"Wonder if he's brought us to the right place?" he whispered, sniffing into the moldy darkness. "Dunno, sir. There're stairs to your left." They caught the sound of faint flute music on an upper floor, and as Kirby felt cautiously for his footing on the lower step Warrington began to whistle softly to himself.
"Did you hear them?" "I heard your father's slaves in my " "No," she interrupted excitedly. "Aeroplanes!" "Aeroplanes? Perhaps that was the sound that woke me." "There're at least a dozen. I saw one a few moments ago dead against the moon. The guard back by the cliff fired his rifle and that's what roused father. We're going to open on them right away." "Are they here on purpose?"
The bread was sour and moldy. There was nothing but poison around him. The cell stank of sulphur. He even accused persons of rubbing matches under his nose to infect him. All on a sudden he exclaimed: "Oh! the rats, there're the rats now!" There were black balls that were changing into rats. These filthy animals got fatter and fatter, then they jumped onto the mattress and disappeared.
"Go back with clean hands to Echo Allen. It is you she loves. There's my horse up yonder. Beyond, there're the pack-mule loaded with water and grub. Plenty of water. We'll just change places, that's all. You take them and go back to her and I'll stay here." Dick walked toward the spring, but, a spell of weakness came over him and he almost sank to the ground. Jack caught him and held him up.
"Showin' themselves for bait, plainlike?" Kirby asked. "If we have to. The alarm will have gone out. I'm bettin' there're patrols thick on that road." "Any blue bellies travelin' theah now are gonna be bunched an' ready to shoot at anything movin'." "So," Croff cut in over Webb's instant objection, "you get some Yankees a-hittin' it up after you, and you run for here.
"We're perfectly aware of our value, believe me, and we're just as fond of life as anyone else maybe more so, since we're at risk so often. But there're some things worth the risk a feeling you share, or you wouldn't be here." *Also true,* Corina conceded. *The Empire has given my people much; saving it for them, and others, is something I think well worth the risk I took.
Kirby's salute was delivered with less snap but as promptly. "Kirby, Private, Gano's." "Captain William Campbell," the officer identified himself crisply. "Any more of you?" He looked to Boyd and then at the cornfield beyond. "Barrett's a volunteer," Drew explained. This was no time to clarify Boyd's exact status. "There're just the three of us."
"Not much," answered Hurstwood. "I'd tackle him now," volunteered the youth. "He may go 'way." Hurstwood did so. "Isn't there some place I can stay around here to-night?" he inquired. "If I have to go back to New York, I'm afraid I won't." "There're some cots upstairs," interrupted the man, "if you want one of them." "That'll do," he assented.
When there're men it's more so. What is this?" She held her fork suspended for a moment. "It's awfully good, but very elusive. What do you suppose it is?" "A bunch of guesses wouldn't hit it. Clicot is providing the provender, I believe; I see his men here, and the ambition of Clicot's life is to create a new dish. I'm glad you like it. It's as near nothing as anything I ever ate.
There're some impulses in this world too noble to be interfered with or hampered or thwarted, and some sacrifices so fine that none of us should try to spoil 'em by settin' up ourselves and our own wills in the road. That's how I felt. That's how Lew Lake felt. That's how we both felt.
