With a basket, furnished with a lid, slung to his back, in which to secure the eggs or eaglets, young Hemingway began his laborious and dangerous ascent, while the professor, gun in hand, watched him from the ground below. The boy quickly proved the possession of unusual skill as a climber.
But they climbed more than he had intended because Ann Veronica proved rather a good climber, steady-headed and plucky, rather daring, but quite willing to be cautious at his command. One of the things that most surprised him in her was her capacity for blind obedience. She loved to be told to do things.
Tam saw Lasky die and glimpsed the flaming wreck of the boy's machine as it fell, then he found himself attacked on two sides. But he was the swifter climber the faster mover. He shot impartially left and right and below there was nothing above him after the first surprise. Then something went wrong with his engines they missed, started, missed again, went on then stopped.
After the defeat of Mathias, Podjebrad captured Trosky, but as the owner came to terms, he was allowed to retain his castle. The towers are all that remain of the castle; the curtain wall has been broken down. The lower tower can be reached by a climber with a steady head, but not without risk of life. The higher tower is quite inaccessible.
If Diantha imagined that her arithmetical victory over a too-sordid presentation of the parental claim was a final one, she soon found herself mistaken. It is easy to say putting an epic in an epigram "She seen her duty and she done it!" but the space and time covered are generally as far beyond our plans as the estimates of an amateur mountain climber exceed his achievements.
He wondered if he would have felt the one without the other. Camp life and the daily climbing over the ridges made of him a lithe, strong, sure-footed mountaineer. They made even the horse- riding cowboy a good climber, though nothing, Neale averred, would ever straighten Larry's bow legs. Only two incidents or accidents marred the work and pleasure of those fruitful weeks.
It isn't wise to have a conniption fit every time you lose a trick. Nothing looks so bad as a conniption fit when it doesn't match the complexion, and generally it delays the game. When the game is close don't get excited and climb up on the table. It shows a want of refinement, especially if you are not a quick climber. Never whistle while waiting for someone to play.
The next minute the bold climber had jumped over the wall and anxiously cried: "Count of Monte-Cristo, we must first rescue the child." He took a long rope and bound it round Spero's waist. Then he let the boy gently over the parapet. "Papa," came Spero's voice from below, "I am safe." The stranger pulled the rope up anew, and said as he turned to the count: "It is your turn now." "But you?"
But he felt no physical discomfort, only the exhilaration of a rock climber with the summit in sight, or a polo player with a clear dribble before him to the goal. At last he was playing a true game of hazard, and the chance gave him the keenest joy. All the hot afternoon he scrambled till he came to the edge of a new valley. Nazri must lie beyond, he reasoned, and he kept to the higher ground.
Its other three sides are enclosed by a stockade of thorns or wooden palings as a protection against wild beasts or attack by dacoits, bands of robbers who until recently lurked in the jungles, and often raided outlying and unprotected villages. The stockade is nearly always overgrown with creeping plants, yellow convolvulus, tropæolum, and a charming little climber like canariensis.
