Kelson inquired with characteristic cheeriness, ignoring the troubled expression on that worthy's face. "No, captain; and we can't imagine what has happened to Mr. Henshaw. There are three telegrams come for him, and I have just got one, reply-paid, to ask whether he is staying here." "And you replied?" "Went to Hunt Ball 9 last night. Not been here since," Dipper quoted.
"And and did you ask him?" she questioned. "Did I not!" said Sangster heartily. "I went up to him Jimmy stopped dead, I believe he thought I was going to pinch his watch and I said, 'Will you be a sport and lend me a bob? Not a bit romantic, you see!" Christine caught her breath. "And did he did he?" she asked eagerly. Sangster laughed reminiscently. "You'll never guess what he said.
"Is that the day's wish?" said the Sand-fairy, yawning. Cyril muttered something about "just like a girl," and the rest stood silent. If they said "Yes," then good-bye to the other wishes they had decided to ask for. If they said "No," it would be very rude, and they had all been taught manners, and had learned a little too, which is not at all the same thing.
Then an ointment-mixer, who had heard that I was your servant, made that godless Bubares ask me whether I could cure diseases of the eye too. I said yes, because you know in sixty years it's rather hard if one can't pick up something from one's master.

And, sir, how long do you think I shall be a workman, especially in Hillsborough, where from workman to master is no more than hopping across a gutter?" Mr. Carden smiled approval.

They stood and talked, then, as they were both going into the town, they turned and walked towards the Arden Gate. Puddifoot talked about his health; like many doctors he was very timid about himself and eager to reassure himself in public. "How are you, Canon? But I needn't ask looking splendid. I'm all right myself never felt better really.
"All right," interjected Frere, "you needn't quote 'em. 'The officer commanding is obliged to place himself in charge' all right, my dear sir. I've no objection in life."

"Here she is! Ask her yourself.
If there was anything a fellah could do, said the young man John, so called, a fellah'd like the chance o' helpin' a little cripple like that. He looks as if he couldn't turn over any handier than a turtle that's laid on his back; and I guess there a'n't many people that know how to lift better than I do. Ask him if he don't want any watchers. I don't mind settin' up any more 'n' a cat-owl.
