Over the entrance to this office of Mr. Perkins's hung a huge board on which were boldly painted in red letters on a white ground the name of George Perkins, and the impressive words 'Dursley's Omnigerentual and Omniferacious Agent. It really was a remarkable notice-board, and residents invariably pointed it out to visitors as one of the sights of the town.
Yes, there could be no doubt that it was the site. His eye roved round and he admitted the justice of the boast that an electric sign displayed at the southern front corner of the theatre would be visible from Piccadilly Circus, Lower Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, etc., etc. He then observed a large notice-board, raised on posts above the hoardings, and read the following: SITE
The team to play in any match was always put upon the notice-board at the foot of the stairs in the senior block a day before the date of the fixture. Both first and second fifteens had matches on the Thursday of this week. The second were playing a team brought down by an old Wrykinian. The first had a scratch game.
"Oh no," answered Jack, laughing: "it began about that lot of verses that was pinned upon the notice-board this morning. Grundy said Thurston was turned out of the team, and I said he wasn't." The captain smiled thoughtfully, and going down on one knee examined the wounded cheek. "Put some cold water to it," he said, and then walked away.
Gordon while he rigidly inspected the imposition. As he took his seat, Montagu, who was next him, whispered "I say, have you seen the notice-board?" "No. Why?" "Why, some fellow has been writing up an opinion of Gordon not very favorable." "And serve him right, too, brute!" said Eric, smarting with the memory of his imposition. "Well, there'll be no end of a row; you'll see."
"What are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away. "My own garden is my own garden," said the Giant; "any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself." So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board. He was a very selfish Giant. The poor children had now nowhere to play.
A notice-board requested us to walk around the silent square on the outside pavement and not across it. The German sausage balloon had not been up for days; it had probably gone off to the Somme; the Somme was a terrible vortex just then which was sucking away the resources of the whole German line; but still discipline is discipline.
Then he, too, pressed forward to the notice-board, and read the awards, thus: 1st...No. 247. 2nd...No. 248. 3rd...No. 261. V.H.C...No. 256. H.C...No. 259. Not daring to be quite certain, the Master drew out the little medal from beside Finn's collar, and read again on it Finn's number: 247.
Accordingly, there appeared an ominous notice-board with the words, "For members only," at a particular point in the Terrace.
Heimert gazed at it all with no thought for the beauty of the May night. He was glad that the moon shone so brightly, as he would be able to see his man with ease in such a light. He fetched his revolver, and returning to the window looked across at the notice-board opposite, which threatened trespassers in the barracks or parade-ground with "a fine of sixty marks or five days' imprisonment."
