I think Flurry's little speech put a kind thought into Miss Ruth's head, for when she next invited us to drive with her, the gray horses stopped for an instant at Uncle Geoffrey's door, and the footman lifted Dot in his little fur-lined coat, and placed him at Miss Ruth's side.
The French drove out the Indians, the English conquered the French, and they went away many of them. And you have driven out the English. Where will the next people come from?" "The next people?" in surprise. "The people to drive you out." She laughed softly. "We will not be driven out." "Are you as strong as that?"
The wind blows directly in her favor; and if we can once bring her down behind that headland, we shall infallibly cut off or sink these midnight depredators." "Off, then!" cried the cornet, whose young blood was boiling for a skirmish; "you will at least drive them to the shore, where I can deal with them."
Lord Monmouth sometimes summed up with an epigrammatic sentence, and turned the conversation by a question, in case it dwelt too much on the same topic. Lord Eskdale addressed himself principally to the ladies; inquired after their morning drive and doings, spoke of new fashions, and quoted a letter from Paris.
"Putting all things together, lads," said he, "I believe these Redskin varmints whom we have been hearing of for some days past will really at last make an attempt to rob the farm; but I know that you will fight to the last, and we shall manage to drive them off. There is no reason why we should not feel confident of success.
Uneducated people who go abroad for the first time are so surprised as to be incredulous when they find their native language not understood. And this kind of association is not confined to men; in animals also it is very strong. A horse which has been often driven along a certain road resists the attempt to drive him in a different direction.
"Come, come!" said the farmer, "too loud talkin'!" "Then you uphold this girl in her undutiful behavior, do you?" asked Mrs. Kinloch. "You are amenable to the statutes, Sir," said the Squire. Mr. Alford rose to his feet. "Now you might jest as well get inter yer kerridge an' drive back ter town," said he; "you won't make one o' them hairs o' yourn black or white, Square, not by talkin' all day."
The French, whose operations were hidden by the gardens, at once proceeded to drive a gallery in order to blow up the counterscarp, upon which their guns could not be brought to bear, and on the 29th the mine was sprung. It did some damage, but it had not been driven quite far enough. Led by an officer of the staff named Mailly, the French rushed forward as soon as the mine exploded.
"She leaves this house of her free will, Elsie the only condition I have made is that she takes her name far out of our lives. Have you known have you suspected this woman, Elsie?" "No, no! I don't know anything but what is good of her I don't believe anything! She is good and kind send for her! You shan't drive her away she shall come to me now! My dear Elizabeth I love her!
"My father came to my room last night," she said, at last, "in order to speak to me about it. 'Enid, he said, 'don't marry that man! He's a good enough fellow but he'll drive a wedge into our life. We can't find a use for him you and I. He'll divide us, my girl and it isn't worth it you don't love him! And we had a long talk and at last I told him I wouldn't I wouldn't!
