"Howwid waw morning," groaned Braintree. "I'd warthah oh, vewy well, I'll get up." And with a great effort he struggled out of bed and began to array himself. Bowler had a similar task with each of the other adventurers, and any leader less sanguine or eager might have felt his ardour damped by the evident want of alacrity on the part of his confederates to respond to the call to action.
"What a howwid thmell of whithkey!" lisped Cornet Fitch, of the Dragoons, to Miss Lucy, confidentially. "And the the are what they call Whigth, are they? He! he!" "They are drunk, me, drunk, by !" said the General to the Mayor. "Is it that tipsy man in the green coat, or that vulgar creature in the blue one?" "Law, my Lady," said the Mayoress, "have you forgotten him?
"It's a howwid failure! The woom looks so stiff and stwaight like a pink box with nothing in it! Mother won't like it a bit. What can we do to make it better?" Peggy scowled, pursed up her lips, pressed her hand to her forehead, and strode up and down the room, rolling her eyes from side to side, and going through all the grimaces of one in search of inspiration.
"What is the matter?" demanded his companion, with some tartness. She did not like mysteries. "I I heard a dog bark," stammered Purt. "Well! what if you did?" "But on this this island. Who who could have brought the howwid cweature here?" "Not that dog, Purt!" gasped Lil, suddenly remembering. There was a hail from the crew of the Duchess. Again the sharp bark of a dog sounded.
It was said that he could fight when no other alternative was open to him but the bustle and confusion, and, above all, the exertion, he considered such "a howwid boah," that he always most carefully avoided those occasions for distinguishing himself, which other men are wont to seek with avidity. Why on earth he ever entered the navy was a puzzle which utterly defied solution.
It's all about those howwid Wajahs. I didn't understand it." Wressley of the Foreign Office was broken, smashed, I am not exaggerating by this one frivolous little girl. All that he could say feebly was "But but it's my magnum opus! The work of my life." Miss Venner did not know what magnum opus meant; but she knew that Captain Kerrington had won three races at the last Gymkhana.
Lucy broke a daffodil stalk viciously. "Go and talk to the others," she said. "I haven't time for you." The tears were hot in his eyes and anger was in his heart anger bred of the rain, of the noise, of the confusion. "You are howwid," he said slowly. "Well, go away, then, if I'm horrid," she pushed with her hand at his knee. "I didn't ask you to come here."
Bowler was the first up, and went round to wake the rest. "Howwid gwind," said Braintree, sitting up for a moment in bed and rubbing his eyes, and then subsiding again under the clothes. "Needn't get up yet, Bowler, it's long before cockcrow." "It's just on six o'clock, I tell you, and it'll spoil it all if we don't get away by a quarter past. Do get up, there's a good fellow."
It was a place in the wood wiv grass to sit on and bushes all round, and they gave me dead flowers to play wiv. Howwid old dead flowers!" "Yes," said Mother. "What else?" "There was anuvver little girl there," went on Joan. "Not a wood-lady but a girl like me, what they'd tooked from somewhere. She was wearing a greeny sort of dress like they was, and they wanted me to put one on too.
OI, OI, OI! Thuch a big girl! Travelling alone, without mamma? Bought a ticket all by herthelf and travelth alone! AI! What a howwid girl! And where ith the girl'th mamma?" At this moment a tall, handsome, self-assured woman appeared from the COUPE and said calmly: "Get away from the child. What a despicable thing to annoy strange children!"
