"Um-m," Lucile answered back. And the next moment they were both fast asleep. All through the night they slept there with the Great Dipper circling around the North Star above them, and with the ice-floe carrying them, who could tell where? The two following days were spent in fruitless hunting for wild duck and in making trips to the rubbish pile.
Yet if the plans were not lost, what became of them? He told me yesterday that he himself handed them to the person who was at that time acting as my secretary. You catch the point?" "Um-m," grunted Griffith, his face as emotionless as a piece of crackled wood. "Young Ashton was my secretary. He resigned the next day.
"Of course! It could not possibly be any of our people!" exclaimed the girl. "Mr. Ashton thinks it might have been his guide," went on Gowan. "His guide? What caliber was his rifle?" shrewdly queried the cowman. "Why, I really I cannot remember," answered Ashton. "I know it was of a larger bore than mine, but that is all." "Um-m," considered Knowles. "Looks rather like he's the man.
"Mine are great!" McGee enthused. "Stiff, crusty young C.O., who needs a couple of crashes one fatal, maybe but the rest of them are fine. Great bunch of pilots." "Yeah?" Still reading, but doubtful. "See any of 'em fly?" "No-o," slowly, "of course not." "Um-m. Well, wait until they begin sticking the noses of those new Spads in the ground, and then tell me about 'em.
"How so?" "Why, I'll be turning honest. It seems to pay." "Um-m. Probably I'd better keep all this Nelson money and leave you " "Oh, not at all," the junior partner said, quickly. "That isn't an oil deal, strictly speaking, for you say there ain't oil enough on the land to grease a jackknife. I look on it as a real-estate speculation."
If I once get into the city I shall manage somehow to get out again, and bring her with me." "Um-m!" The general appraised O'Reilly speculatively. "No doubt you can get in it is not so difficult to enter, I believe, and especially to one who speaks the language like a native. But the return I fear you will find that another matter. Matanzas is a place of pestilence, hunger, despair.
Anyhow, my wife says that when I die 'twill be of salt water on the brain, and I'm sure Zach's head is part cabbage. Been better for him if he'd stuck to his garden. However, I s'pose he does his best." "They say angels can do no more." "Um-m. Well, Zach'll be an angel pretty soon if he keeps on cruisin' with that old hooker as she is.
"I hope the alumnæ who are wandering around admire our taste in presidents." "Maybe," Robbie spoke reflectively, "they're almost as much interested in their classmates as we are in ours." "Um-m," said Bea, "why, maybe so they are. I never thought of that before. Robbie, you're my liberal education. Now, then, attention!
"I tell you, you'll sail with us, else I shall leave her at Port Mozambique and come back for you." "Um-m if you take it that hard! But are you sure you can keep her satisfied till we put in there?" "Trust me for that. If she becomes apprehensive, I'll put it that you'd rather be married in port, by the American consul." "That's no lie. Say, what's the use of waiting till dark?
They have a way of jumping out at me and crying 'Boo! when I least expect it." "Um-m! I see. Mr. Dietz told me that he was under lifelong obligation to a certain Colonel Calvin Gray. Something to do with passports " "I once rendered him a slight favor." "He doesn't regard the favor as 'slight. He was about to be imprisoned for the duration of the war and you managed to get him back home."
