There was hardly any one among the thirty members of the Hartfield Parish Choir, who drove in two big wagonettes to the station, that did not look prepared to enjoy the day's outing to the utmost. "Christopher don't look best pleased, though," thought Walter, as they drove along, glancing at his friend's gloomy face. "And there's Miss Richardson getting out the rosettes.
Welton's lands are in Granite County?" "Yes," said Bob. "Well," said Oldham vaguely, "I hope you have enjoyed your little outing." He turned away. "Now, how the deuce should anybody know about me, or that I am with Welton, or take the trouble to write about it?" He mulled over this for some time.
And to see soldiers walking around, wearing the dear old uniform, just as we used to see them, makes one feel as though old days had returned. The two colored men chef and butler rather destroy the technique of a military camp, but they seem to be necessary adjuncts; and besides, we are not striving for harmony and effect, but for a fine outing, each day to be complete with its own pleasures.
I'll cut some sandwiches, and then I'll go and get ready," she said. Janet was in the hall when Betty came down. "That's right," she said heartily, "I'm glad you're going to have a real outing at last!" She took the girl in her arms and kissed her, and Betty felt touched. Her step-mother was not given to affectionate demonstration.
"This outing was all your idea," Val reminded her. "And we'd better be getting back before Rupert calls out the Marines or the State Troopers or something to track us down." Ricky pouted. "Not going until I'm ready. And you can't drag me if I dig my heels in." "I have no desire to be embroiled in such an undignified struggle as you suggest," he told her loftily.
About the third session and I'm back on the Concord Place. THERE I am all right. No, I don't propose to stay lost long. My father and grandfather and all my men folks spent their lives cruisin' through crooked passages and crowded shoals and I guess I've inherited some of the knack." At last I was strong enough to take a short outing in Hephzy's company.
Kamiska started up at once, cocking alternate ears, then turned about and ran up the hill to meet Ward Bennett, who came scrambling down, jumping from one granite outcrop to another, holding on the whiles by the lower branches of the scrub oak-trees. He was dressed as if for an outing, in knickerbockers and huge, hob-nailed shoes.
Thence he and I to my Lord Sandwich, who continues troubled with his cold. Our discourse most upon the outing of Sir R. Bernard, and my Lord's being made Recorder of Huntingdon in his stead, which he seems well contented with, saying, that it may be for his convenience to have the chief officer of the town dependent upon him, which is very true.
Funny kin' babies dat, eat-um bullfrog; don' chu tink so?" Of all his names and there were many more that I picked up from watching him in a summer's outing "Old Father Longlegs" seemed always the most appropriate. There is a suggestion of hoary antiquity about this solemn wader of our lakes and streams.
There came other meetings when he reached the main avenue; first Gaston and Lucie, already tired of play, and dragging about their puny limbs under the careless supervision of Celeste, who was busy laughing with a grocer's man; while farther off La Catiche, superb and royal, decked out like the idol of venal motherhood, was giving little Andree an outing, with her long purple ribbons streaming victoriously in the sunshine.
