The other papers said it was a shame, hounding a man who was sorry for the past and who was trying to make good now; so they dropped it. Everybody thought that Waring was on the level now. He's been shooting off a lot of hot air lately about philanthropy and so on.
Why can't he go on about his business instead of hounding us all the time, I'd like to know," indignantly stormed Frank. "He's about the poorest specimen of humanity I know." "He thinks he's well within his rights," argued Jack. "I don't like him, but I must admire his 'stick-to-itiveness." "Whatever that is," put in Tom.
Why had it sat there, so determined to have its evening's fun out, cruelly hounding and torturing a creature who, from her very temperament, must have found the punishment a hellish one? Why, if people had really been shocked, had they not quietly left the theatre? That surely would have been sufficient indication of their disapproval. "I am not beaten yet!" cried Cleo, with frenzy.
The boy could see the old foretop-man in the darkened passage. A hatchet was in his mouth; he was handling the door with one hand, and his chair with the other. So easy for a whole man to open the door, so hard for the disabled seaman! The Grenadier, hounding with huge strides, was already almost there. "Man on your left, Piper!" the boy screamed. "All right, sir!" mumbled the old seaman.
I dinna wish the young gentleman ill, he said, 'but I hope that they that hae got him will keep him, and no let him back to this Hieland border to plague us wi' black-mail and a' manner o' violent, wrongous, and masterfu' oppression and spoliation, both by himself and others of his causing, sending, and hounding out; and he couldna tak care o' the siller when he had gotten it neither, but flung it a' into yon idle quean's lap at Edinburgh; but light come light gane.
That is all. Why, my dear fellow," continued the doctor with rising enthusiasm, "when that girl came to us we were in despair; and for three months she kept us there, pursuing us, hounding us with questions. Never saw anything like it. One telling was enough though. Her eyes were everywhere, her ears open to every hint, but it was her soul, like a bird imprisoned and beating for the open air.
"Nothing; but I want to do something right away. They have been hounding me all over the kingdom. What have I done? Nothing, absolutely nothing. It makes me hot under the collar. These German blockheads! Do they think to find the Princess Hildegarde by following me around? I'd give as much as they to find her." "So you haven't seen anything of her?" "Not a sign.
"Right, Father! when they found us flown, doubtless the cruel ones dispersed. But they may search yet for thee. Lean on me, I am strong and young. Another effort, and we gain the safe coverts of the Chase." While yet the last word hung on her lips, they saw, on the path they had left, the burst of torch-light, and heard the mob hounding on their track.
Here he was brought to an abrupt halt by nearby voices, and he could not possibly avoid hearing some of the conversation. The voices were those of Mrs. Goring and Leyden, and anger was the keynote of the discussion. "I tell you, Juliana, I won't stand this hounding!" Leyden was saying. "Remember you are not in Batavia now; and if you drive me to extremes, this jungle can hide a secret."
The wind dashed gusts of rain against the casement and shook it savagely. He thought of the storm and blackness without how the tempest must be hounding the black waves the wolfish ferocity of their onward rushes the dread battle any mortal would fight who found himself among them on a night like this. Is Chamilly safe at home again? Of course, at this hour. What an unusual fellow.
