Then she related about the suicide of another inspector's mistress; she drowned herself because she was about to have a child. Then she told about a third inspector who got drunk in a bath-house and got into a tussle there with the mayor of the town. Shabalov was riding in a trap with Zherbenev. "It would be good to have a tasty snack," he said.
Between three and four, however, Raffles, suddenly looking at his watch, packed me off in a hurry to the other end of London for my things. "I'm afraid you must be famishing, Bunny. It's a fact that I eat very little, and that at odd hours, but I ought not to have forgotten you. Get yourself a snack outside, but not a square meal if you can resist one. We've got to celebrate this day this night!"
"I was looking forward to the old lady giving me a snack of breakfast.... But don't you mind me! I'll do all right. I got a bit of bread coming along from Gridgport.... Ah! Bridgport I should have said." For he had begun to say Grantley. Even if Mrs. Solmes had not been on the point of offering rest and refreshment, this disclaimer of the need of it would have suggested that she should do so.
You can believe me or not, but half the time with just me to eat it, I wouldn't bother with more than a cold snack for supper and every one knew what a table we used to set. But with no one to come home evenings expecting a hot meal " "You poor little woman. I know how it is.
Let me propose a snack between sermons, a bottle of my particular green seal and when nobody is looking we can talk blazons, Mr. Ducie!" which was the name I then used and had already incidentally mentioned, in the vain hope of provoking a return in kind. "I beg your pardon, sir; do I understand you to invite me to your house?" said I. "That was the idea I was trying to convey," said he.
"And it is ten hours since I had anything to eat, ladies; and I wish you would permit me to invite you to supper." "Dad," said Costigan, "I'd loike a snack to; only I forgawt me purse, or I should have invoited these leedies to a collection." Mrs. Bolton with considerable asperity said, She ad an eadache, and would much rather go ome.
"Hullo!" he cried. "Any news of the gray car?" "Yes, sir, I think so," was the somewhat surprising answer. "When I dropped you last night I got a fare to Euston. Then I took a gentleman to the Langham, an', as I felt like a snack, I pulled into the nearest cab rank. I was having some corfee an' a sandwich when I 'appened to speak about the gray car to one of ahr chaps. 'That's odd, he said.
I wonder if it is going to impose on you to ask one of you to go to Hobart, it's only about four miles from here, and get help to take me home, for although my leg does not seem to be broken, I cannot stand on it, much less walk," he concluded. "Don't worry about getting home. We'll have a snack of food and then make a stretcher and have you there in no time," said Garry.
Of course it was not like Dick's, as it designed to carry but three passengers. "We're going to make the trip in about forty-eight hours, so we won't need much space," said Uncle Ezra. "We can eat a snack as we go along. And we can sleep in our seats. I've got to cut down the expense somehow. It's costing me a terrible pile of money!"
But spirits must be elastic in forest air. When they halted at noon to eat their "snack" on the side of a breezy knoll, with a tiny brook purling through a pine grove beneath them, with Katahdin's rugged sides and cloud-veiled peaks looming in majesty to the north, the thought of what lay behind was inevitably lost in what lay before. Enthusiasm replaced depression.
