The deacon, notwithstanding of his anxiety to get the bond signed, laughed outright at this tremendous sally of the boxmaster's enthusiasm of servitude; but it was a laugh of derision, and he forgot that he was himself daily losing more feathers, by a silent process of peculation going on under his wing, than were taken from Andrew by the conservative operation of his wife's billing and cooing.
Billing. "I'd like to take a photograph of her. The Bolivian public will be interested in a photograph of General John Regan's grandniece." "Run and get your camera then," said Dr. O'Grady. "I'll have her ready for you by the time you're back." Mr. Billing, looking very well satisfied and quite without suspicion, went into the hotel. "Doyle," said Dr.
Make up plans for transferring this filing function to Quarters Files, and work up a plan for transferring your billing to Fiscal. That's their business, and they know how to handle it. Submit your study to me this afternoon." He looked around the office again. "The people in Files and Fiscal can handle this workload without adding a single person. And they will.
Didn't he, Mary Ellen?" "He did," said Mary Ellen. "And Mr. Billing is the greatest living authority on everything connected with the General. So that settles it. Under those circumstances she must, of course, be presented to the Lord-Lieutenant when he comes down to unveil the statue." "I wonder what Mrs. Ford will say?" said Mrs. Gregg. "We'll talk about that afterwards.
Billing lurking in the background, busied herself over a china flower-pot that stood in the window, and turned an anxious eye upon three men waiting outside. After a glance or two she went to the door. "Did you want to see my husband?" she inquired. The biggest of the three nodded. "Yus," he said, shortly. "I'm sorry," said Mrs. Billing, "but he 'ad to go early this morning.
It's cheered 'em up wonderful. You and Mr. Purnip are quite right. I can see that now. You can tell him that it was you what put it into my 'art." "Me? Why, I never dreamt o' such a thing," declared the surprised Mr. Billing. "And there's other ways of doing good besides asking a pack of old women in to tea." "I know there is," said his wife.
"In that case," said Butcher Billing, "there's mischief in a state of fermentation. Did ever anybody see Nic and the devil together?" "I saw Nic and Mr. Moody together," said Dick Curtis.
It was low and mean, he knew, but that made no difference. He must get even. He thought over the situation. There they were, the élite of Cougarville, up in a canyon of the foothills, beside a creek, where were trees and turf and picturesque rocks, and were having a good time. Muggles and Molly had no doubt withdrawn from the mass of picnickers, and were billing and cooing together.
When this evoked no notice the boy shrugged in disgust and went on around the house, muttering: "Caramba! You'd think they'd get sick of so much billing and cooing. But no! I have to steal him away and take him swimming or fishing if I want a word alone with him. And the others are just as bad another pair of pigeons. It's like living in a dove-cote." Rosa, too, had vastly changed.
Why should she not want billing and cooing as well as another? It was natural that a woman should want some of it in her life, and she had had none of it yet. She had had a lover, certainly, but there had been no billing and cooing with him. Nothing of that kind had been possible in her brother Walter's house.
