All night they sat above, keeping watch over the home under the ground and awaiting the big attack by the pirates which obviously could not be much longer delayed. Even by day they hung about, smoking the pipe of peace, and looking almost as if they wanted tit-bits to eat.
There are uncertainties The voyage may last We may be weeks!" "But " "We shall be floating in this sphere with absolutely no occupation." "I wish I'd known " He peered out of the manhole. "Look!" he said. "There's something there!" "Is there time?" "We shall be an hour." I looked out. It was an old number of Tit-Bits that one of the men must have brought.
Of course he is his own master. But he is my son as well, and I cannot see him sacrificed without an effort to save him. When Clara came down to dinner on that day she was again Miss Amedroz, and she could perceive from Belinda's manner quite as plainly as from that of her ladyship that she was to have no more tit-bits of hashed chicken specially picked out for her by Lady Aylmer's own fork.
Water then seemed to him a much more agreeable element to pass one's time in than air. But, although wishing can do a great deal, it could not quite make a merman of Oscar. Theeda ate her dinners by herself except for the tit-bits that she gave to the prawns and snails, and the scraps that the fishes stole when they thought she was not looking.
