In fact, she now appeared desirous of evading the subject, and there was about her an air of suppressed excitement. Her optimism was the best sort of bracer for the captain's failing courage. Her advice was always good, and a talk with her left him with shoulders squared, mentally, and almost happy.
"She has gone to bed. The day in the open made her sleepy." When Silvia had left us, the old farmer said with a chuckle: "I can't offer you another swig of stone fence." "It's probably just as well you can't," I replied. "I'd like to be introduced to one," said Rob, who appeared to be somewhat downcast. "I sure need a bracer." "What's the matter, Rob?" I asked when we were lighting our pipes.
The brandy bottle had but once before been out, but that night, when my bags were brought in, I handed it to George, that they might have a bracer, and be able to eat supper. Later on I was to learn that the game had not yet been played out. Again the joke was on me. They drank it all! The day following no one was astir early. I think no one slept much.
The weather during the whole of the preceding day had been brilliantly fine, with a light air of wind that, breathing out from the south-east at daybreak, had gradually hauled round until by noon it had settled at south; so that when I took my meridian altitude of the sun for the determination of our latitude, the Mercury was heading straight for the spot where my calculations declared the island to be, with all plain sail set to her royals, and with the weather bracer slightly checked.
The days were doing him good, all around, toughening his face, taking the poolroom pastiness out of it, putting a bracer in his back. Mackenzie noted the improvement as readily as it could be seen in some quick-growing plant. Mackenzie was living a very primitive and satisfactory life under a few yards of tent canvas since the loss of his wagon.
As she dressed she planned that ending to her own liking and according to the most approved rules of dramatic construction: The tinker should turn out a wandering genius, for in her heart she could not believe the accusations she had hurled against him the night past; when they reached Arden they would come upon the younger Burgeman, contemplating immediate suicide; this would give her her cue, and she would administer trust and a general bracer with one hand as she removed the revolver with the other; in gratitude he would divulge the truth about the forgery he did it to save the honor of some lady after which the tinker would sponsor him, tramping him off on the road to take the taste of gold out of his mouth and teach him the real meaning of life.
If she hangs on as well as this during the watch, she'll make good weather of it all right," I said. "I'm glad you think so, my son. Just call down to the steward to bring me a bracer. Whew, just look at that!" As he spoke a huge sea rose on the weather bow and bore down on the staggering ship.
The prisoners had christened this cellhouse, eighty feet long, twenty-eight feet wide, Limbo Lane. The regular guard of Limbo Lane, an immense, rough, kindly man, drew a pint bottle of whiskey from his pocket and offered it to Murray, saying: "It's the regular thing, you know. All has it who feel like they need a bracer. No danger of it becoming a habit with 'em, you see."
When they loved me, they would often, for this reason, object to my long continuance in it: but now, it is no matter what becomes of me. Besides, cold is a bracer, as my brother said yesterday. Here I will deposit what I have written. Let me have your prayers, my dear; and your approbation, or your censure, of the steps I have taken: for yet it may not be quite too late to revoke the appointment.
"Is there anything that Certina is good for?" "Sure! Didn't I tell you? It's the finest bracer " "As a cure?" "It's just as good as any other prup-proprietary." "That isn't the question. You say it is harmful in Bright's disease." "Why, looka here, Mr. Surtaine, you know yourself that booze is poison to any feller with kidney trouble. Rheumatism, too, for that matter.
