I'm glad to see you. The sight o' your 'andsome phiz allys does me good." "I wish I could return the compliment, Terry. But your cracked skull is by no means a pleasing spectacle. How came you by the hurt, eh?" "How did I come by it? that's a nate question. Why, honestly enouch. It was lent me by a countryman o' mine; but I paid him back in his own coin ha! ha!" "A countryman of yours, Terry?"
Or do you really care to win?" "To win, please, O oracle, if it's all the same to you," Hilary said, supplication in his voice, although his eyes danced. Allys gave him a long look. "Then you must take Heathflower," she said. "I have the Wickliffe boy's word for it he wrote me only yesterday: 'Miss Allys, if you want to get wealthy, bet all your real money on that Heathflower thing." "H'm!
Until Allys came on the scene it had seemed the pursuit must be successful. They had gone abroad on the same steamer the year before, dawdled through a London season, and come home simultaneously he rather bored and languid, she of a demure and downcast, but withal possessive, air.
By MARTHA MCCULLOCH-WILLIAMS Miss Allys Rhett stood upon the clubhouse lawn, a vision in filmy white, smiling her softest, most enchanting smile. There was a reason for the smile a reason strictly feminine, yet doubly masculine.
And the Heathflower thing was a splendid traveler, coming out of her padded stall as ready to run as when she went into it. She had got to the Bay Park only two days back, in charge of her rubber, Amos, and Black Tim, her jockey. Tim stood at her head, Amos was giving her lank sides their last polish, as Allys and her train swept down upon them.
Seventeen had been out when Allys and her squires stopped under the shade of a tree. Notwithstanding the shadow, she put up her white parasol, tilting it at just the angle to make it throw her head and shoulders in high relief. Adair glanced at her, caught a hard breath, nipped it, then looked steadily down the course a minute.
Iroquois went back to her through his sire, Bonnie Scotland-Iroquois, who wasn't really a great horse, but a good one that happened on a great chance." "Why, Allys darling, I can hardly believe my ears! Here you are talking horse like a veteran, when I always thought you didn't know a fetlock from a wishbone," the Hammond girl cooed, swimming up behind them on old Van Ammerer's arm.
Hilary said, in a hoarse whisper, his eyes murderous. Billy held him fast. "Not until you give me a gentleman's word you won't interfere," he said. Allys looked at him amazed, enchanted. Here was no boy to be played with, petted and coaxed from his beliefs rather a man standing for what he held the right with the fire and strength of youth.
But from all as we hear I guess they's no dice game going on up on some of the other sections but they's another kind of a game going on up there and so far the Dutchmens has got all the best of it but some of the boys says wait till the Allys gets ready to strike back and they will make them look like a sucker and the best way to do is wait till the other side has wore themself out before you go back at them.
I'm not quite sure which I'd like best a winter in Paris or a pearl necklace and I know I shan't ever get them at bridge I have no luck at all." "Give you millions against just one word," Hilary whispered; then aloud: "Is it a bet?" "Say yes, Miss Allys," Billy entreated. "You ain't trustin' to my judgment remember that but to the blood of Blink Bonny."
