That summer was one of the finest ever known in the country, and many were the hours spent by the little party about the Bath-chair, in the shade of the woods. At these times grandmamma would often speak of the children she had lost, and of the happy years which she had spent with them. How very pleasant good and cheerful old people are!
Put it in motion for him, and he will run with it. Bless me, who is that coming up the path at such a tremendous speed in a bath-chair? Oh, I see, it is Mrs Weston. She should not go as fast as that. If Pug was to stray on to the path he would be run over. Better pick up Pug again, Miss Lyall, till she has gone by. And here is Colonel Boucher.
"Incurable! You won't get better! Never get better until you " "Die? Precisely! That is what it means. I shall spend my life upon this couch, or being wheeled about in a bath-chair, suffering torments of pain and weariness until death comes to set me free the kindliest friend that could step inside my door!" "Oh!" cried Nan sharply. "Oh!"
It looks exactly as if it is gold, and, if it was, would be worth far more than any tin-opener." She went into the shop again. It was nearly ten minutes before she came out. Frank was seriously annoyed by a number of small children who crowded round the bath-chair and made remarks about his appearance.
"A baby in a bath-chair?" she sobbed. "Well, why not?" "It's like a cripple." "It's like a young giant, my dear, and you've no cause to be ashamed of him." "You've done something to him, Dandy," she said. "I can see it in your face." "Well, it hasn't stopped his growth, anyhow," said Redwood heartlessly. "I knew," said Mrs. Redwood, and clenched her pocket-handkerchief ball fashion in one hand.
You're sure you like it, Cousin Frank? Don't do it simply because you think you ought." Priscilla pushed the bath-chair from behind. Frank guided the shaky front wheel by means of a long handle. They went down the avenue at an extremely rapid pace, Priscilla moving in a kind of jaunty canter. When they reached the gate Frank's cigarette had gone out. There was a pause while he lit it again.
Be quick!" Susy put out her hand and helped Mrs. Church as well as she could out of the bath-chair. Tom winked when he saw the splendid apparition; then he stuck his tongue into his cheek, and coming close to his sister, he whispered: "Wherever did you get that toggery?" "That's nothing to you," said Susy. Mrs. Church glanced over her shoulder and looked solemnly at Susy.
But he went on to talk of the entirely different scheme for minority representation, which was introduced into the Reform Bill of 1867, and there I am obliged to part company with him. That was a silly scheme for giving two votes to each voter in a three-member constituency. It has about as much resemblance to the method of scientific voting under discussion as a bath-chair has to an aeroplane.
Six barrows, laden with flowering plants, each pulled by two boys, and pushed by one, were slowly but steadily travelling towards the town, and at the rear of all was a bath-chair in charge of Hallett and Armitage, wherein sat a thin, delicate-looking man, whose bright eyes and flushed cheeks spoke eloquently of gratitude and pleasure.
Peter Walsh helped Frank into the bath-chair. Priscilla, her face wearing a most determined expression, wheeled him away. "That rudder will be ready all right," she said. "But what do you think is going on on the island?" asked Frank. "I don't know." "Could they be smuggling?" "They might be smuggling, only I don't see where they'd get anything to smuggle.
