Bela held the best cards. Sam finally threw down his work with an oath. "I can't stand it!" he cried shakily. "I don't care about myself, but I can't see a woman sacrificed even if it's your own mulishness! I don't care about you, either but you're a woman. You needn't think you're getting the best of me. I'll hate you for this but I can't stand it!" Bela sprang up swiftly and resolutely.
At the sound of the shot the whiskered one snatched his gun out, and the cashier shot him. Bud had sent a shot through the outside window and hit somebody whom, he did not know, for he had no time to look. The young fellow at the desk had whirled, and was pointing a gun shakily, first at he cashier and then at Bud.
Oh, my sakes alive! Why don't you come?" Mr. Bangs bumped into something. It was a gate in a picket fence and the gate swung open. He staggered up the path on the other side of that gate, the path which led to the doorway where the woman was standing. "Yes, madam," said Galusha, politely but shakily lifting the brown derby, "here I am." The woman started violently, but she did not run nor scream.
"What's up?" cried the skipper, darting up the companion-ladder, jostled by the mate. "I dunno," said Bill, who was at the wheel, shakily. "Mrs. Blossom come up on deck a little while ago, and since then there's been three or four heavy splashes." "She can't have gone overboard," said the skipper, in tones to which he manfully strove to impart a semblance of anxiety. "No, here she is.
For Toby had suddenly hidden her face against his shoulder and there was actual panic in the clinging of her arms. He laid a hand upon her head, and patted it lightly, admonishingly. She did not speak for a second or two, only gulped with desperate effort at self-restraint. Then, at length, in a muffled voice, "Don't let him take me away!" she besought him shakily.
I whirled about, my heart leaping wildly. Detective-Sergeant Durham was standing watching me, a grim smile upon his face! I laughed rather shakily. "Lucky indeed!" I said. "Thank God you're here. This pigtail is a nightmare which threatens to drive me mad!" The detective advanced and knelt beside the crumpled-up figure on the ground. He examined it briefly, and then stood up.
"I came along, Miss Doane," Daphne explained, "because Mr. Brierly said you were in some trouble, and I thought perhaps I might help you." Drusilla laughed rather shakily. "I'm afraid, Daphne, this is a case for your father. I've arrested the wrong man." "What do you mean?" said Mr. Thornton quickly. "I've got a preacher in jail or he was there unless Joseph can git him to come with him."
He leaned forward and caught the great necklace up in his eager hands. "What would I be wantin' that steamer in San Diego Bay for if I didn't know?" He held them up to the lamp light; he fingered them one after the other; he put them down at the end reverently and with a great sigh. "The worth of them, Headlong, my boy," he said shakily, "would make your pile look sick."
She lifted her face to his and shook her head, very gently. "No," she breathed through trembling lips. "You you've been " But there was a sob in her throat, and she hung her head again. "Not a word," ordered Maitland. "Th-thank you," whispered the small voice shakily. Maitland hesitated a moment, then turned upon Hickey in sudden exasperation.
The boys sat down and stared weakly at each other. For the first time, Rick noted that Scotty's hand was bleeding. He said shakily, "Here, let me look at that." The scientists rushed out of the house and demanded to know what had happened. The tank had blown through its devastating course so fast that they had not even had time to get outdoors.
