"For that matter I'm sure the French steamer must be still far out at sea, with a day or two's journey ahead of her," Colin assured him. "Then it's my game, provided we don't run across some U. S. army authorities who'd want to know our names and hold us for investigation, which would knock everything flat." "We're going to try to avoid all that bother," Beverly assured him.
In the branches of the tree were two good-sized attempts at fowls of some description, while a third huge creature was flying near. She read the comments in order. "There were three crows sat on a tree, And they were black as crows could be." "The breaking waves dashed high, Caught the pilgrims on the fly." "Two's a company, three is none." "Good-morning! do you use Pears' Soap?"
"Below us is the mouth of the Gironde, yonder the open sea." "Our journey is nearly at an end, then," said Jeanne. "I trust so. A day or two's delay, perhaps; I cannot tell." Toward evening they were lodged at an inn close to the shore, a deserted spot where they were unlikely to be disturbed. "After dark, Monsieur Barrington, I propose to leave you, and take your man with me," said Sabatier.
Or would he decide that there was no hurry about it, and that he might as well rather keep away from the Buckney house until he'd made up his mind?" "I suppose he might convince himself that an hour or two's delay wouldn't matter!" said the doctor, laughing.
But it was pleasant this morning to hear Hollis give me the account what, he says, he told the King in Commissioner Pett's presence, whence it was that his ship was fit sooner than others, telling the King how he dealt with the several Commissioners and agents of the Ports where he comes, offering Lanyon to carry him a Ton or two of goods to the streights, giving Middleton an hour or two's hearing of his stories of Barbadoes, going to prayer with Taylor, and standing bare and calling, "If it please your Honour," to Pett, but Sir W. Pen says that he tells this story to every body, and believes it to be a very lie.
'As many windows, so many towels, I said with disappointment, as I checked them off carefully. 'Damn! said Dick meditatively. Then after a moment or two's thought, 'The old boy's cell must have been on the roof; he was sure to have been an astrologer. Let's go up again and start afresh. So saying he led the way up to the parapet of the battlements, and there we surveyed the roof.
The families of the county gentry here represented, though generally living at a day or two's journey apart, were more intimate with each other than with the farmer folk, directly surrounded by whom, they lived. They met now like members of one family, the sense of unity heightened by the present necessity of defending the interests of their order, sword in hand, against the rabble.
Suakim would have been the best place in some respects, because there are lots of English there and we should have no difficulty in getting money to pay the sheiks; but after all it is only a question of a week or two's delay at the most.
And when Clemence asked her to follow immediately, declared, with a toss of the head, "she couldn't see it, two's a company and three's a crowd, you know. I wasn't called for, and I never go where I ain't wanted. Hurry up, too, and get rid of him, for there's all this work to be done before mother comes home."
If the guns up in the firing line had to shift position it has meant no more to the teams than a break of the monotony for a day or two, a night or two's marching, and a return to the rear. It is afternoon now, and the regiment is drawing near to the trenches. The slanting sun begins to throw long shadows from the poplars.
