one almost treading on the other's heels; and I do not think Prissie will be worried by them any more." "Really, Nancy, you look quite pretty when you are excited! Now, what did this wonderful Miss Peel do? Did she box the ears of those two detestable girls?
Where'd ye think he was goin'?" "What was he coming here for?" Jess sharply asked. "To see you, I guess." "How did he know where I was?" "H'm, he found out all right. Ye can't hide from him fer long. He thinks a lot of you, he sure does." "Where is he now, then?" "Oh, he skedaddled when he saw the fire. He was 'most scared t' death." "So he left you alone to save us?" Jess asked.
And then I up and skedaddled." Miss Gordon's conscience added its protest to that of her dignity, and she spoke. "I prefer that you should not discuss your various mistresses with me, Sarah Emily. I can have nothing to do with your affairs now, you see." Sarah Emily lilted the refrain of her song: "Timmy eigh timmy um, timmy tum tum tum, Of all false young men to beware!
To prove how true Andy's guess was, Mark shouted the next moment: "A bear two of them! Three! See that crowd of bears, will you? No wonder the wolves skedaddled." Several of the huge bears, like the one they had had the fight with on the glacier, appeared out of the woods and waddled on to the ice.
