Besides, I behooved to be round the hirsel this morning, and see how the herds were coming on they're apt to be negligent wi' their footballs, and fairs, and trysts, when ane's away. And there I met wi' Tam o' Todshaw, and a wheen o' the rest o' the billies on the water side; they're a' for a fox-hunt this morning, ye'll gang? I'll gie ye Dumple, and take the brood mare mysell."
And the Eastern billies are very willing to yield one half of the contention. Mrs. Wilson, though Eastie by nature, had the jovial manner that you find in Kyle; more jovial, indeed, than was common in nippy Barbie, which, in general character, seems to have been transplanted from some sand dune looking out upon the German Ocean.
It did not do the ladies any harm; but I am not sure that it was the best thing for Oscar. It helped him feel every day, as he stepped along to recitations with his elbow clamping his books against his ribs and his heavy black curls bulging down from his gray slouch hat to his collar, how meritorious he was compared with Bertie and Billy with all Berties and Billies. He may have been.
"Maybe he'll tak' a closer look at us," suggested an optimist in the rear rank. "He micht walk doon the line." "Walk? No him!" replied Private M'Slattery. "He'll be awa' hame in the motor. Hae ony o' you billies gotten a fag?" There was a smothered laugh. The officers of the battalion were standing rigidly at attention in front of A Company. One of these turned his head sharply.
As the men leaped forward both Oscar and Cad drew short billies drew them so quickly that the men did not observe them until they felt them. A complete change had come over the appearance and actions of Oscar and Cad.
I doubt but we Army billies are better at puttin' men thegither than at takin' them to pieces in the long run.... Gently now, porter, wi' liftin' the patient.... Ay, McFadyen, that's richt, gie the man a hand. See to him, Saxham, is he no' fine to luik at? A wheen blue an' puffy, but the pulse is better than I would have expeckit. Wheel him awa', nurse; he'll no come round for another hour...."
In these Billy saw himself reproduced in a wavering line of Billies that, like the ghost of Banquo, stretched to the disappearing point. Of such images there was an army, but of the real Billy, as he was acutely conscious, there was but one. Among the black faces scowling from the doorways he felt the odds were against him.
The nannies and billies, under stress of the new excitement, ran suddenly wild and developed a fleetness of foot, an expertness in climbing, and powers of endurance hitherto all unsuspected by their owners; so very few animals were recovered by the visitors. The hunt was continued throughout the next day.
Probably Cow Flat was so called because nobody had ever seen anything remotely resembling a cow anywhere in the vicinity; consequently goats were hold in high esteem, for ten goats can live and prosper where one cow would die of hunger and melancholy in a month. Jacker Mack, Peterson, and Parrot Cann had recognised their billies in the heard, but Butts was still missing.
She saw the licht in the window, and she cried, 'Hie, you billies in the windmill, the sojers is coming! I fell in a fricht, but the other man opened the door, and again she cries, 'The sojers is coming; quick, or you'll be ta'en. At that the other man up wi' his bonnet and ran, but I didna make off so smart." "You had to pick yourself up first," suggested the officer.
