With a little cry the ape sprang to his side, an act which only added to the amazement of the others. "Allow me," said Billie with mock gravity, "to introduce my friend Mr. Ab from No-man's-land. Ab, these are the rest of the Broncho Rider Boys. How would you like to join the company?" Ab scratched his ear and looked wise. "Oh, come," interrupted Donald.
Bowack alludes to it thus: "There is also a handsome ancient seat in Fulham Field called No-Man's-Land House, now belonging to Wild, Esq. The piece of ground which it stands on was known as No-Man's-Land." The date 1664 is worked into the iron scroll-work of a gateway.
Courts had figured in former matters, but at this time they were not appealed to, owing to the circumstances. This incident occurred on leased Indian lands unprovided with civil courts, in a judicial sense, "No-Man's-Land."
Consequently there was a great waste No-man's-land between the western boundary of Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas, and the scattered communities on the Pacific slope. It was a waste broken only by the presence of the Mormons in Utah, of nomadic tribes of Indians on the plains, and of tribes of more settled habits on the eastern border.
We are in No-Man's-Land, strung in a line of shell-holes, from which in sixteen hours' time the attack is to start. Soon after 3 a.m. I set out to visit all the scattered groups of men to give my last instructions, for from dawn onwards no movement would be possible. It was an eerie situation.
"He's gone to secure the paper he saw Captain Waterman throw," was Penrose's reply. A second later Major Blundell was leaning over the sand-bags, looking across the "No-man's-Land" towards the enemy's trenches. By this time a number of other men had gathered; as if by magic the news had flown, and for a moment even discipline was in abeyance.
He used to say: "When you have come through what I have, you won't be so ready to pick a quarrel with a man." This must have meant something significant, but the blacksmith never took anyone into his confidence; and "down East" is a vague place, a sort of indefinite, unlocalized no-man's-land, situated anywhere between Toronto and Quebec.
At these words the poor Cobbler gazed all around him with his great blue eyes as round as those of a dead fish, while his mouth gaped as though he had swallowed all his words and so lost his speech. Robin also gaped and stared in a wondering way, just as the Cobbler would have done in his place. "Alack-a-daisy, me," quoth he. "I know not whether I be sitting here or in No-man's-land!
Even in that limbo or no-man's-land where I was wandering, lights were made in the houses; sashes were flung up; I could hear neighbouring families converse from window to window, and at length I was challenged myself. "Wha's that?" cried a big voice.
That was the situation when the pair arrived from no-man's-land; there was no chance of getting bail at this time of night. The outlaw slept behind the bars; and when the morning came he sent for the lawyer who was always retained by the stock-rustlers, a criminal attorney by the name of Goodrich.
