7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | No, she wouldn't. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | She said that my enchantment had disabled those knights; they were not riding on, because they couldn't; wait, they would drop out of their saddles presently, and we would get their horses and harness. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I could not deceive such trusting simplicity, so I said it was a mistake; that when my fireworks killed at all, they killed instantly; no, the men would not die, there was something wrong about my apparatus, I couldn't tell what; but we must hurry and get away, for those people would attack us again, in a minute. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Sandy laughed, and said: "Lack-a-day, sir, they be not of that breed! |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Sir Launcelot will give battle to dragons, and will abide by them, and will assail them again, and yet again, and still again, until he do conquer and destroy them; and so likewise will Sir Pellinore and Sir Aglovale and Sir Carados, and mayhap others, but there be none else that will venture it, let the idle say what the idle will. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | And, la, as to yonder base rufflers, think ye they have not their fill, but yet desire more?" |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Well, then, what are they waiting for? |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Why don't they leave? |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Nobody's hindering. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Good land, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones, I'm sure." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Leave, is it? |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Oh, give thyself easement as to that. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | They dream not of it, no, not they. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | They wait to yield them." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Come--really, is that 'sooth'--as you people say? |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | If they want to, why don't they?" "It would like them much; but an ye wot how dragons are esteemed, ye would not hold them blamable. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | They fear to come." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Well, then, suppose I go to them instead, and--" "Ah, wit |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | ye |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | well they would not abide your coming. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I will go." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | And she did. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | She was a handy person to have along on a raid. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I would have considered this a doubtful errand, myself. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I presently saw the knights riding away, and Sandy coming back. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | That was a relief. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I judged she had somehow failed to get the first innings --I mean in the conversation; otherwise the interview wouldn't have been so short. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | But it turned out that she had managed the business well; in fact, admirably. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | She said that when she told those people I was The Boss, it hit them where they lived: "smote them sore with fear and dread" was her word; and then they were ready to put up with anything she might require. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | So she swore them to appear at Arthur's court within two days and yield them, with horse and harness, and be my knights henceforth, and subject to my command. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | How much better she managed that thing than I should have done it myself! |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | She was a daisy. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | CHAPTER XV SANDY'S TALE |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "And so I'm proprietor of some knights," said I, as we rode off. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Who would ever have supposed that I should live to list up assets of that sort. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I shan't know what to do with them; unless I raffle them off. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | How many of them are there, Sandy?" |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Seven, please you, sir, and their squires." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "It is a good haul. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Who are they? |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Where do they hang out?" |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Where do they hang out?" |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Yes, where do they live?" |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Ah, I understood thee not. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | That will I tell eftsoons." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Then she said musingly, and softly, turning the words daintily over her tongue: "Hang they out--hang they out--where hang--where do they hang out; eh, right so; where do they hang out. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Of a truth the phrase hath a fair and winsome grace, and is prettily worded withal. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I will repeat it anon and anon in mine idlesse, whereby I may peradventure learn it. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Where do they hang out. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Even so! |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | already it falleth trippingly from my tongue, and forasmuch as--" "Don't forget the cowboys, Sandy." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Cowboys?" "Yes; the knights, you know: You were going to tell me about them. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | A while back, you remember. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Figuratively speaking, game's called." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Game--" "Yes, yes, yes! |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Go to the bat. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I mean, get to work on your statistics, and don't burn so much kindling getting your fire started. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Tell me about the knights." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "I will well, and lightly will begin. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | So they two departed and rode into a great forest. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | And--" "Great Scott!" |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | You see, I recognized my mistake at once. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I had set her works a-going; it was my own fault; she would be thirty days getting down to those facts. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | And she generally began without a preface and finished without a result. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | If you interrupted her she would either go right along without noticing, or answer with a couple of words, and go back and say the sentence over again. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | So, interruptions only did harm; and yet I had to interrupt, and interrupt pretty frequently, too, in order to save my life; a person would die if he let her monotony drip on him right along all day. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Great Scott!" |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I said in my distress. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | She went right back and began over again: |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "So they two departed and rode into a great forest. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | And--" "_Which_ two?" "Sir Gawaine and Sir Uwaine. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | And so they came to an abbey of monks, and there were well lodged. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | So on the morn they heard their masses in the abbey, and so they rode forth till they came to a great forest; then was Sir Gawaine ware in a valley by a turret, of twelve fair damsels, and two knights armed on great horses, and the damsels went to and fro by a tree. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | And then was Sir Gawaine ware how there hung a white shield on that tree, and ever as the damsels came by it they spit upon it, and some threw mire upon the shield--" "Now, if I hadn't seen the like myself in this country, Sandy, I wouldn't believe it. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | But I've seen it, and I can just see those creatures now, parading before that shield and acting like that. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | The women here do certainly act like all possessed. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Yes, and I mean your best, too, society's very choicest brands. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | The humblest hello-girl along ten thousand miles of wire could teach gentleness, patience, modesty, manners, to the highest duchess in Arthur's land." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Hello-girl?" "Yes, but don't you ask me to explain; it's a new kind of a girl; they don't have them here; one often speaks sharply to them when they are not the least in fault, and he can't get over feeling sorry for it and ashamed of himself in thirteen hundred years, it's such shabby mean conduct and so unprovoked; the fact is, no gentleman ever does it--though I--well, I myself, if I've got to confess--" "Peradventure she--" "Never mind her; never mind her; I tell you I couldn't ever explain her so you would understand." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Even so be it, sith ye are so minded. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Then Sir Gawaine and Sir Uwaine went and saluted them, and asked them why they did that despite to the shield. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Sirs, said the damsels, we shall tell you. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | There is a knight in this country that owneth this white shield, and he is a passing good man of his hands, but he hateth all ladies and gentlewomen, and therefore we do all this despite to the shield. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | I will say you, said Sir Gawaine, it beseemeth evil a good knight to despise all ladies and gentlewomen, and peradventure though he hate you he hath some cause, and peradventure he loveth in some other places ladies and gentlewomen, and to be loved again, and he such a man of prowess as ye speak of--" "Man of prowess--yes, that is the man to please them, Sandy. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Man of brains--that is a thing they never think of. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Tom Sayers --John Heenan--John L. Sullivan--pity but you could be here. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | You would have your legs under the Round Table and a 'Sir' in front of your names within the twenty-four hours; and you could bring about a new distribution of the married princesses and duchesses of the Court in another twenty-four. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | The fact is, it is just a sort of polished-up court of Comanches, and there isn't a squaw in it who doesn't stand ready at the dropping of a hat to desert to the buck with the biggest string of scalps at his belt." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "--and he be such a man of prowess as ye speak of, said Sir Gawaine. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Now, what is his name? |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | Sir, said they, his name is Marhaus the king's son of Ireland." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "Son of the king of Ireland, you mean; the other form doesn't mean anything. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | And look out and hold on tight, now, we must jump this gully.... |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | There, we are all right now. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | This horse belongs in the circus; he is born before his time." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "I know him well, said Sir Uwaine, he is a passing good knight as any is on live." |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | "_ |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | On live_. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | If you've got a fault in the world, Sandy, it is that you are a shade too archaic. |
7,244 | A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3. | But it isn't any matter." |
