When we stacked arms at Bethel that evening, there were only four men of Co. D in line, just enough to make one stack of guns, but my gun was in the stack. There was no earthly necessity for making this march in one day.
Through the desert spaces of this great structure Odo wandered at will, losing himself in its network of bare chambers, some now put to domestic uses, with smoked meats hanging from the rafters, cheeses ranged on shelves and farmer's implements stacked on the floor; others abandoned to bats and spiders, with slit-like openings choked by a growth of wild cherries, and little animals scurrying into their holes as Odo opened the unused doors.
You said you didn't know Bill McKay when I know you do. You've said he hadn't given you any orders. You've " "You're crazy," scoffed Rector. "I reckon if I am that you're more so if you think I am going to gulp down all them fairy stories. You're young. Mebby you don't know the kind of a game you've stacked up against, but " "I ought to have some idea about it by this time," returned Ned.
The doctor brought his hand down on the edge of the footboard of the bed, with a gesture of impatience. "Why on earth do people treat themselves with quack remedies they know nothing about?" "Quack remedies!" cried Sypher. "Of course. They're all pestilential, and if I had my way I'd have them stacked in the market place and burned by the common hangman.
It had been decided that the whole of the timber should be cut, sawn, and stacked in the ship- yard before even the keel-blocks were laid down, so that it might become at least partially seasoned before being worked into the hull, and this was accomplished in rather less than a couple of months.
The corn is all roughly stacked around a dry, firm spot, where great numbers of mules and horses are driven on a trot round a centre, a woman holding the reins, and another, or a girl or two, with whips drive; the men supply and clear the floor; other parties are dressing, by throwing the corn into the air for the wind to blow away the chaff.
The infantry column had halted in the road, stacked their arms, and the men were scattered about some lying in the shade of the trees, and others were bringing corn-stalks from a large corn-field across the road to feed our horses, while still others had arms full of the roasting-ears, then in their prime.
Harris said: "Look here, the sun isn't the spectacle it's US stacked up here on top of this gallows, in these idiotic blankets, and two hundred and fifty well-dressed men and women down here gawking up at us and not caring a straw whether the sun rises or sets, as long as they've got such a ridiculous spectacle as this to set down in their memorandum-books.
We were to cover either side of the road twice, so I had arranged to use half the number of plates during each there-and-back journey. The R.F.C. camera used by us is so simple as to be called foolproof. Eighteen plates are stacked in a changing-box over the shutter. You slide the loading handle forward and backward, and the first plate falls into position.
Here and there were the field infirmaries where their wounded were being attended to and where all the surplus baggage had been stacked before the battle. On reaching Zoar Church, some five miles in rear, we encountered Sedgwick's advance line of skirmishers, and a heavy fusilade began.
