But any time you find you'd like me to have him for a bit I mean sort of two's company, you know you'll just be making me a happy man eh?" It was a cheery voice behind him that caused his exclamation. Annie Gay stepped briskly up the path. "Why, it's Peter!" she declared. "Now if it had been Will," she added slyly.
"That's right, girlie," responded Clemm, as he ingratiatingly placed an arm about her wasp-like waist. "But two's company, and four's too much of a corporation for me." "Oh, Mr. Clemm nix on this in here Mr. Trubus is in his office, and he'll get wise...." As she spoke, not Mr. Trubus, but his estimable wife interrupted the progress of the courtship.
"I had a 'short' shadow and a 'long' shadow at Wickham's heels all day. You know what I mean. Instead of one man, two the second sleuthing in the other's tracks. If he escaped Number One, Number Two would take it up, and I was ready to move up into Number Two's place. They kept him in sight about all the time. Not a fact.
"They're just off to the caves," put in the girl. "While Mrs. Devar writes her postcards, I suppose?" said Medenham innocently. "What! Is that the old party with the hair? I thought she was the young lady's mother. She's gone with them. She looks that sort of meddler not half. Two's company an' three's none is my motto, cave or no cave." She tried her most bewitching smile on Medenham this time.
Up, and after an houre or two's talke with my poor wife, who gives me more and more content every day than other, I abroad by coach to Westminster, and there met with Mrs.
Haven't I told you I know when I'm beaten. I'm not so blind as not to be able to see that there's at any rate a prima facie case against me. I expect I shall get off with a year or two's imprisonment as accessory after the fact I think that's what they call it.
"I fail to see the object in claiming more range than one can occupy. It raises a legal question," said he, mounting. "Custom is the law of the range," replied Forrest. "The increase of a herd must be provided for, and a year or two's experience of beginners like you usually throws cattle on the market. Abundance of range is a good asset. Joel, get the gentleman a pencil and sheet of paper."
On the other hand, if Ney was still a day or two's march away, it was almost certain that I should be murdered by the peasants of the mountains or by fugitive soldiers. What was more, I had to travel alone, for my two brave hussars had orders to return to Taragona when we had found the infantry detachment. No matter; I determined to push on; but then came the difficulty of finding a mount.
How do you feel yourself? Are you much hurt?" "Not at all, not at all," said Sir Francis Varney. "Only a few bruises, and so forth, some of which, as you may perceive, do not add to one's personal appearance. A week or two's quiet would rid me of them. At all events, I would it may do the same with my enemies."
"I've had the time of my life here with you alone. And I'm going to wind up with you alone. No outsiders. Two's a company, three's a mob." Something, he knew not what, impelled sober, impassive Tom to sit down for a few moments on the edge of the bunk where his friend lay.
