'Rouge gagne, impair, et manque! He had not seen him again. "Come in to the Frying-pan and have tea," said Jolly, and they went in. A stranger, seeing them together, would have noticed an unseizable resemblance between these second cousins of the third generations of Forsytes; the same bone formation in face, though Jolly's eyes were darker grey, his hair lighter and more wavy.
Manson waited to exhibit the great King Polo, and his broad-backed Shorthorn harem, and the Shorthorn harems of bulls that were only little less than King Polo in magnificence and record; and Parkman, the Jersey manager, was on hand, with staffed assistants, to parade Sensational Drake, Golden Jolly, Fontaine Royal, Oxford Master, and Karnak's Fairy Boy blue ribbon bulls, all, and founders and scions of noble houses of butter-fat renown, and Rosaire Queen, Standby's Dam, Golden Jolly's Lass, Olga's Pride, and Gertie of Maitlands equally blue-ribboned and blue-blooded Jersey matrons in the royal realm of butter-fat; and Mr.
This is rather a good beast," he added, scrutinising Jolly's horse, a dark brown, which was showing the whites of its eyes. "You haven't got any hunting here, I suppose?" "No; I don't know that I want to hunt. It must be awfully exciting, of course; but it's cruel, isn't it? June says so." "Cruel?" ejaculated Val. "Oh! that's all rot. Who's June?"
"B.N.C.," replied Val. "Jolly's at the 'House, but he'll be delighted to look you up." "Thanks awfully." "Holly's in if you could put up with a female relation, she'd show you round. You'll find her in the hall if you go through the curtains. I was just painting her." With another "Thanks, awfully!" Val vanished, leaving the two cousins with the ice unbroken.
The river was bright that afternoon, the meadows lush, the trees still beautiful with colour. Distinguished peace clung around the old city; Jolyon promised himself a day's sketching if the weather held. The Eight passed a second time, spurting home along the Barges Jolly's face was very set, so as not to show that he was blown. They returned across the river and waited for him.
"'Mother won't like it? Don't talk to me; mother's don't generally scratch people's eyes out for being kind to their little ones. I'll take care of that, little puss. Uncle Jolly's going home with you. 'How do I know whether you have got any dinner or not? I've got a dinner you shall have a dinner, too. Pity if I can't have my own way New Year's day, too.

"I am not a kid," said Val. "You are you're not twenty." "Well, what are you?" "I am twenty," said Jolly. "Only just; anyway, I'm as good a man as you." Jolly's face crimsoned, then clouded.
If it hadn't been for that, I mean, for Mr. Jolly's coming I couldn't have gone to Montepoole to-day." "Then I am very glad Mr. Jolly made his appearance," said Mr. Carleton. "So am I," said Fleda; "but I think it was a little strange that Mr. Jolly wouldn't tell us who it was that he had got the money from. Grandpa said he never saw Mr. Jolly so curious."
Even here all might have gone well with him, since there was no member of that body with seacraft to penetrate his imposture. But as ill-chance would have it, one of the members sitting that day was the black-mustached sans-culotte Jolly, the very man who had dragged Leroy out of his cell last night and tied him up. At sight of him Jolly's eyes bulged in his head.
Next morning, finding it impossible to work, he spent hours riding Jolly's horse in search of fatigue. And on the second day he made up his mind to move to London and see if he could not get permission to follow his daughters to South Africa.
