"I think she will do, Feltham," he said. The chauffeur touched his cap and grinned broadly. "She did it in thirty-eight minutes, sir; not bad for a twenty-mile run half of it through London." "Not bad," agreed Mr. Holland, slowly stripping his gloves. The car was drawn up at the entrance to the country cottage which a lavish expenditure of money had converted into a bijou palace.
We must make a night of it, boys; if the tents are to be struck before daylight it will be mighty little use your turning in." "You won't catch me sitting up all night," Terence said, "with perhaps a twenty-mile march in the morning, and maybe a fight at the end of it.
"He is in his own shanty on my farm," he said then. "Blue Hill Farm it is called. You can't go to him there. It's a twenty-mile ride from here." "Can't I get a horse to take me?" she asked. "I could take you in my cart," said Burke slowly. "And will you?" Sylvia said. "I suppose you will go in any case," he said. "I must go," she answered steadily. "I don't see why," he said.
That storied twenty-mile march from Boston to Concord was mapped, re- mapped, discussed and explained, and is still being explained and wondered at by descendants of the embattled farmers. All of which is beautiful and well; and he who cavils concerning it, let his name be anathema.
If this could be effected, the fatal gap between them made by Von Mackensen's battering-ram would be repaired, and they could once more present a united front to the enemy. But from Tarnow southward to Tuchow, a small twenty-mile salient on the Biala, the Russians are still in possession on May 4, 1915, defying the Fourth Austro-Hungarian Army.
The tents were struck and packed away in their bags, and piled in order to be handed over to the quartermaster; and in a few minutes over an hour from the receipt of the order, the two battalions were in motion. After a twenty-mile march, they halted for the night near the frontier. An hour later they were joined by twenty troopers of a Portuguese regiment, under the command of a subaltern.
By and by they struck into the twenty-mile bush beyond the valley farms. In the second day of their travel they passed an Albany trader going east with small kegs of rum on a pack of horses and toward evening came to an Indian village. They were both at the head of the herd. "Stop," said Solomon as they saw the smoke of the fires ahead. "We got to behave proper."
And to their further joy I put my cheek down against Matthew's throttle arm and closed my eyes so that I did not see anything of the twenty-mile progression out to Elmnest. I only opened them when we arrived in Riverfield at about half after three o'clock. Was the village out to greet me? It was not.
Now they were obliged to face the fact that unless a twenty-mile plain of ice broke up within six weeks, they must bid a long farewell to their beloved ship and return to their homes as castaways. So with the arrival of the relief ships there fell the first and last cloud of gloom which was ever allowed on board the Discovery.
Fox, hounds and light were all done together at the of a twenty-mile point. We made some noise then, but nobody came out of the queer old house. I felt pretty stiff as I walked round to the hall door with the mask and the brush while James went with the hounds and the two horses to look for the stables.
