"Why should Kagig choose just this time to guide a hunting party? If any man knows trouble's brewing, I suspect be surely does. Anything can happen in the interior. I recall, for instance, a couple of Danes, who went with a guide not long ago, and simply disappeared. There are outlaws everywhere, and it's more than a theory that the public officials are in league with them."
I'd been tied up about three weeks when the justice looked in one day, and after inquiring for me, and saying, 'good morning, Jack, and seeming a little by the head: 'about this affair of yourn, Jack, says he, 'now, if you'll mind your eye when you get out my trouble's worth ten dollars and pay me, I'll discharge you, and charge the costs to the State.
As soon as her eye fell on her little brother, Ann started toward him, but the Knight-mare held her back. "No use," said he. "Wait a bit, and I'll tell you when the real trouble's going to begin." The children had no choice but to obey, and their attention was soon occupied by the strange sights before them.
"Well, trouble's coming all right," prophesied Frank. "There are lots of new faces in the city, fellows who seem to have come from the outside. You know Germany's being ripped up the back everywhere by mobs, and the red flag is flying in Berlin. I have a hunch that these outsiders have come to start the same thing here." "If they do they'll get more than they bargained for," said Bart grimly.
"I stopped his two letters when they came," went on Mrs. Mills. "Many a woman in my position would have been curious enough to open them; I didn't. I simply put them in a drawer where they can be found when the trouble's all over. No one can blame me for that, surely." Mr. Trew mentioned that it was a rummy world, and the methods adopted by the people living in it did not make it the less rummy.
"Of course you know soldiers have believed that trouble's coming. I used to doubt, but by God I am sure of it now. Just a froth of fine words at the opening and afterwards honest rivalry and let the best man win? Not a bit of it! Team-running a vile business the nations parked together in different sections of the Stadium like enemies and ill-will running here and there like an infection!
You see, the trouble's here: In trying to make an easier road for you than your mother had, I looked all the time at the further end instead of the nigh end. And I was so afraid that when you got further on there'd be no backing for you, that I left you without a backing now. But we will start right over new.
For ten minutes the crew of the Etta watched it until, when more than a mile distant, the waterspout collapsed more suddenly than it had formed and from the foam-covered water a great wave rolled outward, spreading until the Etta rocked in its path. "Thank goodness, that trouble's over," said Dick to the captain.
They will fly at our throats, sir. Don't forget, sir, she isn't a British ship now. These brutes know it well, too. The damned Siamese flag." "We are on board, all the same," remarked Captain MacWhirr. "The trouble's not over yet," insisted Jukes, prophetically, reeling and catching on. "She's a wreck," he added, faintly.
Trouble's hat, being of felt, held water just as a dish or a basin would have done, but the little fellow had to hold it very carefully in his lap between his knees as he sat on the table, or he would have squeezed his hat and the water would have spilled out. But when Trouble really wanted to do anything he could be very careful. And he wanted, very much this time, to make that cake.
