To have this menace added, together with worry over every man's personal safety in traveling about, was fairly intolerable. The inefficient posses were roundly berated, but no man volunteered to issue forth and "get" Matt Barger either alive or as a corpse. The man who arrived with the news was one of Van's cronies, Dave, the little station man whom Beth had met the morning of her coming.
The two were regular cronies for about a couple of months that is to say, between the payment of the preliminary deposit and the signing of the contract for building the house. But, the contract signed, their relations were once more troubled. Orgreave had nothing to fear, then, and besides, he was using his diplomacy elsewhere.
One's eye glances rapidly from side to side, until, on the left, an exceedingly narrow turning gives a peep such a peep as no other city can give unless it be Rouen of the Cathedral's western towers rising above a sumptuously enriched stone gateway framed by tall, timbered houses, which nod towards one another in the neighbourly fashion of old cronies.
And he pulled himself slowly out of the water, and lay upon the sand and groaned. Mr. Crow and his cronies gathered quickly about him. "What's the matter?" Mr. Crow inquired. "Don't you like flying?" It was some time before Timothy could answer. "I've had an awful fall," he moaned finally. "Where are you hurt?" Mr. Crow asked him. "Everywhere!" Timothy Turtle told him.
Werbrust, Palma, and Gigonnet, my cronies, shall hand over their expropriations to you; they have plenty of them, the Lord knows! So you will have two practices the one you are buying, and the other I will build up for you. You ought almost to pay me fifteen per cent on my loan. "'So be it, but no more, said I, with the firmness which means that a man is determined not to concede another point.
"If we hadn't gone out they might have exploded their powder, and, in the morning our initials would have been found at the bottom of the statue, burned in the stone." A little later loud talking was heard from the direction of Adrian's room. It quieted down, after a while. But there was a strenuous session at chapel the next morning, and Adrian and his cronies were given extra lessons to do.
The dark ground, thickly sown with mineral wealth, glittered in the moonlight as if a frost had fallen on it and made it gleam iridescently with millions of sparkling points of light. As the trio stole down the slope, dark figures from the Boy Inventors' camp followed them. Led by Zeb, they found hiding places and watched operations as Masterson and his cronies began to dig.
The two old cronies talked and talked about the things below, and finally Uncle Dave asked if there was any hunting up there. The reply was disappointing. "Meanwhile the angel kept urging Uncle Dave forward to salute the throne. But he loitered along, meeting former hunting acquaintances, and stopping with each for a social chat.
Farnum sent the boat out, to see if you young men want to go ashore," announced a voice from above. Within two minutes the three submarine boys were making for the shore. After reporting at the office of the yard, and finding that Mr. Farnum would not want them again that afternoon, the young cronies sauntered off up into the village.
His mother had often her junto of old cronies, to take a snug cup of tea with her in her comfortable little parlour; and Peter de Groodt, as he sat by the fire-side, with one of her grandchildren on his knee, would many a time congratulate her upon her son turning out so great a man; upon which the good old soul would wag her head with exultation, and exclaim, "Ah, neighbour, neighbour! did I not say that Dolph would one day or other hold up his head with the best of them?"
