Two days later two others and myself set out to recover that cucumber rind which had been discarded, the pinch about the waist-belt having become insistent. We found it, soiled and shrivelled, but we ate it ravenously. Major Bach may have wondered why the British civil prisoners did not reveal signs of semi-starvation so readily as those of other nationalities.
He has just saved your life again, and what he is doing now is to make sure you are not attacked again." I stood speechless, resting on the piece I held in my hand till the great negro came back with the knife stuck in his waist-belt, to stoop and pick up the gun he had dropped; and then he pointed again with the axe toward the forest beyond the garden. "Come," he said, quietly. "Find Pomp."
The eye of old Dessauer fell on something among them and was instantly fascinated. It was a woman's waist-belt of thick bars of gold laid three and three, with crests and letters all over it. The Chancellor put his hand forward for it, and my father allowed him to take it, following him, however, with a questioning eye.
He had kept on his strong waist-belt, wherein gleamed a two-edged axe, and with his great sword in both hands he had dashed impetuously through the breach. Like a pruner cutting willow-branches and trying to strike off as much as possible so as to make the more money, he marched along mowing down the Carthaginians around him.
The heat was so great when we started that we dispensed with coats, and even waistcoats, and went on rejoicing in the cool freedom of our shirt-sleeves. Each wore a broad leather waist-belt, stuck round with revolvers and bowie-knives. I believe we looked like a couple of the veriest brigands.
'O man, stand up an' let me get in at ye. But whin I saw he wud be runnin' about, I grup his shtock in my left an' his waist-belt in my right an' swung him clear to my right front, head undher, he hammerin' my nose till the wind was knocked out av him on the bare ground. 'Stand up, sez I, 'or I'll kick your head into your chest! and I wud ha' done ut too, so ragin' mad I was.
It was that he had been allowed to retain and stow in his waist-belt his little packet of pepper-cress seed a favour for which he thanked his persecutors with tears in his eyes. It happened that his galley was bound that afternoon on a cruise of a few miles along the coast and indeed was lifting anchor as he was hauled up the side.
A leopard-skin pouch hanging under his right arm, a hunting-knife stuck in his waist-belt, and a large meerschaum pipe through the band of his hat, completed the equipments of the trek-boor, Von Bloom. Hans and Hendrik were very similarly attired, armed, and equipped.
Ammunition was carried in a waist-belt, with a surrounding row of leather tubes lined with tin, each of which held a cartridge in fact, the Circassian cartouch-case.
Then they started, almost like lovers; for the drooping branches rustled and Tara stood before them a very vision of June; in her straight frock of Delphinium blue; one shell-pink rose in her hat and its counterpart in her waist-belt. Canvas shoes and tennis-racquet betrayed her fell design on Roy. "Am I despritly superfluous?" she queried, smiling from one to the other.
