This was enough for the rest of the pack, all of whom stuck their tails between their legs and ran for their respective masters. Hearing the cries of men near at hand, Black Bruin slunk out of the thicket and off into the deep woods, but not soon enough to escape a fusillade of buckshot which whizzed about him as he ran, a few of them biting deep into his flesh.
'And then, I said, 'somebody whizzed out from nowhere and hit me. And after that I didn't seem to care much about him or anything else. I spoke in the direction of my captor. She was still standing outside the circle of light. 'I expect you can tell us what happened, Mrs Sheridan? I did not think that her information was likely to be of any practical use, but I wanted to make her speak again.
Three arrows aimed, not at the king but at Mena himself, were sticking in the charioteer's shield, and by chance he saw written on the shaft of one of them the words "Death to Mena." A fourth arrow whizzed past him. His eye followed its flight, and as he marked the spot whence it had come, a fifth wounded his shoulder, and he cried out to the king: "We are betrayed! Look over there!
Whey was the proprietor of the vehicle; nor was he a chauffeur, her American pride would not have permitted her to keep company with a chauffeur: he was the demonstrator for the Wizard, something of a wizard himself, as Lise had to admit when they whizzed over the tarvia of the Riverside Boulevard at fifty or sixty miles an hour with the miner cut out a favourite diversion of Mr.
"See that you don't burn the fish, my man," he said to Bert, affecting a languid drawl. "And you, my good fellow," he added, turning to Dick, "be sure and clean them thoroughly." He dodged just in time to avoid a fish head that Dick threw at him. It whizzed by his ear, and his quick duck detracted somewhat from his dignity.
"If thou couldst but have seen him. Father, when the arrow whizzed," and she laughed gaily in memory of the picture. "I have promised to punish thee." "Yea, as thou wilt." But she did not speak as if afraid. "Hear what I charge thee," he said in mock solemnity.
Again his revolver spoke and a bullet whizzed close to Colonel Anderson's head; but an Austrian soldier dropped. The others were taken by surprise, and relaxed their vigilance for a moment. And then Colonel Anderson and Chester, who had now recovered his balance, fired. Chester started as he recognized Hal's voice, which now called out: "Quick, Chester! To the right."
There was a loud report; a ball whizzed past, and we heard a cry of "In the king's name!" For answer we discharged our pistols almost at point-blank distance, and a horse rolled over heavily with its rider. "One down!" cried Jacques in triumph, drawing his sword and aiming a desperate blow at the leader, who called out "The boy! Capture the boy! Shoot his horse, you dolts!"
"These bullet-proof coats are some good, anyhow, at a distance," remarked Garrick, close beside me, as he took the bullet from my fingers. "Duck! Back among the trees until we get our bearings!" Another bullet had whizzed just past his arm as he spoke.
But Diva had evidently something else to say, for after finishing her tea she whizzed backwards and forwards from window to fireplace with little grunts and whistles, as was her habit when she was struggling with utterance. Long before it came out, Miss Mapp had, of course, guessed what it was. No wonder Diva found difficulty in speaking of a matter in which she had behaved so deplorably....
