As he did so, a fat, heavy man, with a white face and pale grey eyes Bindon, the professor of botany, who came up from Kew for January and February came in by the lecture theatre door, and passed, rubbing his hands together and smiling, in silent affability down the laboratory. In the subsequent six weeks Hill experienced some very rapid and curiously complex emotional developments.
He took from his pocket a bottle, poured some of its contents into a tin cup, and drank it off. "No, I suppose you couldn't take a man down to Bindon," she said, as she saw his hand trembling on the cup. Then she turned and entered the other room again.
"What's it all about, Jinny? What's that about my canoeing a man down to Bindon?" "Eat, uncle," she said more softly than she had yet spoken, for his words about her care of him had brought a moisture to her eyes. "I'll be back in a minute and tell you all about it." "Well, it's about took away my appetite," he said. "I feel a kind of sinking."
You see from one point of view people with imaginations and passions like yours have to go they have to go." "Go?" "Die out. It's an eddy." He was a young man with a serene face. He smiled at Bindon. "We get on with research, you know; we give advice when people have the sense to ask for it. And we bide our time." "Bide your time?"
After considering such maps and information as to the nature of the country as were available, Sir Bindon Blood decided to enter the territories of the Mohmands by two routes. The 3rd Brigade through the pass of Nawagai. The 2nd Brigade over the Rambat Pass. This would sweep the country more thoroughly, and afford increased facilities for drawing supplies.
This estimate takes no account of the casualties among the transfrontier tribesmen, which were presumably considerable, but regarding which no reliable information could be obtained. Sir Bindon Blood offered them medical aid for their wounded, but this they declined. They could not understand the motive, and feared a stratagem.
No, it was certainly, according to Betty's lights, a most proper thing. But why does dough, in the hands of the cleanest child, become dark gray? Bindon, having done his duty by Betty, and not being able on this occasion to do it by both of us, made no further explanation.
About this time the earls of Kent, Lindsey, and Kingston, were raised to the rank of marquisses. The lords Wharton, Paulet, Godolphin, and Cholmondeley, were created earls. Lord Walden, son and heir-apparent to the earl of Suffolk, obtained the title of earl of Bindon. The lord-keeper Cowper, and sir Thomas Pelham, were ennobled as barons.
"What's it all about, Jinny? What's that about my canoeing a man down to Bindon?" "Eat, uncle," she said, more softly than she had yet spoken, for his words about her care of him had brought a moisture to her eyes. "I'll be back in a minute and tell you all about it." "Well, it's about took away my appetite," he said. "I feel a kind of sinking."
In May, Sir Bindon Blood, having returned to the line to refit, made yet another cast through that thrice-harried belt of country which contains Ermelo, Bethel, and Carolina, in which Botha, Viljoen, and the fighting Boers had now concentrated.
