But not for long. Another danger was at hand. Moved by the boldness of the lad's efforts to escape, and in dread lest he might be successful, the leader of the four men, after a short consultation with the others, who tried to dissuade him, began to wade cautiously forward till the water grew too deep for him, and then creeping sidewise, he climbed on to the smooth wall, and began to imitate the course taken by Ralph; but before he had gone many yards, one of his companions shouted: "You'll go down, and be swep' away, and sucked in."
Though she was pale and her lips trembled, there was still about her a soothing atmosphere of peace. I was frightened, like the children. I longed to cry out as they had done; to bury my head away from the terrors somewhere, as they did in Grandma's lap. "That was the blackest squall," said Grandpa Keeler, afterwards; "that ever swep' across the Cape!" Terrible as it had been, it died quickly.
Sheba thought he was going to get up suddenly. But he remained seated, perhaps because Mr. Stamps began again. "Thar wasn't nothin' but them an' the bit of a' envelope," he remarked. "It was a-sticken in a crack o' the house, low down, like it hed ben swep' or blowed thar an' overlooked. I shouldn't hev seed it" modestly "ef I hedn't ben a-goin' round on my hands an' knees."
You thinking of mercenary things like that. Oh, Joe, it's almost funny." Joe's face flushed as far as it was capable of flushing. "Wal," he said, "I jest thought ther' wa'n't no use in two o' us settin' up." "Nor is there. I'm going to do it. You've made me feel quite fresh with your silly talk." "Ah, mebbe. Guess I'll swep up."
I see Josiah bore from me on the lava flood, and then agin I wuz swep' from him and dashed up on a billow of flame, and visey versey, versey visey. I had a dretful night, and got up twice and looked out of the winder on the grand spectacle.
Ah bet de cobwebs ain't been swep' off de top o' dat wardrobe since yo' poor mamma died." "It was too tall for Mrs. Carringford or me to reach it," admitted Janice. "Well, Ah's gwine to give dis place one fine over-haulin; come dis fall," went on Mammy Blanche. "Ah'll fix dem cobwebs." It proved to be unnecessary for Janice to worry about the housekeeping in any particular.
How these words echoed from pulpit and Senate and palace and hovel; how they wuz sung in verse, printed in poems, printed in flaming lines of electric light everywhere! From city to country, you saw and heard these words, "Remember the Maine!" I wondered then and I wonder now if the spirit of revenge that swep' through our nation at that time wuz the spirit of the Master.
"Ain't this fine," said Yan, as he sat on a pile of Fir boughs in the wigwam. "Looks like the real thing," replied Sam from his seat on the other side. "But say, Yan, don't make any more fire; it's kind o' warm here, an' there seems to be something wrong with that flue wants sweepin', prob'ly hain't been swep' since I kin remember." The fire blazed up and the smoke increased.
Though it's seven years since that cyclone swep' over them, they're all right and goin' ahead again, full swing, as if nothin' had happened." "And is Ross III. still king?" asked Nigel with much interest. "Ay at least he was king a few years ago when I passed this way and had occasion to land to replace a tops'l yard that had been carried away." "Then you won't arrive as a stranger?"
No, be hanged to it, it was swep off in another way. One night, at the countess's, there was several of us at supper Mr. Bloundell-Bloundell, the Honorable Deuceace, the Marky de la Tour de Force all tip-top nobs, sir, and the height of fashion, when we had supper, and champagne, you may be sure, in plenty, and then some of that confounded brandy.
