Bill took charge of two of the children; Mrs Aspinall carried the youngest. "Go ahead, Chinny," said Bill.
"I came to say that if you'd apologize to Aspinall things might straighten." "Might straighten! Oh, thanks!" he said, his face looking beastly venomous. "I think you'd better go, really." So we went, and I could not but feel that Bourne was right when he said on parting, "Our friend will make himself superbly disagreeable over this, take my word for it!
He was, I considered, heavier than Aspinall, and much taller, so I was both rather waxy and astonished to find that he was infusing a little too much vigour into his tackling, and, not to put too fine a point on it, was playing a trifle roughly. Aspinall was bundled over the touch-line a good half-dozen times, with no little animus behind the charge, and ultimately Bourne noticed it.
After landing, a show of force was needed to pull the fugitives up but once they did pull up they were splendid, and volunteered to a man to follow Aspinall back into the firing line. Many of them were wounded and the worst of these were put into a picket boat which had just that moment come along. One of the men seemed pretty bad, being hit in the head and in the body.
Acton stuck to him like a leech, but the winger tipped the ball to his partner, and as Acton moved to intercept the inside, the latter quickly and wisely poked the ball back again to Aspinall. He was off again in his own inimitable style, and I saw him smile as he re-started his run.
They were of different makes and sizes, but there seemed an undefined similarity between them. "This is my push, Mrs Aspinall," said Bill; "at least," he added apologetically, "it's part of 'em. Here, you chaps, this is Mrs Aspinall, what I told you about."
And then it dawned upon me that Acton was making a bid for the captaincy himself, and when I had convinced myself that this was his object, I felt angrier than I can remember. I thereupon wrote to Aspinall, gave him a full, true, and particular account of Acton's campaign against Phil, and asked him to release me and Phil from our promise of secrecy regarding the football-match accident.
Then Mr. Aspinall rose and said: "I appear for the defendant, your Honour, but from press of other engagements I have been unable to give that attention to the legal aspects of this case which its importance demands, and I have to request that your Honour will be good enough to adjourn the court for a quarter of an hour." The court was adjourned for half an hour, and Mr.
I mentally promised that Acton should have a little of my opinion on the matter on the first opportunity. I arranged to see Bourne that evening, when we should have heard the doctor's report on Aspinall. In the evening Bourne strolled into my room, looking a little less gloomy than I expected.
I'll never have anything else but worry and trouble and misery so long as I live." "Do you live in Jones's Alley yet?" "Yes." "Not bin there ever since, have you?" "No; I shifted away once, but I went back again. I was away nearly two years." "I thought so, because I called to see you there once. Well, I'm goin' that way now. You goin' home, Mrs Aspinall?" "Yes."
