So, too, Laura's letters were fewer and briefer. "Dick didn't really care for her, I guess," Belle decided, almost vengefully. "Then the bigger idiot he is, for there aren't many girls like Laura born in any one century! But Dick sees a good many girls at West Point, and perhaps he has grown indifferent to his old friends. There are a good many very 'swell' girls who visit West Point, too.
That granite-like fragment struck Hazelton's foot with full force. "You -you scoundrel!" groaned Harry, in an all but admiring gasp. Like a flash he bent over, snatching up the fragment for his own use. "Now, I'll slam you into the middle of the Gulf of Mexico!" cried the young engineer, vengefully, as he tried to straighten up. A groan escaped him.
It may well be that he has been saved from prison by dying early of tuberculosis. He may have been saved from a railroad wreck by going to jail. Infinite are the tricks of chance. Infinite are the combinations and consequences that may come from turning the cards in a single deck. Who is the perfect one that should be willing to punish vengefully his fellow-man?
The domes existed no longer. Up and up, and up.... And then they swooped down upon the suddenly fleeing enemy. Vengefully, savagely, with all the fury of men avenging not only what they have suffered, but also what they have feared, the combat-squadrons of the United Nations fell upon the invaders. Green hexynitrate explosions lighted up the sky.
"Anyone who didn't want me to pitch to-morrow's game, perhaps," flashed Dick, with sudden divination. "What's this?" demanded a boy, breaking in through the small crowd that was collecting. "Dick -you hurt?" It didn't take Dave many seconds to understand the situation. "I'll bet I know who did it!" he muttered, vengefully. "Who?" spoke up one of the men. But Dick gave a warning nudge.
Burr!" The little dried-up German officer's eyes flashed vengefully as he spoke of the matter, and he was all the more incensed an instant later when, rather anticipating some fun for to the German comrades of this officer the ill-treatment of a prisoner was certainly fun these men drew nearer, and, hearing his words, one of them a huge, fat, unwieldy person, with flabby cheeks and pendulous chin, to say nothing of the huge girth which he presented giggled and chortled loudly, and suddenly placed a heavy hand on the lieutenant's shoulder a hand the weight of which caused him to stagger.
"I don't believe a word of that, Ted," Dick broke in energetically. "I'm telling you just as it happened," Teall protested. "Oh, I guess you are, all right. But I don't believe Hi had his watch with him. If he had had it, he would have worn a chain or a fob, and I didn't see any, did you, fellows?" "If I thought he had fooled me " muttered Ted vengefully.
"You'd never dare shoot a man until his back was turned. You don't dare shoot me even then," and he deliberately turned his back full upon the sailor and walked nonchalantly away as if to put him to the test. The sailor's hand crept slyly to the butt of one of his revolvers; his wicked eyes glared vengefully at the retreating form of the young Englishman.
"It's an old trick in a crowd this sort of sham sickness." "And he got all my Christmas money every cent of it and carried it off with him!" wailed one woman, who looked as though she could not afford to lose much money. "He snatched my locket with the diamond in it!" vengefully exclaimed another woman, exhibiting the broken ends of a neck chain. "My purse is gone. I had forty-two dollars in it."
The Doctor was obliged to acknowledge that the Major's counsel was wise, and to refrain from either argument or sarcasm; but the effort required to check his natural tendency to wordy conflict was almost too great for him, and when not engaged in his own special duties he spent hours in one of the angles of the terrace keenly watching every tree and bush within range, and firing vengefully whenever he caught sight of a lurking native.
