Lally?" "So you're at your thricks again, Miss Terry! Sorra ever such a young lady was born in this mortial world before!" said Lally. "Now what will your gran'ma be sayin' to you this time, Miss Terry?" "Oh, Gran'ma! I hope she hasn't had her breakfast yet, Nursey. Just look at the lovely fresh eggs Mr. Reilly got me!"
Don dodged the question and demanded that Bobbie show him how he was progressing with his semaphore. Bobbie retreated to the fence and sent the message that was given him. "Was that right, Don?" he asked eagerly. "Right," said Don. He was on the point of sending the boy off with another message when the gate clicked. Tim Lally advanced as though he had important business on his mind.
"How do you know Phil Morris is moving?" "Mr. Wall told me that, too." "Then the Wolf patrol elects a new leader," said Ritter. He glanced out toward where Tim Lally was catching. Andy's eyes puckered, and a swift change came over Bobbie Brown's face. The practice ended. Tim came across the grass with a big mitt under his arm. Ritter and Wally went forward to meet him.
He had been telling himself for two days that there had been no hidden reason for Don taking him as a partner, but now that was all swept aside. Don had wanted him as the goat. If any mistakes were made he would be the one to be blamed just as he was being blamed. Wasn't he Tim Lally, the fellow who always spoiled things? Oh, what a woodenhead he had been not to see it all before!
The queen refused to reign under such conditions, or to be saved by such hands. The security for her was in power, not in limitations to power. The sacred thing was the ancient Crown, not the new Constitution. Lally Tollendal came over from England, conferred with Malouet and Clermont Tonnerre, and exhorted her to consent.
The patrol leaders carried the hat aside, counted the votes, and came back to Mr. Wall. "The result is " The Scoutmaster paused. "Scout Lally, three votes; Scout Strong, three votes; Assistant Patrol Leader Ford, one vote. As no candidate has received a majority, another ballot is necessary." Don wondered if he had heard the Scoutmaster correctly. Three votes for him?
Early in Spring last, poor Lally, a man of endless talent and courage, but of dreadfully emphatic loose tongue, in fact of a blazing ungoverned Irish turn of mind, had instantly, on sight of some small Succors from Pitt, to raise his siege of Madras, retire to Pondicherry; and, in fact, go plunging and tumbling downhill, he and his India with him, at an ever-faster rate, till they also had got to the Abyss.
"Well, and so you had!" said Tom Moonlight. "It wasn't that, Tom," said Jack sadly and wearily "It was the way she said it!" Lally Thompson rubbed his eyes: "And what did you do, Jack?" he asked gently. "I stayed for a year, and then I deserted her again but meant it that time." "Ah, well! It's time to turn in."
Fortunately there were no chimney-pots on that particular chimney It had a wide opening, and Turly got his head out at the top. "Oh!" said Terry, with her head in the grate, "I hope it won't get all wet, and flop!" "Rain's over!" shouted Turly. "I've got such a splendid view! Walsh and Lally and a whole pack of them are running down the avenue; going to look for us, I suppose. Hullo!
Lally shook his head and said there was much more in it than that; he could tell by the man's eye, and his uneasy way. "Master, dear, get out of this, for heaven's sake, as fast as ye can." "You are right; go and order the carriage round, as soon as the horses can be put to."
