"You are not at all obnoxious to me; but I am really anxious to rejoin my party. My husband will begin to wonder what has become of me. Ah, there is my stepdaughter coming to look for me." Yes, there was Miss Granger, slowing advancing towards them. She had been quite in time to see George Fairfax's entreating gestures, his pleading air.
The ticking, too, became less aggressive and relentless, less sure of itself, almost as though it were slowing up. There was a plaintive note behind the metallic sharpness. The great kitchen clock also was aware of a conspiracy hatching against Time....
Charles decided to wait and trust to luck to escape in the crowd at Charing Cross if the man made any move there. In ten minutes the train was running into Charing Cross station at slowing speed. Charles's mouth closed tightly, and his face flushed. The man in the corner seat flattened his newspaper into a pocket, opened the carriage door, and sprang out on to the platform.
I looked back, and saw that it was slowing down close behind our imposing auto, from which a few small pieces of luggage for the night were being removed. The Red Cross travellers were evidently impatient. They did not wait for our chauffeur to drive away. The conductor of the car jumped down and opened the door of his nondescript vehicle.
For a time the limousine kept straight on in its headlong course, then, of a sudden, it swerved to the left, the gleam of a river all silver with moonlight struck up through a line of trees on one side of the car, the blank unbroken dreariness of a stretch of waste land spread out upon the other; and presently, by the slowing down of the motor, Ailsa guessed that they were nearing their destination.
"Must be two trains pass here," cried Julius, and he ran ahead to the hotel hand who was still waving his lantern, although the train was slowing to a standstill. "There's another train to-night?" he questioned. "No, sir. This one's all the' is to-night." Julius turned and looked at his friend. "Well, I certainly have got you into a nice scrape," he said solemnly.
You are away behind the freshmen and sophomores. You would be white-washed by either team if you met them now. Your playing is too slow. Learn to move fast. That is essential in basket ball. On a man's team, the moment a player begins to show a slowing down he is dropped. Quick work; that is the beauty of this game. Come here regularly for practice and I will help you."
It grew larger, and the side jets winked out. A few seconds later, fire spurted from the nose. Rip figured rapidly. The cruiser had gone far enough away to make a turn. It had straightened out, heading right for them. Now the nose tube was blasting, slowing the cruiser down. He sighted, holding out one glove, and gauging the Connie's distance above the horizon, and his heart speeded.
"Go into the cabin and change your wet clothes. Then you'll feel better." "Will you steer, Miss Elting?" Harriet asked the guardian. "We are slowing down too much. If we stop it will be difficult to get another start." The boat moved faster when Harriet took hold of the pushing pole.
Granet, with a shrug of the shoulders, stepped into the motor-car. The two soldiers mounted motor-cycles and the little cavalcade turned away. Granet made a few efforts at conversation with his companion, but, meeting with no response, soon relapsed into silence. In less than twenty minutes the car was slowing down before the approach to the Hall.
