He had secured the attendance of Simson and Maple of the Shell, and of Bateson and Jukes of the Babies, and, with a view to ingratiate himself with some of his neighbours on the first floor, he had bidden to the banquet Wake, Ranger, Wignet, and Sherriff of the Fifth, and actually prevailed upon Stafford to lend the dignity of a Sixth-form patronage to the reunion.
But before they reached the landing the sound ceased. The two men listened in vain. "You goa an' tell her as I'm sorry I knocked her aboot," said Bateson, eagerly. "An' she can see for hersen as I can't aggravate her no more wi' the other woman." He raised himself on his elbow, staring into the Rector's face. "I'm done for tell her that."
Hankey; "and I've lived long enough to be surprised at nothing where wills are concerned." "That is quite true," replied Mrs. Bateson. "Now take Miss Anne, for instance: she seemed so set on Miss Elisabeth that you'd have thought she'd have left her a trifle; but not she! All she had went to her sister, Miss Maria, who'd got quite enough already.
"I wish I could say as much; I do, indeed. But the Lord saw fit to try me by making my son Peter the very moral of his father; as like as two peas they are. And when you find one poor woman with such a double portion, you are tempted to doubt the workings of Providence." Mrs. Bateson looked sympathetic. "That's bad for you, Mrs. Hankey!" "It is so; but I take up my cross and don't complain.
I haven't seen him since. He and the village have been at loggerheads about the Institute, I believe. He wanted to turn out the Dissenters. Bateson came to me, and we circumvented him, of course. But the man's an ass. Don't talk of him! Robert sighed a long sigh. Was all his work undone? It wrung his heart to remember the opening of the Institute, the ardor of his boys.
He had once represented his county in Parliament, and when he ceased to do so he still felt an ambition to be connected in some peculiar way with that county's greatness; he still desired that Gresham of Greshamsbury should be something more in East Barsetshire than Jackson of the Grange, or Baker of Mill Hill, or Bateson of Annesgrove.
Of course I'm pleased for her to have a home of her own, and such nice furniture as she's got, too, and in such a good circuit; but when your daughter is married you don't see her as often as you want to, and it is no good pretending as you do." "That's true," agreed Caleb Bateson, with a big sigh; "and I never cease to miss my little lass." "She ain't no little lass now, Mr. Bateson," argued Mrs.
"If you were a well man, Bateson, we'd talk of that. But there's only one thing that matters to you now it's to feel God with you to be giving your soul to God." The two men gazed at each other. "What are tha nursin' me for, Rector?" said Bateson, abruptly "I'm nowt to you." "For the love of Christ," said Meynell, steadily, taking his hand "and of you, in Christ. But you mustn't talk.
Another case quoted by Bateson is that of the two common British Wasps, Vespa vulgaris and Vespa germanica. Both usually make subterranean nests, but of somewhat different materials.
The first lieutenant was dead. An officer of the Wanderer filled their places for the time, with Captain Helding's permission. The officer so employed was Lieutenant Crayford. He approached the man at the fireside, and awakened him. "Jump up, Bateson! It's your turn to be relieved." The relief appeared, rising from a heap of old sails at the back of the hut. Bateson vanished, yawning, to his bed.
