Those who were wounded, but not overthrown, would generally sit down quite gently and quite deliberately, with puzzled looks in their eyes. Since still there was neither sign nor sight of the well-hidden enemy the thought took root in the minds of the men as yet unscathed that, advancing too fast, they had been caught in the drop curtain of their own barrage.
Her victory, as it seemed to her, won so easily and containing good promise of further success in the future, cheered her immensely, and it was in almost a happy mood that she went unto the garden after lunch and met Dunn in a quiet, well-hidden corner, where he had been waiting and watching for long.
He could see officers and men moving about in them and almost in front of him a well-hidden machine gun was traversing No Man's Land in an oblique direction, striking the British at such an angle as to make it difficult for them to locate it. Tarzan watched, toying idly with the rifle of the dead German. Presently he fell to examining the mechanism of the piece.
Dotty sat down too, and felt of Blot's small and well-hidden bones. As neither animal gave any cry of pain and as each glared at its late opponent, the respective owners of the combatants drew sighs of relief and held on tightly to their pets, lest a fresh attack should begin.
At any other time, with any other person, Henry's retort to this would have been rude, but the momentous events which depended on his civility restrained him. "I find it soothing," he said with much gravity, "if I get overworked or worried." The old man regarded him with unfeigned astonishment, a grim smile lurking at the corners of his well-hidden mouth.
He was the equal of many in intellect, but his bodily strength was not equalled by any in his youth and manhood. The secret of his one well-hidden vanity lay in that. His moral power showed itself in his assumed modesty about it, for it was almost impossible to prevail upon him to make exhibition of it.
Before evening new contract-boots, bought from the Mukhbir, were distributed to the soldiers and all the quarrymen, who limped painfully on their poor bare feet: next day all wore their well-hidden old boots. Early on March 14th we ascended the Wady el-Kaimah, which showed a singular spectacle, and read us another lecture upon the diversity of formation which distinguishes this region.
So it was this way the poor old Hollow was dropped on to, and the well-hidden secret blown for ever and ever. Well, it had been a good plant for us and them as had it before our time. I don't expect there'll ever be such a place again, take it all round. And that was the end of father! Poor old dad! game to the last. And the dog, too! wouldn't touch bit or sup after the old man dropped.
The other was her well-hidden disappointment that she had been childless. Hetty's bluff, weathered features would never admit to loneliness or heartache. Beneath the surface, all the warmth and love she had went out to the scared but belligerent youngster. But she never let much affection show through until Johnny had become part of her life.
And now when this wretched, misguided young man could keep his folly a secret no longer, he was bringing his wife and child home. The resident gentry sat thunderstruck. Did he expect they could call? Who was to be positive there had been a marriage at all. And poor Inez Catheron! Ah it was very sad very sad. There was a well-known, well-hidden taint of insanity in the Catheron family.
