The whole thing passed off well, the only mishap, throughout the day, arising from Horner having filled Miss Spight's galoshes with hot tea; but, as she did not happen to be wearing them at the time, the accident was not of much consequence, although she soundly rated the young gentleman for his awkwardness.
"I'm afraid Mr. Barrett has to say it," broke in Warren Smith. "We're up here to see this fellow before he dies, to try and get him to tell what disposal they made of the " "Ah!" Meredith shivered. "I believe I'd rather he said the other than to hear you say that." Mr. Horner felt the need of defending a fellow-townsman, and came to the rescue, flushing painfully.
I believe there were about twenty- six ewes and an old Spanish ram; and, as far as I can recollect, I was to give him thirty shillings each for them, which was a fair price, as times went, they being only small two-teeth ewes. The requisition being signed by upwards of four hundred freeholders, I wrote to the Sheriff, Mr. Horner, of Wells, to know when I should wait upon him with it.
Horner returned to his own school-room and Miss Newman called one of the girls to clean off the board. Nothing further was said of the matter, and Miss Newman went on as if it had never happened; but one day the last of the week, the girls were asked to illustrate in pencil drawings a story from their history lesson. "Oh, Miss Newman, I couldn't possibly do it," exclaimed Dorothy.
"Do you happen to know anything about wireless?" inquired Richard one day when, with Achilles prancing far ahead and Boy Blue, Jack Horner, and Rags dashing to keep up with him, the group strode along the beach. "I ought to," was Walter's smiling response. "I've a brother who is an operator at the Seaver Bay station." "No! Really?" The exclamations voiced both surprise and admiration.
It was finally found in Jack Horner's pie, which was a big one made of a shoe box. And Johnnie, as Jack Horner, pulled out the horn instead of a plum. His sore thumb did not bother him much. "Well, did you like the play?" the teacher asked the other children, who had only looked on. "It was fine!" they all said. "We'd like to see it again." "Well, perhaps you may," returned Miss Earle.
In addition to Horner and Mawley, there was also an odious cousin of hers, called "Jack," or "Tom," or "Ned," or some other abominably familiar abbreviation, who hung over the piano stool, and said "Min, do this," and "Min, do that," in a way that drove me to frenzy. I hate cousins! I don't see the necessity for them. I'm sure people can get along very well without their existence.
He must have used more strength this time, however, for Scraps sailed far over the top of the fence and, without being able to grab the Scarecrow at all, tumbled to the ground in the Horner Country, where her stuffed body knocked over two men and a woman and made a crowd that had collected there run like rabbits to get away from her.
As personality in the abstract fascinates a philosopher by its mystery, so a personality of uncommon purity, intensity, and completeness fascinates all men, and thus, perhaps, is explained the high estimation in which Horner was held. He was regarded by those who knew him, as Pythagoras was by his disciples, with the deference commanded by a superior person.
She says her colour is light it's a light colour and you can see through it." "Amber?" he said, and was startled, for Mrs. Horner, with her eyes still closed, clapped her hands, and the voice cried out in delight: "Yes! She says you know who she is from amber. Amber! Amber! That's it! She says you understand what her name is from a bell and from amber.
