They had gotten away with about $500, missing a much larger sum in the safe. The authorities were notified, and a posse scoured the region, but fruitlessly. "Let's have a look at the safe they tried to open, Dad," begged Bud, when he and his cousins had ridden over to pay a week-end visit to the home ranch. "Did they try to drill it for an explosive?" "I don't believe so, son.
While engrossed in this reverie, he awoke to the fact that well-known landscapes were rolling past his window. Tidshot! There was the familiar landmark the tree-crested hill and the church. The station flashed by, and then the well-known training areas. "Just as if I were going up to town for the week-end!" he told himself. The familiar suburbs whizzed past.
He did not add that his friend's music had called up a vision of the Home drawing-room, clear in every detail; Lance at the piano his last week-end from Sandhurst playing the 'thing' by request; himself lounging on the hearthrug, his head against his mother's knee; the very feel of her silk skirt against his cheek, of her fingers on his hair.... Nor did he add that the vision had spurred his reluctant spirit to a resolve.
Carl had been back at work for less than one month, but he hoped that the Touricar was giving enough promise now of positive success to permit him to play during the evening. He rented a VanZile car for part time; planned week-end trips; hoped they could spend Then the whole world exploded.
They consoled themselves with sneers, he retorted with brutal scorn, and the feud kept increasing between them. They were standing at the Cross, to enjoy their Saturday at e'en, when Gourlay's "quarriers" as the quarry horses had been named came through the town last week-end.
The naturalist had saved the little creature from the struggle, but had unintentionally ruined and slain it in the process. It is the story of Gog and Magog over again. In my college days I used to go down to a quaint little English village for the week-end in order to conduct services in the village chapel on Sunday. I was always entertained by a little old lady whose face haunts me still.
"You'll have to hear worse things than that," he said pettishly, loosing her hand. "I've got to have a solicitor here. Later on you'll probably be only too glad that I had enough common sense to send for a solicitor. Somebody must have a little common sense. I expect you'd better send for Lawton.... Oh! It's Friday afternoon he'll have left early for his week-end golf, I bet."
"Sir Leslie was down at Bristow, where I was staying this last week-end," she explained. "I lost a good deal of money there at roulette. He very kindly took up my I.O.U.'s for me, and was offering when you came in to let it stand for a little time." "What is the amount?" Mannering asked. Clara did not answer. Her head sank again. Her uncle repeated his inquiry.
Once the town had been attacked by Indians; another time, lying in the path of one of Villa's hurried retreats, it had endured a week-end visit from that gentleman, after which horses and canned goods had been scarce for a while. The worst trouble they had had, however, had been with labor. They worked the mine with Mexicans, and the Mexicans were an uncertain quantity.
His father is always grumbling that Ellis is absolutely no good at all at the works, but the moment there's any question of Ellis going away for a holiday even if it's only a week-end then his father turns right round and wants to make out that Ellis is absolutely indispensable. Well, I got over his father. I always do, naturally. And it was settled that Ellis and I should go on the next Saturday.
