The broad fields, crimsoning with anemones, purpling with hyacinth and auricula; the fresh green of the fig trees, the lovely tendrils of the newly shooting vines even the sight of the oxen with their patient eyes, and the homely, feathered creatures of the farmyard, clucking and strutting at the sandalled feet of the black-robed, silent, lay-brothers who brought them food all these things acted like an anodyne upon Brian's stricken heart.
The whole scene is now before me, as vividly as if it occurred yesterday the gorgeous viper, my poor dear frantic brother, my agitated parent, and a frightened hen clucking under the bushes and yet I was not three years old.
We wouldn't want to know anything we wouldn't let it make any difference. It'll only make us both love you and Mother all the more." Jolyon put his hand into his breast pocket, but brought it out again empty, and sat, clucking his tongue against his teeth. "Think what your mother's been to you, Jon! She has nothing but you; I shan't last much longer." "Why not? It isn't fair to Why not?"
I tried them on for him and asked him to tell me, as man to man, whether anything could be done to make those garments habitable. He called his cutter into consultation and they went over me carefully, meantime uttering those commiserating clucking sounds one tailor always utters when examining another tailor's handiwork.
Warriors, stealthy and cruel, lurked behind every rustling laurel; far away on the lawn he saw their spears through the tall pampas grass; he heard them chirping, clucking, and grunting in every direction as they lay in wait for him, until at last he gained the broad gravel path, at the end of which oh, how far away they seemed! were the three lighted windows of the drawing-room.
They all three went inside; and each of them drank a big glass of gin. The policemen whispered something together; the elder wiped the drink from his moustache and then said, very severely: "And now, clear out; hurry up! And mind your manners, will you, next time!" He was outside once more, loafing on, along the houses. Mother stood like a clucking hen among her red-cheeked youngsters.
They had disappeared under my very eyes; of a surety they must be at Martha's, but my conscience smote me when, on glancing at the clock, I saw that it was two hours since they left the breakfast table in their brand-new sailor suits, with the intention of showing them to her. No, they were not at Martha's, and she came hurrying back with me, a very clucking hen of alarm.
"You're like an old hen clucking round. Very well, make me a whisky, if you will, and give me one of those superlative sandwiches." Judson waited on him contentedly. "Anything more to-night, sir? Shall I close the window?" with a gesture towards the wide-open window near which his master sat.
Sir Charles Bassett now belonged to the tribe of clucking cocks quite as much as his cousin had ever done; only Sir Charles had the good taste to confine his clucks to his own first-floor. Here, to be sure, he richly indemnified himself for his self-denial abroad. He sat for hours at a time watching the boy on the ground at his knee, or in his nurse's arms.
