"You're sure goin' to find it a heap more of it than you can ride herd on. That right, Pete?" The gray-eyed man nodded slightly. Mysterious Pete had the habit of taciturnity. His gaze slid in a searching, sidelong fashion from Webb to Prince, on to Wrayburn, across to Clanton, and back to the drover. No wolf in the encinal could have been warier. "Cut out the roan," ordered Webb.
The very heartiness of it robbed it of all rudeness. "Good lord! and I was worrying my head off. Webb, you're all right. Do you need any funds?" "I believe I have enough." Thomas appeared to be disturbed not in the least by the older man's hilarity. It was not infectious, because he did not understand it. "Glad you came to me. Always come to me when you're in doubt about anything.
Amy did not analyze her feelings or consciously assure herself of all this. She only felt that Webb was restful, and would give her a sense of safety, no matter what happened. Some days after Burt's adventure, Dr. Marvin made his professional call in the evening. Mr. Alvord, Squire Bartley, and the minister also happened in, and all were soon chatting around Mr. Clifford's ruddy hearth.
It was essential for the campaign that a successor should be sent at once, to form plans on the spot and make preparations accordingly. The Ministry were in no such haste. It was presently announced that Colonel Daniel Webb would be sent to America, followed by General James Abercromby; who was to be followed in turn by the Earl of Loudon, the destined commander-in-chief.
Webb?" she suddenly asked, groping for some clew to this lengthening labyrinthine visit. He rose and going to the piano raked heavily off of the top of it a glass jar and brought it over to her and resumed his seat with a speaking countenance.
It was indeed a tragedy, as you said, Webb a sadder one than these old military preparations can suggest. In all his career of war and treachery Arnold never inflicted a more cruel wound." "How much feeling Miss Hargrove showed!" Webb remarked, musingly. "Yes," said Amy, quietly, "she was evidently feeling deeply." Her thought was, "I don't believe she heard a word that Webb said."
On the 19th of February Brent went down to De Russy with the Queen, mechanics still working on repairs, and there called for volunteer crews from the garrison. These were furnished at once, sixty for the Webb under Lieutenant Handy, seventy for the Queen, on which boat Brent remained.
Within a week the battle of Oudenarde was fought, when, hate each other as they might, Esmond's general and the Commander-in-Chief were forced to admire each other, so splendid was the gallantry of each upon this day. The brigade commanded by Major-General Webb gave and received about as hard knocks as any that were delivered in that action, in which Mr.
Webb too was civil to his wife and the girls always lent them the Dublin pattern for their frills, frocks, and other frippery and seldom drove into Drumsna without calling. The consequence was, that the Counsellor was a man after Tony's own heart.
How, likewise, when Captain Webb, 17th Lancers, lay desperately and mortally wounded, Sergeant-major Berryman, 17th Lancers, found him, and refused to leave him, though urged to do so. How Quarter-master-sergeant Farrell and Sergeant Malone, 13th Light Dragoons, coming by, assisted to carry him out of the fire. Worthy of note is the conduct of Private Parkes, 4th Light Dragoons.
