She did not speak, though he waited for her to say something. The cow ambled up the "loanie," and Sheila, glancing at him as if she did not recognise him, passed on, following it. "Sheila!" he called after her, but she did not answer, nor did she turn round. "I want to speak to you," he said, going after her. "I don't want to speak to you," she replied, without looking at him.
Purposely he avoided the road that led in front of the long line of officers' quarters and chose instead the water-wagon track along the rear. People among the laundresses' quarters, south of the mesa on which stood the quadrangular inclosure of Camp Sandy, eyed him curiously as he ambled through on his borrowed pony; but he looked neither to right nor left and hurried on in obvious discomposure.
Not only did he attend one service, but all of them, having been assured that the royal family worshipped there quite as regularly and as religiously as the lowliest communicant. She did not appear. More than all this, he met with fresh disappointment when he ambled down to the armourer's shop. The doors were locked and there was no sign of life about the shuttered place.
From the top of the street a flock of geese in charge of a diminutive maiden of ten was slowly waddling down toward the stream, shaking their grey and white feathers under the hot kiss of the sun, and behind them, in slow majesty, a herd of cows and oxen snow-white, with graceful, tall horns, lyre-shaped and slender ambled lazily along.
McTurk ambled round the corner, with a roving eye on all possible horizons. "Bearin' up, old man? That's right. Live it down! Live it down!" "What d'you mean?" "You look a little pensive," said McTurk. "Exhaustin' job superintendin' the honor of the house, ain't it? By the way, how are you off for mares'-nests?" "Look here," said Harrison, hoping for instant reward.
Tresler asked the question, but he knew that Joe was referring to Diane; Diane's welfare was his other interest in life. The little man turned with a start "Eh? Miss Dianny o' course." "And the weeds?" "Jake an' her father." And the two men became silent, while their horses ambled leisurely on toward home. It was Tresler who broke the silence at last.
Even if she desired to go out of bounds, she would not invade any public way, hatless, and in clinging white crêpe. The cows were excellent chaperones. Nevertheless he snapped his fingers and Pete came out from behind the office. Carder did not speak, but pointed after the white figure, and Pete, again dragging the mower, ambled across the driveway and followed on down the slope.
The grey mare ambled placidly on up the main Ypres road undisturbed by his philosophy. The dead of her kind were already forgotten, and the nose-bag on the saddle would be all the better for emptying. On each side of the road were gun positions, and Vane kept a sharp look out as he trotted on.
The Spanish carpenter had a sporting hen, which had some lively scraps with the dogs, the latter always coming off second best. For many days after we parted company with the Wolf we ambled and dawdled through the sea on a south-westerly course, sometimes going back on our tracks for half a day, sometimes stopping altogether for an hour or two, sometimes for half a day, sometimes for a whole day.
"But that's why we called you in!" exclaimed the Countess. "Can't you fix things securely?" "Oh, we'll fix things, lady," replied the plumber, condescendingly, and he ambled away to rub his thumb up and down a pipe.
