Then, levelling his nozzle, the fireman proceeded to wash back from either side of the street those who had sought refuge there, and before many minutes had elapsed, the street was cleared, and in command of Maitland's specials.
"Why not?" rasped the red-headed man. "There's only one ship a month!" "Sometimes," said Hoddan, "there are specials. But I commend your negligence. It was probably good for me." He charged one pistol, and snapped its butt shut, and snapped open another, and charged it. There was no difficulty, of course. In minutes all the pistols he'd brought from Walden were ready for use again.
A flight of Focke-Wulf 190's broke out of a big cloud and roared in on them. "Break for action. Cover specials!" Sim called. The formation of Thunderbolts broke up and the fight was on. As usual the Jerries were not aiming to close with the Yanks. They were willing to pick off a cripple or a plane cut out from the flight but not to make it a real battle.
It came about accidentally for he had abandoned the idea that he could ever do anything in newspaper work, which was the field he had originally contemplated. Here there was great need for cheap Sunday specials of a local character, and in reading some of these, which were given to him for illustration, he came to the conclusion that he could do much better himself.
Jimmie turned and raised a plump hand with a sharply-quirked little finger and a dangle of lace-edged handkerchief. "You're a swell, my dear. You're in with the specials and the classic knot." "What do you mean?" "You're going to read Gerty, or something no idiots admitted. You're going it, Hendy. Ta-ta. Fly! Don't stick in the mud, old slowcoach."
A policeman had been killed two injured the rioters had gained a footing in the market-hall, and driven out both the police and the specials and after all, the soldiers had been sent for. Helena wandered down to the gate of the farm lane opening on the main road, consumed with restlessness and anxiety. If only they had let her go with them!
If the apostle had here mentioned governments only, and none other kind of officers with them, there had been some color for this exception, and some probability that the apostle had meant governors in general and not in special: but when the apostle sets himself to enumerate so many special kinds of officers, apostles, prophets, teachers, &c., how far from reason is it to think that in the midst of all these specials, governments only should be a general. 3.
It was because they were on duty, every man at his post, whatever that might be, and because Brainerd and myself having newly arrived and being for the moment unoccupied were both near and available. Because, too, we were specials, that is, not subject to routine orders. The robbery had really been a large one, and a bold one.
We were placed in the centre of a phalanx of specials, each guarded by two regulars; and so the triumph, followed by a train that swelled at every turning, moved slowly along the Sacred Way toward the temple of the station-house, where the municipal Jupiter Capitolinus sat in his glory.
But beyond a mule falling on its back into O.B.1, we had no serious troubles, and got our rations every night with great regularity. The enemy were not very active, although they were reported to be the 6th Bavarians, "Prince Rupprecht's Specials."
