The other was a burly giant, whose missing left little finger caused him to be nicknamed the Cripple. About what they had originally fallen out was not clear to any one, to themselves least of all. As the case stood when the second lamp was lit, Scholar had called Cripple a something-or-other liar, and Cripple, who was not inventive, had retorted by stigmatising Scholar as another.
It was a service that made men, and he thought of the English remittance-man, whose father was a lord of something-or-other, and who was learning to ride and shoot out there with red-headed, raucous-voiced Moody. There began to stir in him again the old desire for action, and he was glad when word was sent to him that Inspector MacGregor wished to see him in his office.
Francillon, and a seaman called Petersen; and when the song ended it was a little Italian something-or-other, very bright and gay and the clapping began and the calls for an encore, I couldn't stand it any longer, and I was afraid she'd be starting on 'Home, Sweet Home, or something of that sort, and I didn't want Mr. Francillon to see my face.
It was not that he was so clever, either. A fellow like Frenchy could have squeezed a whole lot out of him without his realizing it, but Captain von Something-or-other didn't know how to do it. And having failed, perhaps it was to his credit that he did not have Tom thrown back into the ocean. Tom would have liked to know whether the boat was still awash or completely submerged.
Clay, put up a fort in the harbor of Rio Janeiro during a revolution, and the officers on a German man-of-war saw it and copied the plans, and the Germans built one just like it, only larger, on the Baltic, and when the Emperor found out whose design it was, he sent Mr. Clay the order of something-or-other, and made him a Baron."
"That's it!" he exclaimed. "I knew it was ornery something-or-other, and and that makes it fit the case all the prettier, now don't it? Because in the last half-hour or so, since I left you here to tend to the cookin', I've been studying the birds somewhat myself. And having been a little successful, so to speak, I'm ornerier'n even before I commenced."
She set her down in her own mind as a London dame of fashion, perhaps a countess, or a Lady Something-or-other, who was going out to see America. "Your brother tells me this is your first voyage," said the lady. "Yes. He has been out before, but none of us were with him. It's all perfectly strange to me" with a sigh. "Why do you sigh? Don't you expect to like it?" "Why no, not like it exactly.
Sheepshanks back his five pounds." "O, come now!" the aëronaut objected. "And who may you be, to be ordering a man about?" "I believe I have already answered that question twice in your hearing." "Mosha the Viscount Thingamy de Something-or-other? I dare say!" "Have you any objection?" "Not the smallest.
He merely added, "I think we'd better try to give them the slip and steer clear of all the little native joints until we get to Girgeh, which is big enough to give us some protection. There must be an English something-or-other there.... I really think we ought to go as fast as we can now, and when the way is clear, hurry across the hills into the Nile valley." But the way did not become clear.
This last came one evening as a variant in the usual formula. It startled Chug a little, so that he held the girl off the better to look at her. She was Wanda something-or-other, and anybody but Chug would have been alive to the fact that she had been stalking him for weeks with a stolid persistence. "Danced with you three times to-night, haven't I?" he demanded.
